NAJIP FC downed the Royal Brunei Police Force Sports Council (MS PDB) 3-0 for the second time in the DST Super League to replace the policemen in the league table last night.

They now sit third with 23 points, overshadowing MS PDB.

Though MS PDB are also on 23 points, Najip FC top the policemen because of a superior goal difference of 10.

After a goalless first half, Najip FC came out more determined and finally added two goals through Muhd Karimurrizal Kasmi in the span of five minutes in the 61st and 66th minute.

Najip FC’s Mohd Aminuddin Zakwan Mohd Tahir then went on to slot in the team’s third in the 87th minute of the match at the Balapan Track and Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas.

Najip FC coach Hj Johari Bungsu explained to The Brunei Times that the goalless first half was part of his tactics when asked if he felt his team started on the slow side.

“Our strategy was to play calm, maintain our passing and control our stamina in the first half,” said Hj Johari.

“In the second half our target was to close in on the left and right flank, which was really important because that’s how we scored our first and second goal.

“My players showed a good performance tonight but they will need to improve on their stamina for their next game against the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) on Saturday.
 
“It was simple play and belief by the players as well as some good finishing.

“Since a few of our players returned from their Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy training camp in Sabah, we have been giving them extra support,” added Hj Johari.
