MAJRA
UNITED held defending champions Indera SC to a 0-0 draw during their
DST Super League match last night, handing the titleholders their second
draw of the season.
The Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) beat Najip FC 2-1 in last night’s other game.
The army men’s fifth win of the campaign has pushed them from fourth to second – and just five points adrift of Indera.
Indera started the game strongly and spent most of the 90 minutes inside their opponent’s half, though Majra’s well-organised defence made it difficult for Indera to find the net at the Balapan Track & Field at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas.
Majra had some of the best scoring chances, with most of them led by captain Faizal Mohammad.
However, Faizal’s attempts to score did not bear any fruit as Indera goalkeeper Mohd Fakrul Zulhamzi Yussof was quick with his saves.
Indera’s coach was unhappy with his team’s performance which he blamed on “carelessness”.
“We had opportunities to score but the strikers and the players did not convert them,” said Hj Omar Hj Jamil, whose team drew 1-1 against QAF FC on Feb 9.
“We will need to train more on our finishing and we have to refine and improve it so that the opportunities that came along can be converted,” he said, adding that Majra were well-organised due to Faizal’s coordination.
Majra’s coach mirrored Hj Omar’s comments.
“We had a lot of opportunities to score but unfortunately they were not well taken,” said Hj Mahadi Hj Matzin.
“Indera are a renowned and respected opponent and during the game we were strengthening our defence to be on par with them,” said Hj Mahadi, adding that they will also have to work on their finishing
.
Meanwhile at the Berakas Sports Complex, MS ABDB’s Sld Mohd Khairuddin Abd Kadir opened the scoring in the ninth minute before Sld Mohd Baharin Hamidon made it 2-0 in the 51st minute.
Najip’s Noor Raimi Karim @ Syahremy got his team on the scoresheet with a 72nd minute penalty.
Najip dropped from third to fourth with the result, while the Royal Brunei Police Force Sports Council are third in the 10-team table.
