Brunei DPMM FC Chase Another Win
By Alex How

Bandar Seri Begawan - Head coach Buketa Ranko aims for another three points when Brunei DPMM FC take on Pulau Pinang at Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium at 8.15pm tonight, in the qualifiers for the Super League.

Brunei DPMM FC are the joint leaders in the standings after their 2-1 win over Kedah during the weekend.

Fadlin Galawat's winner in the 88th minute secured Brunei DPMM FC all the three points after Kedah's Shafiq Jamal had cancelled out Hardi Bujang's opener. "We will try to win against Pulau Pinang, we play at home, it will be another chance for us to get three points," said Ranko.

Ranko also hailed the performance of his team for their superb tactical discipline. "I am very happy with the players, they played very well, and the local players have shown that they can beat anyone when they give one hundred percent. I am also happy with Fadlin, who was out of form for a while, and now he starts scoring again, it is good for the team and good for him."

Ranko paid tribute to the Kedah team who had played very well, and to their supporters who were always behind the team. But he did express his suspicions about the equalising goal being scored from an offside position.

Ranko calls on the local fans to support for the team tonight, and help them in their quest for three more points. Perlis share top spot in the Super League table with Brunei, after a 2-1 win over Pahang thanks to goals from Azlan Ismail and Fauzi Nan. Rashid Madmud scored for Pahang in the 59th minute.

Pulau Pinang will be chasing their first win after they were held to a goalless draw at home by Melaka Telecom. Johor FC drew 0-0 with defending champions Negri Sembilan in another game. Perak beat Sarawak 2-1, while Brunei DPMM FC's opponent this Saturday, Selangor, defeated Malacca 1-0.
