SETIA Perdana's goalkeeper, Roslan Hj Rosli, was the hero of last
night's match after saving a penalty that sent his team through into the
third round of the Brunei FA Cup.
Held at the Berakas Sports Complex, Setia Perdana defeated Najip FC 6-5 in a penalty shootout after both teams were tied 2-2 following extra time.
In the first half, Najip FC struggled to maintain possession of the ball as Setia Perdana were relentless in attack using their left-sided midfielders to get crosses into Najip FC's penalty box.
With Setia Perdana threatening to score, Najip FC's defenders had to keep their defence strong and were forced to clear the ball out of danger.
However, Setia Perdana's persistence was rewarded in the the 25th minute when Mohd Omar Ali Hj Ladis tucked the ball home after Najip FC Goalkeeper, Mohd Fuad Lasa spilt a low wild shot from outside the area.
Setia Perdana did not have time to celebrate as Najip FC quickly scored an equaliser following a minute after the first goal was scored.
A free kick taken near the right corner post of Setia Perdana's side of the field found an unmarked Sahrul Hj Sabatu, who tapped the ball into the net for Najip FC.
In the second half, Setia Perdana's Mohd Omar Ali struck again when a cross from the left side found the striker, who raced into the middle of the penalty box, to fire a low volley making it 2-1 in the 51st minute.
In the 59th minute Najip FC made a second comeback from a freekick just outside the right-side of the penalty box.
Huzaimi Hj Tengah struck the freekick which hit a Setia Perdana defender deflecting it into goal tying the scores at 2-2.
In the 90th minute, it looked to be the end for Setia Perdana when Najip FC was awarded a penalty kick, but Setia Perdana's goalkeeper Roslan was not to be beaten when he dived the right way and kept the ball out of goal.
At extra time, and the onset of pouring rain, both teams were tired but did not let up, with no goals, the game was decided on penalty shootouts to which Setia Perdana came out as the better team.
Setia Perdana's team manager Hj Lalim Hj Piut said that he was content with the game but commented that both teams were playing too safe.
"It was an equal match but we were more in control on the offense," said Hj Lalim.
Setia Perdana will face LLRC FT next Wednesday (Oct 31st) at the Balapan Track and Field at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas at 8pm.
Tomorrow's match will witness Majra FC take on Brunei Shell Recreation Club (BSRC) at the Berakas Sports Complex at 8pm.
