By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - A goal from Md Akmal Hakim bin Abd Hamid on 63rd minute against Jerudong FC was enough to secure AH United a place in the Brunei DST Group League Cup semifinals at the JBS field last night.

Rosanan Samak, the coach of AH United said after the game: "We were lucky to walk away with a win. Jerudong FC was on the offensive all the time but they couldn't find any finishing."

"I also want to praise my players who have worked hard to hit a goal past the stubborn Jerudong FC defence. The players have matured a lot since the start of the season."

Both Premier I teams wasted a number of clear-cut goal scoring chances in the first half. AR United came close to taking the lead on 31st minute when captain Ak Asrul Asydnee Pg Sahdon's effort was saved by goalkeeperAbdul Hafz Hj Mursadi.

On the other side of the pitch, Jerudong FC almost put their fans into a frenzy when Muhd Arif Ali Rahman's attempt was saved by goalkeeper Muhd Ali Hanapiyah Hj Md Noor.

Minutes before the break, AH United have another chance to break the deadlock but Mohd Helmi Zambin couldn't finished off his speedy dribble into the penalty box and hit the ball straight to the hands of Jerudong FC goalkeeper.

After the interval, Jerudong FC almost went ahead when Jasni Nasri flicked the ball to Muhd Azwan Ali Rahman who hit the ball wide to the right side of the goalpost on 53rd minute.

Ten minutes later, AH United perfectly executed a counter attack move. In the lightning attack, Radiman Abd Rahman was able to get the ball from midfield and supplied a pinpoint pass to Md Akmal Hakim who then hit a powerful drive into the back of Jerudong FC's net.

AH United will either meet QAF FC or Brunei Shell FT in the semifinals. QAF FC and Brunei Shell FT will be playing tonight at the JBS field.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
