MS ABDB assistant coach Dahari Hj Md Yussof was pleased with the showing of his charges.
“The game was alright and everything went accordingly. What we have been working on in training, the players executed them,” said Dahari in an interview with BruSports News after the triumph.
“The players also showed good teamwork that resulted in the scoreline,” he added.
Despite the long break before entering the matchup, MS ABDB have been continuous training throughout the festive season with sessions in the night during Ramadhan and in the morning during Hari Raya.

The armymen lost their captain Haizul Rani Metusin, who moved on to join DPMM FC, but in turn acquired SLD (U) Ak Md Fakharazzi Pg Hj Hassan from the club.
When asked about the performance of the new right-back, Dahari replied: “Alhamdulillah. So far so good. He didn’t get much playing time with DPMM FC and it is good to have him here as a replacement to Haizul Rani.”
