Sahrul Azni’s costly foul gifted Perkasa a point. What an entertaining match between LLRC FT and Perkasa FC this afternoon at the Belapan Sports Complex. LLRC FT has caught many by surprise and probably earned the title “giant killers” as they became the only lower ranked club to reach the semi-finals of the DST Brunei League Cup, beating Wijaya 3-2 in the quarters.
However, it was a different story as both sides were evenly matched. As LLRC FT was heading for a victory, Sahrul Azni of LLRC FT fouled a Perkasa player inside the edge of the penalty box. Up step Md Ya’akup of Perkasa who smashed in the equaliser to make it 4-4.
Saifunny of Perkasa was probably my Man of the Match after his outstanding performance in midfield. He scored a hat trick, two from freekicks and he also controlled the tempo of the game. Safuan of LLRC FT scored the goal of the game as he dribble from the halfway line, beating the offside trap and he slotted the ball for his second goal. Md Azri also scored two goals for LLRC FT.
Final score: LLRC FT 4 Perkasa 4
