CABJ suffered their first defeat to TAFC during their opening game in the Planet Football Pre-Season Invitational League 2011. The Gliders conceded two goals but a late goal denied TAFC their clean sheet.
The first goal came early in the first half after TAFC was awarded a penalty when the forward was brought down by M Akif Sharifuddin in the penalty box. The forward managed to convert his penalty to a goal when it deflected from the outstretched hand of Zaid Zainal.
In trying to equalise the game, CABJ managed to control the pace of the game but Lady Luck was not smiling down on CABJ that day.
The second half proved to be another disastrous venture for CABJ when TAFC scored their second goal. An injury sustained by Zaid Zainal early in the second half gave TAFC their opportunity when he could not catch a crossed ball kicked from the corner. The ball found its mark who later gave it and easy tap to the back of the net.
With two goals down, the Gliders finally gave it their all at the closing minutes. Their effort was duly paid when Johan Arif Josmin's half volley scored CABJ's only goal minutes before the final whistle was blown.
