Goalless Draw For DPMM And AH United
By Dannie Abu Basrah

Bandar Seri Begawan - It was very disappointing end to a highly anticipated match as two best Premier 1 teams in the Shell Helix B-League - DPMM FC and AH United - played to a goalless draw at a packed Jerudong Mini Stadium yesterday.

AH United started the game without new signing Brian Iman Abdullah Bothwell, but immediately had DPMM FC on the back pedal.

Their first chance at goal came in the 4th minute when Md Shah Razen Said outpaced Florin Socaciu Olimpiu to latch onto an Ak Salehuddin pass, but fired his shot straight at the DPMM FC goalie.

DPMM FC themselves were guilty of wasting a number of chances to go ahead.

Rosmin's freekick in the 5th minute found Olimpiu, but the towering defender headed over the bar.

Peter Gary Grierson put more pressure on the visitors, firing twice in the 11th and 12th minutes, only to see the shots missing the AH United goal by inches.

But DPMM FC had their best chance in the 27th minute when Saizan Hj Kula found himself in a superb goal-scoring opportunity, thanks a brilliant Grierson through ball, but squandered the chance from 5 yards.

The second half continued in the same disappointing vein, but things spiced up in injury time. AH United had a K Assleywandi Tamit goal disallowed for offside just before the final whistle, while a few seconds later Oluseye Ajayi came close to securing all three points for DPMM FC but his glancing header missed the target by an inch.

At the Penanjong Camp, ABDB had to wait until the last 10 minutes of the game to break the Sengkurong defence, scoring goals through Sardillah Abdullah in the 80th minute; and two more through Md Hazreen in the 81st and 87th minutes.

The win put ABDB within 4 points of second-placed AH United. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
