"We played very well tonight and I think we controlled the game. It could have been better. There were a lot of chances in the game, and we could have scored more goals." said Abdul Aziz in an interview with The Brunei Times.
"I told the players not to be over confident before the game as Kilanas FC is a very good team. We saw in the previous games that we were too relax whenever we were leading in the game and it gave the opponent the chances to get back into the game."
"The strategy tonight was to get the ball to the penalty area for the strikers to score. I think Kilanas FC were quite defensive in the first half and we are very glad to be able to score goals and win the game," he added.
Meanwhile, Kilanas FC assistant coach Radzuan Hj Madali was unhappy with the match officials in the game. The Kilanas FC assistant coach felt that the match officials were inconsistent in the game.
"I think the refereeing today was very poor. Majra FC's third goal was an offside. He (Mohd Ikmal Hakim) was clearly offside. The third goal killed the game off and the players were down," he said. "We were without our key defender Nazirul Azim in the match and it was very difficult for us as we have to change the game tactically. We will be playing against Najip FC next and we could not afford to lose again this time."
