Brunei hold Johor to draw
By Dannie Abu Basrah

It was another 1-1 draw and one point in the bag for Brunei DPMM FC as they drew last night with Johor in their second game of the 2005/2006 Malaysian Premier League Group A that saw Antonio Lombardo Tosi once again hitting the net.

Brunei DPMM FC's Fadlin Galawat nearly provided a dream start in the 4th minute after his left foot shot beat the goalie but was denied a goal by the woodwork.

The home team slowly found their rhythm as they moved towards half time the stronger side. Johor were even presented with a golden opportunity as they were handed a penalty on the 37th minute after a player was brought down inside the box and scored from it.

But luckily for Brunei DPMM FC the penalty had to be retaken as a result of encroachment from a Johor player that was eventually punched away for a corner by Wardun Yusof.

The deadlock was finally broken on the 69th minute as Antonio Lombardo Tosi was brought down for a penalty and he converted the spot kick to give Brunei DPMM FC the lead.

The lead was shortlived as Johor equalised two minutes later also from the penalty spot by Md Shahril Nizam Khalil.
