With very little players’ turnout, CABJ have to fully utilize all the players that were available for the game against Kingstay. The game had a slight delay as the entry point to Setia Alam was blocked by a trailer, that caused the road to be congested. Also, the weather was indeed nice for a football game.
Moving on to the first half of the match, CABJ controlled the game with great short passes and created many chances of attack. Few of the attacks were easily handled by Kingstay’s defence. A quick counter attack from Kingstay made CABJ concede very early in the match. Kingstay keep on defending and they created another counter attack that resulted to another goal. CABJ winning streaks looked to be in jeopardy.
Losing two goals in the first half, CABJ must do something to turn up the scoreline in their favour. Every CABJ players keep their heads on the game to make sure that they win this game. After awhile, Affendi’s throw in found Azrul Raimie who dribbled passed few Kingstay’s defenders but was ended with Kingstay’s last man tackled him in the box which gave CABJ the penalty. This is the turning point for CABJ which started off the goal scoring galore. Ruffie stepped up and took the penalty superbly which passed through the goalkeeper with a very powerful shot. First half ended with a scoreline 2-1.
Second half commenced, few minutes after that, Imran's long ball found Affendi on the right side of the wing. Affendi dribble passed Kingstay’s left back and set an easy tap in for Rashyad. 2-2, Rashyad scored the equalizer which improved the team's confidence to continue to attack. Third goal didn’t came long, as Azrul Raimie got his reward after he helped the team to revive. Ball from Fazreen Aziz to Rashyad was beautifully taken. Rashyad dribbled passed Kingstay’s right back and cross it to Azrul Raimie who then again, easily tap in passed the goalkeeper. 3-2 to CABJ.
CABJ’s midfielders done excellently in the middle of the park to cut off Kingstay’s attack and provide through balls to the attackers. After that, Azrul Raimie yet again provided a superb cross from the right flank to Ruffie for a simple tap in.
Final score, 4-2. Excellent team display and mental strength shown by CABJ that ensured they stay on top of the table with 9 points from 3 games. Looking forward for the next game against our neighbour, TTDI Jaya FC.
