JFC 0 - 2 MS ABDB


Berakas Track & Field
25th Feb 2008

JFC have played their 7th game of the season against current league leader MS ABDB last night at Berakas track and field. Due to unavailability of some regular players, JFC have to play with new formation from 4-4-2 to 4-5-1. By the absent of Saiful Azni and Ak Zulremie, Kumang have to partner with Azmi in central defenses. There’s no change at the left and right defender where Zul and Buyut will guard the wide area from the speedy ABDB winger. By playing five midfields, JFC hoping to stop the army from having lots of possession on the ball. Arif will play alone upfront supported by Azwan and Dahlan.

The formation proof to be working when JFC pressing ABDB from the starting whistle. Unfortunately their play maker and captain got an injury after 10 minutes when he overstrecth his left knee. This proof to be crucial since his hardworking and hard tackle tends to slow down. By a few shots of magic spray he continued playing until the 90 minutes. In 30th minutes, JFC managed to put the ball back of the net but it was ruled out by the referee for high foot challenges on ABDB keeper Alexander Sitom. JFC players have the right to complain since 5 ft tall Dahlan was fouled against much taller goal keeper. This have wake up the the army from their armor vehicles where they raised up their tempo by quick passing and speedy run from their wide player but JFC defends commanded by Kumang managed to stop ABDB from scoring. Hoping to keep the score line 0-0, JFC went behind when Mohd Roy Suhardi managed to score after receiving perfect cross from the right flank. It was a clinical finish from him which was lack in JFC opposite team.

Second half start slow where JFC do their best to slow down the pace of the game hopefully they can press their turbo in the final quarter of the game. But they were unfortunate when ABDB increase their lead from Ak Mahali header through set pieces in the 68th minutes. JFC who's looking for their in three games gain fail due to poor finishing even though have created a lot of chances. At the end the game finished 0 -2.

Eventhough defeated, JFC have improved their playing pattern and positive combination in defence. There’s a lot of improvement need to be done especially on the finishing in order JFC to get more points in the league.
