Both team start cautiously where DPMM FC field up their second squad but still consist of their senior players, AK Sallehudin, Sharul Rizal, Mardi, Saiful, Pg Kamarulzaman, and three import players while JFC without their influential Captain Radzi in the starting line up. He came late due to long travelling from Lumut KB and on finished finding money at 16.00 p.m.

JFC with young gun upfront Atong and Ak Ariff have done well to compete with the experienced DPMM FC defender Sharul Rizal but they need some more exposure to score. In midfield JFC Samra and Tuyul in central midfield while Lantik and Long Azwan playing wide. Then JFC Captain arrived, few minutes warm up and thencoach replacing Saiful Rizal @ Tuyul putting him in. He made a differents by making more noise and instruction to the teams. They did create chances for themselves and striker but half time ended with 0-0.

Second half coach Zul made few changes by replacing Lantik, Azmi, Arif goalie with Basing , Hafiz, and Dahlan. JFC have more control on the game where DPMM FC possession was stop until the half of the pitch by the hard work from JFC midfields and defends.

With run of play, DPMM FC went ahead through their import player from a penalty kick. It was started with loose possession from Arif where he square the ball in front of the small D box, the import control the ball and un intentionally pull back by Basing. The referee doesn’t hesitate to blow his whistle and gave a penalty kick. JFC didn’t go down, they step up their turbo. They managed to get level through a goal by Atong with a well perfect pass and run from Dahlan. Few minutes after that the game ended with 1 –1.
