Thumbs up to our very own Goalkeepeer Zaid Zainal for an outstanding save and also other scorers which includes Khaliq Raof whom showed no fear to take the penalty shoot out again after failing to score during an opportunity earlier from a foul by Melawati 87. His shoot during the penalty shootout was attested by his confidence and fearless attitude that brought CABJ to earn points and led to a victorious end.
Well done CABJ, they are now qualified to the quarterfinals against PJ Cops on new years eve this coming 31st December 2011.
