Brunei To Take On Johor Today
By Dannie Abu Basrah

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei DPMM FC after drawing 1-1 at home with Terengganu will take on Johor tonight at the Tan Sri Dato Hj Hassan Yunos Stadium in Johor Baru.

In their first game, Johor had beaten Perak UPB 2-0 away with a double strike from Norizam Salaman on the 18th and 81st minute.

Brunei DPMM FC are currently in 4th place of Group A behind Kelantan, Sarawak and Johor.

With all the 11 players who started the game against Terengganu fit, it will surely be athrilling match as Brunei DPMM FC go into the match searching for their first three points.

Coach Buketa Ranko's 3-5-2 formation proved to be effective as they controlled most possession of the ball with the wingbacks providing numerous good crosses into the box but unfortunately the only thing that was lacking in the previous game was "efficiency".

Indeed the formation was undeniably an entertaining and new experience for the supporters, but the team seems to be lacking the venom up front and the solidness in the centre of midfield that saw most of the hard work went to waste.

Fadlin Galawat was at his usual superb form upfront against Terengganu pairing alongside Antonio Lombardo Tosi, but the Brazilian was seen for most part of the game strolling out of position to the left side leaving Fadlin alone in attack that made it easier for the defenders to mark.

As for midfielders, Goran Vusanovic's free role in midfield became too freely at times exposing a big gap in the centre of midfield instantly creating a good goal scoring opportunity for the opponents as evident in the 69th minute goal by Rosairil Mat Nor.

But despite those weaknesses, the defence was brilliant and had good composure at the back with Rene Komar in command while the two wingbacks, Hj Muhd Subhi Abdillah and Sairol Hj Sahri too had a good game seeing both delivering plenty of quality crosses into the box from the right and left flanks.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
