Jaded PFA slip to a 2-0 defeat

PFA 0 - 2 IBP

Having played with 10-man for the most of the first period saw PFA slip to a 2-0 defeat against IBP at Padang Kecil. However the score-line does not reflect the game as it was PFA who only had the ball and possession to play and created ton of chances but lady luck was not on PFA side.

It was Daniel who was first to make the opposition goalkeeper to work, finding himself denied by the goalkeeper with a fine save. He also came within inches of scoring the leveler as he struck the inside of the post. It was an unusual performance by the striker as he failed to convert the chances he has had in the first period where he should have scored three or four.

Chances continued to come for PFA as Ninak’s long range effort was again tipped off by the goalkeeper. Najib’s disallowed goal should have stood on as he was on-side when he struck a thunderous left-foot volley but the referee calls for offside.

Jarul also hit the woodwork with a 30 yards strike that rattled the crossbar in the second period. IBP once again were thankful to their keeper again as he denied mass of chances to keep PFA at bay. IBP’s counter-attacking game plan was working to perfection for the whole game and left PFA wondering how did they lost the game which they dominated.
