Friendly Match: Team Cikgu 1-2 CABJ - Report


The Gliders opened their first match after Aidilfitri with a 2-1 win over Team Cikgu, a group of teachers from Klang.

The first half of the game was helter-skelter as both teams struggled to find their rhythm after almost a month of absence from the field. 

Nonetheless, the Gliders were able to find openings when Azrul Raimie Razi managed to make couple of shots but these shot were all thwarted and could not be converted into goals. Ungku Nazrin also attempted a long range shot was again denied by Lady Luck.

The tables turned for CABJ during the second half when they managed to score the opening goal from a free kick. The free kick was converted into a goal when Raimie's cross managed to lure the goal keeper out of his position. Taking advantage of this, Adi Wahyudi receive the cross with a header to the net.

Team Cikgu equalised when the Gliders defence was not able to deflect their shot at goal. Throughout the remainder of the second half, CABJ lack of cohesiveness failed to give them the advantage over Team Cikgu.

Bukit Jelutong's true form finally emerged during the third half of the game. A more coordinated gameplay was evinced by the Gliders control of the game this period. 

Even so, CABJ never did to convert any of their attempts at goal during the early minutes.  With the Gliders controlling the game, it was all Team Cikgu could do to defend their goal. 

CABJ was finally rewarded when Ameer Aizat outran the defender and ended it with a shot that was deflected the goalkeeper. The deflected ball met Zurin Adra's foot and taking advantage of this, he scored the winning goal for Bukit Jelutong.
