Brunei Hold Kedah To Scoreless Draw
By Dannie Abu Basrah

Bandar Seri Begawan – Brunei DPMM FC put up a great performance at the Darul Aman Stadium in Kedah last night when they held the host to a scoreless draw to snatch a point.

Brunei DPMM FC coach Ranko fielded his usual starting 11 with Antonio Lombardo Tosi and Fadlin Galawat spearheading the attack as the Croatian also included new signing Cameroonian, Mathew Mbuta from the kickoff in his second match for Brunei DPMM FC.

Host Kedah started the game brilliantly launching several dangerous attacks throughout the first half with attempts from Saramsak, Chi Chi Mendez and Marcos Magno but Brunei DPMM FC goalie Wardun displayed a solid performance.

Kedah defender Victor nearly gave Brunei DPMM FC the lead after Mathew Mbuta's header forced him to head backwards for, a corner that missed his own goal inches away. However, Brunei DPMM FC's best chance came on the 42"d minute as Antonio Lombardo Tosi failed to _head home from close range after Rosmin's searching corner met the Brazilian at the far post.

Two minutes into the second half, Saramsak wasted a good chance to put the host in front where the striker only needed a touch to direct the ball into goal from a low right cross.

It was overall an end to end action throughout the game as Brunei DPMM FC too battled their way forward with their golden chance arriving on the 51S' minute through a counter attack as Fadlin beat off two defenders before lining a shot for unmarked Antonio Lombardo Tosi but unfortunately the Brazilian failed to capitalise blasting the ball high over the bar.

With the game still locked without a goal, Kedah threw in their star youngsters in the form of Md Bunyamin and Khyril Muhymeen that proved to win most ball possession with Saramsak and Magno coming close to snatching a goal and all three points in the last 5 minutes. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
