Oleh Mohamad Asyramisyanie
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, 20 Nov – Wijaya FC membawa pulang tiga mata penuh setelah menewaskan Menglait FC 3-1 dalam aksi Liga Super Brunei DST 2017, di Kompleks Sukan Berakas hujung minggu lalu.
Wijaya FC bermula garang di separuh masa pertama dengan berada di depan menerusi jaringan Badrul Anak Bujang pada minit ke-26 dan kedudukan menjadi 2-0 apabila Marhazif bin Ahad menemui sasaran.
Pada babak kedua, Menglait FC cuba bangkit merapatkan jaringan dan akhirnya berjaya menjaringkan satu gol pada minit ke-54 menerusi Mohd Nazirul Azim Haji Annuar, namun gol itu hanya sebagai sagu hati apabila Mohd Nasy’rul Wafiy Haji Hassan melengkapkan kemenangan Wijaya FC dalam perlawanan itu.
Sementara itu dalam satu perlawanan kelmarin, di Kompleks Sukan Batu Api, Lun Bawang gagal memanfaatkan peluang bermain di gelanggang sendiri apabila terpaksa akur berkongsi satu mata dengan Majlis Sukan Polis Diraja Brunei (MS PDB).
Lun Bawang menyaksikan gawang mereka dibolosi sebanyak dua kali di babak pertama, namun sempat menjaringkan satu gol sebelum rehat bagi menghidupkan harapan mereka untuk terus dalam persaingan.
Ketika perlawanan berbaki sembilan minit, Lun Bawang berjaya menembusi gawang MS PDB bagi mendapatkan gol penyamaan untuk menjadikan kedudukan 2-2, yang kekal hingga wisel penamat.
Di Kompleks Sukan Berakas kelmarin, Tabuan Muda A menang tipis ke atas pasukan Jerudong FC dengan jaringan 2-1.

MS ABDB pintas Kota Ranger
Oleh Mohamad Asyramisyanie
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, 19 Nov – Harapan Kota Ranger FC untuk terus bertakhta di puncak Liga Super Brunei DST 2017 lebur apabila terpaksa menerima hakikat berkongsi satu mata dengan Indera SC dan ekoran kemenangan Pasukan Majlis Sukan Angkatan Bersenjata Diraja Brunei (MS ABDB) ke atas Pasukan Kasuka FC baru-baru ini.
MS ABDB kembali ke tangga teratas liga super apabila menunjukkan permainan yang hebat membenam Pasukan Kasuka dengan jaringan 5-0 di Kompleks Sukan Berakas di sini.
Abdul Azizi Ali Rahman menjadi wira MS ABDB setelah menjaringkan empat gol, sementara satu gol lagi disumbangkan oleh Mohd Fadhli bin Haji Awang Salleh.
Sementara itu di Balapan dan Padang Kompleks Sukan Negara Hassanal Bolkiah, Berakas, kesilapan Pertahanan Indera SC pada minit ke-11 menghadiahkan sepakan percuma di luar petak yang membolehkan Mohd Faiz Farhan Kamat meletakkan Kota Ranger di depan dengan penyudah cantik.
Selang lima minit kemudian, Mohd Abu Bakar Mahari menghukum kelekaan pertahanan Indera SC apabila memanfaatkan bola yang melantun selepas ditepis oleh penjaga gol untuk gol kedua pasukannya.
Namun begitu baru sahaja separuh masa kedua disambung, kali ini pertahanan Kota Ranger pula leka, menyaksikan Mohd Asri Haji Aspar memanfaatkan hantaran ke dalam petak bahaya untuk jaringan pertama Indera SC.
Indera SC dihadiahkan sepakan penalti selepas Hardi Bujang mengasari penyerang Indera di dalam petak, dan tanggungjawab penalti itu dipikul oleh Mohd Asri untuk menjadikan kedudukan 2-2, yang kekal hingga wisel penamat.

WIJAYA FC (featured pic) defied the cold and rainy weather to beat Menglait FC 3-1 in the DST Super League at the Berakas Sports Complex last night.
The rain hindered the game with the field drenched but Wijaya took the lead with an impressive shot from Badrul Anak Bujang from distance in the 26th minute.
Wijaya doubled their lead two minutes later after catching Menglait defenders napping.
Marhazif Ahad was sent through inside the area to fire the ball past goalkeeper Lim Jin Yee following a quick one-two.
Menglait tried to get back into the game utilising their wingers to mount attacks from both flanks but Wijaya defenders dealt with every cross brilliantly.
The second-half saw Menglait approach the game with intent and they finally found the net just nine minutes after the restart through Md Nazirul Azim Hj Annuar.
Wijaya stepped up their game right after and scored their third goal through Md Nasy’rul Wafiy Hj Hassan in the 65th minute to regain a two-goal lead.
Menglait were desperate to obtain a positive result by throwing their players forward but Wijaya defended very well.
The downpour made it harder for both teams to stay on their feet with the slippery surface resulting in several dangerous sliding tackles but Wijaya managed to hold on for the three points.

Wijaya head coach Zul Duraman: "Both teams played their best tonight (last night) despite the bad weather, and I am glad that we came out the winner.
“We are targeting a top-three finish in the league this year and we have four matches left to play against some of the strongest teams so we need to be mentally and physically ready for that.
“The DST Super League is a tough league to be in with as all the teams are strong. So I need all my players to focus on these last few matches.”
Menglait head coach Khairul Bakar: "The game was good but the pitch condition didn’t help. We made a lot of mistakes. The two goals we conceded were due to defensive errors.
"We improved in the second half but we just couldn't convert our chances.
"I also felt that the referee didn’t control the game. There were lots of missed tackles which could have injured the players. Luckily we didn’t have any serious injuries.
"We need to concentrate on our few remaining games especially against Jerudong and Lun Bawang to take as many points as possible.
"Improvement is also needed to be done quickly especially in the attacking department as well as defending. We are a young team and we will learn from this experience.”

Kota Ranger lose top spot after draw in Super League
| Fadhil Yunus |
KOTA Ranger FC took a massive dent to their title aspirations in the DST Super League following a 2-2 draw with Indera SC at the Track and Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex last night.
There was huge interest after MS ABDB surrendered their top place billing and were stunned to a goalless draw in the uniformed personnel derby against MS PDB and with Kota Ranger’s 3-1 win over Lun Bawang in Temburong.
However, there is a twist to the plot in this sensational Super League storyline as their grasp on top spot slipped with their title rivals also playing on the same night.
Md Faiz Farhan bin Kasmat scored directly from a free kick in the 23rd minute to present his side the lead before Abu Bakar bin Mahari doubled the lead with a ferocious drive.
However, Indera, buoyed by a series of impressive results as of late, were allowed a route back to the game after Md Asri bin Haji Aspar benefited from a good ball into the box before firing home past Kota Ranger goalkeeper Azman Ilham bin Haji Md Noor.
Indera were awarded a penalty which Md Asri duly converted for his side’s second of the game in the 77th minute.
“Our side displayed high spirits and great commitment to get the goals especially when getting a goal is not easy,” said Indera SC head coach Mohd Darus Tanjong in a post-match interview.
“I’m grateful that we managed to draw and a get a point from the game,” he continued.
“I’m not going to talk about luck, there are fortunes, but there is only a small margin between us scoring and not.
“The Kota Ranger’s goalkeeper was quick to read the play,” he said.
Meanwhile, MS ABDB returned to the top of the table following a 5-0 win over Kasuka FC in the other game at the Berakas Sports Complex.

INDERA SC came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Kota Ranger FC in the DST Super League at the Balapan Track & Field in Berakas last night.
Kota Ranger have been displaced to second place in the 11-team table after two-time defending champions MS ABDB (Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council) swept aside Kasuka FC 5-0 in the other match at the Berakas Sports Complex.
The Armymen are now on 44 points while Kota Ranger are two points back with three games remaining in the competition.
Kota Ranger got off to a strong start after Md Faiz Farhan broke the deadlock with a superb freekick in the 11th minute.
They doubled their lead six minutes later with Abu Bakar Mahari reacting the fastest to fire home the rebound.
He could have added another just before the half hour mark but missed on the connection at the far post.
He came close again four minutes later after skipping past one defender but Indera goalkeeper Haimie Anak Nyaring came off his line to cover the shot.

Indera settled down and could have pulled one back back moments later after a ball over the top sent Hamizan Aziz Sulaiman through but his shot was denied by the upright.
Md Shafie Hj md Effendy had a chance the next minute but Ak Ammar Syafie Pg Hassanuddin came to the rescue with a timely tackle to block the shot.
Kota Ranger goalkeeper Azman Ilman Md Noor then had to put up a stop to deny Nazirruddin Hj Ismail.
Kota Ranger almost added to their tally just before the halftime whistle but Abu Bakar watched his shot bounce just wide of the post.
Indera grabbed one back in the opening minute of the second half with the ball played to the right for Md Asri Hj Aspar firing past Azman Ilham.
Indera continued to pile on the pressure but couldn’t find their finishing in the final third.
Instead, Kota Ranger could have regained their two-goal cushion in the 57th minute.
Md Hafis Mahari made his move down the left flank before cutting back for Abu Bakar but the latter somehow fired over from 12 yards out with Haimie off his line.
Indera were almost made to pay in the 70th minute after a bad backpass by Md Yazid Md Azmi almost allowed Hafis to pounce but Haimie read it well and came out of the box to clear the ball.
Indera were awarded a penalty four minutes later after Asri was caught fouled in the box.
He then stepped up to convert the spot kick from 12 yards out to see both teams share the spoils from the encounter.
Things got heated towards the end and Kota Ranger’s Hardy Anak Bujang was eventually red carded after the final whistle with both teams coming together.

Kota Ranger assistant manager Andy Ibrahim: “Our opponents pushed us and kept us under pressure very well.
Fortunately in the first half we managed to grab the lead but unfortunately in the first minute of the second half they scored.
We lost focus then and they managed to put us in our own half of the field and kept attacking us which made us tired.
Our fitness level is quite good but today was just not our lucky day. At least we still managed to get a draw.
Three points is important. But now we share the point and there is nothing we can do about it.”
Indera SC head coach Md Daus Tanjong: “Our team was determined and had high commitment to get the goal.
It is not easy to score goals but important is the motivation and team work that to helped us to score.
We were going for the long ball in the second half but their goalkeeper was also fast to read the situations.
My target is to finish in the top three. It is not easy and we will work work hard to get it. We will take it point by point and one game at a time.”
AZIZI BAGS FOUR GOALS IN MS ABDB WIN
MS ABDB striker Azizi Ali Rahman netted four first half goals in the victory over Kasuka FC, the most by any player in a single game in a DST Super League match this season.
The competition's all-time leading scorer brought his tally to 24 this season while Abu Bakar Mahari is now in second place with 22 to his name.

Shafie wira Indera benam Kasuka
Oleh Mohamad Asyramisyanie
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, 10 Nov – Indera SC menarik nafas lega apabila berjaya mencuri satu jaringan untuk memastikan tiga mata penuh ketika menentang Kasuka FC dalam perlawanan Liga Super Brunei DST di Balapan dan Padang, Kompleks Sukan Negara Hassanal Bolkiah, Berakas.
Jaringan Mohd Shafie Haji Mohd Effendy pada minit ke-30 babak pertama memberikan tekanan kepada Kasuka FC dan menyaksikan kedua-dua pasukan saling berbalas-balas serangan.
Beliau sekali lagi nyaris menjaringkan gol pada minit ke-36 apabila mendapat umpanan daripada rakan sepasukannya, namun cubaan lencongannya hanya melepasi sudut atas palang gol Kasuka, kedudukan kekal 1-0 sehingga rehat separuh masa..
Pada babak kedua, Kasuka tampak lebih tajam apabila mengatur serangan demi serangan ke kubu Indera, namun pujian perlu diberikan kepada barisan pemain Indera SC kerana tenang mengawal perlawanan. Babak kedua kekal tanpa jaringan dan kemenangan menjadi milik Indera SC.
