A GOAL down in the second-half, IKLS FC came back fighting to defeat Jerudong FC 2-1 in the third-round FA Cup match at the Balapan Track and Field at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas last night.
The first-half witnessed a fast-paced game but both teams matching each other in offence and defence resulting in a goalless half.
What broke the deadlock in the second-half was when Jerudong FC was awarded a penalty kick in the 49th minute because of a hard slide tackle by an IKLS FC defender and Asmadi Ibrahim easily scored making it 1-0.
IKLS FC's equaliser came only in the 64th minute, when Jerudong FC's goalkeeper misjudged a bouncing ball and IKLS FC's Muhd Fakhrul Tamimi Hj Sahri cashed in on the opportunity to tap it into the net.
With both teams equal terms, they strive hard to break the deadlock resulting in fouls and a scramble for the ball. However, 81st minute saw the winning goal. After an interception, IKLS FC launched a counter attack. A low cross from the right found a waiting Ateraba@ Norman Hj Abdul Rahman, who immediately used his right foot to kick the ball into goal.
The final score was 2-1.
IKLS FC's Coach Hj Mohd Ali Rahman Hj Sulaiman told The Brunei Times that the win was a quite surprise especially when they defeated an established team like Jerudong FC. "It was a good game, I believe that it was fitness that had us win the game," said Hj Mohd Ali Rahman.
He added that the team played as a unit in both attack and defence.
In today's match, BESA FC take on Kilanas FC at the Balapan Track and Field at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas at 8pm.
