By Dannie Abu Basrah

And, for the third straight game, Brazilian signing Antonio Lombardo Tosi scored the Brunei DPMM FC goal, proving to one and all just honk valuable an asset he is turning out to be.

The loss on Sunday extended Pulau Pinang's losing streak to three games in a row.

Meanwhile in a top-of-the-table at the Sarawak Stadium in Kuching, the home team emerged triumphant in a hard-fought encounter after they beat Johor 3-2. The hosts took a two-goal lead, thanks to a double strike from Mohd Safee Sali in the 45th and 55th minutes, before Johor pulled one back through Latiff Kamaluddin in the 73rd minute.

Junaid Sartley restored Sarawak's 2-goal cushion in the 81st minute but that only lasted for a minute as Khairil Ismail scored Johor's second soon after. And despite Johor's attempt at a comeback, Sarawak held on to the score, and bagged all three points to remain atop Group A.
