LIGA MUNRO SETIA ALAM 2015: CABJ vs Platinum Blastz

             

Final score: CABJ 2 - 0 Platinum Blastz

Goalscorer: 1. Rashyad (Ikram Al-Rasyid)

                    2. Khairul (Azrul Raimie)

Man of the Match: Ameer Aizat

Matchweek 5 of Munro League 2015 witnessed a match between CABJ v Platinum Blastz. The match was held at New Camp, Bukit Damansara on Saturday, 9^th May. Kick off time was 6:00 p.m.

Referring to our last match, CABJ was trying their best to gather back all of the injured players. Nonetheless, CABJ continued the match with few players missing. One of them was Affendi due to 2 matches banned after receiving a straight red card for the game against Sri Kenangan last time. Ahmed the striker was missing as well due to personal issue and also their tall figure at the back, Akif Sharif because of work duty. Apart from that, CABJ are welcoming back Dzul Rahim and Adly Saifullah from injuries.

First half of the match, both teams showed their full desire to win the match and seem to show great potential in their attacking play. Creating many scoring opportunities but most of them just gone bagging. After 10 minutes of the game, a changed side play by Azrul Raimie found Ikram Al-Rashid who then flicked the ball to Rashyad on the left side of the pitch. Rashyad did a simple cut in into the center and finished off with a knuckle shot just outside the box. The ball went straight into the net. Superb strike by CABJ's promising young talent. After the goal, CABJ looked to be more compose as well as controlling the game very well. Distributing the ball around and causing problems to the opponent. Another key factor for CABJ’s successful defending was the presence of Syamsul Hezri, who was returning back to the squad after being away for quite some time. Syamsul’s successful tackles helped CABJ to keep their clean sheet during first half.

Second half of the match saw CABJ kept on doing the same gameplay as first half. Containing the attack and getting ready for the counter. All of CABJ players were discipline and followed their role given by manager, Amin Helmy. CABJ managed to cut off all of Platinum Blastz’ attack and kept a clean sheet. Few minutes before the match ended, Mohd Khairil scored CABJ’s second goal. A cross from Azrul Raimie managed to deceived Platinum Blastz’ goalkeeper and defenders. Khairil scored a simple tap in after the opponent’s side-back was hit by his own goalkeeper. Also, not to forget the brilliance of Ameer Aizat playing at wing-back role. He defended very well to cut off opponent’s attack and helping out the attacking side. He almost scored a goal but unfortunately the ball went off target.

Match ended 2-0 to CABJ. A great win after two straight defeats. CABJ are looking to go back into winning form and getting solid 3 points to remain in the top half of Munro League table. CABJ will be facing Nossa on Matchweek 6. The game will be held on Saturday 16^th May at Setia Alam Football Field at 3:30 p.m. 

LIGA MUNRO SETIA ALAM 2015: CABJ vs Seri Kenangan

Final score: CABJ 1 - 2 Seri Kenangan

Scorer: Ruffie (penalty)

CABJ's third game in the league was against Sri Kenangan. A team that we are familiar with who were formerly known as Lantun FC.  

The match was played on a beautiful Sunday evening at 3.30pm. Usually the weather during this time is hot and dry and it's quite hard for players to last the full 70 minutes in a game. Luckily, the weather was absolutely great with clear blue skies. 

During the first half of the match, and with only 2 substitutes, CABJ started the half with a lot of confidence by distributing the ball causing problems for our opponents. First clear opportunity was presented to Affendi Amir, who shot the ball but went agonisingly wide. The opening goal of the match came against the run of play when CABJ didn’t managed to stop the opponents running man who then beat the offside-trap and Sri Kenangan drew first blood.

Nonetheless, CABJ managed to score the equalizer as Azrul Raimie's great run on the right, beating their defense line but was stopped by a harsh tackle from their left back inside the penalty box. A penalty was awarded and Ruffie duly converted the equalising spotkick perfectly just before the stroke of halftime.

CABJ were looking to get an early goal. Attack after attack, CABJ attackers went all-out but the Sri Kenangan back line defended well. Against the run of play again that caught our defenders off-guard a Sri Kenangan striker managed to get into the swix-yard box but was brought down by Syed Sharil. The penalty was converted.

CABJ were left forcing to trail the game again. Many opportunities arose but CABJ couldn’t turn them into goals. Late in the game, Affendi Amir was shown a red card for a 50/50 tackle on Sri Kenangan player. Affendi will miss two games as a result.

Match ended 2-1 in favour to Sri Kenangan. Two consecutive defeats left us with only 3 points from 3 games played. We are looking forward to notching our first competitive victory against next opponent’s Platinum Blastz. 

LIGA MUNRO SETIA ALAM 2015: CABJ vs Southern FC

Final score: CABJ 1 - 3 Southern FC

Scorer: Affendi Amir - assisted by Azrul Raimie

                The most anticipated match for LIGA MUNRO SETIA ALAM 2015 was between Southern FC vs Club Atletico de Bukit Jelutong. Most of the participants of this league said it would be a very tough encounter. Even the other teams which didn't participate know that the match would be very tense and nervy occasion. Statistically, based on previous meetings Southern FC seem to look as the favorites for this clash as CABJ being the first ever Munro League Champions in their debut season had suffered 2 back-to-back defeats to Southern FC.

                The match that was held at Setia Alam on a lovely Sunday evening, weather was absolutely fantastic for some fast flowing football. Nevertheless, both teams couldn't play their usual speedy brand of football because of some heavy downpour. Only those die hard fans stayed until the end of the game and we would like to give a million thanks to all of them for being very supportive.

                From previous meetings, we've learned that Southern's tactical game play was to sit back and hit us on the counter. They demonstrated just that during the first half of the game in this encounter. Although CABJ were the more dominative side in the first half before the heavy down pour, they could only get a breakthrough which did not count in the end as Ahmed was in an off-side position from an Ameer Aizat's pass. Southern defended really well and got the breakthrough just before halftime. Their goal came through when Jeremy led pass two defenders and crossed the ball into CABJ's penalty box which was unluckily converted by Azreen into his own goal.  Goalkeeper Ajmal was furious at the shaky defending displayed by his defenders.

                Manager Amin made a few changes by bringing in Affendi Amir, Dzul Rahim, Raizo and Khairil Azhar. In the second half, to add  more sting to the CABJ attack in their desperation for an equalizer and it payed off as the equalizer came when Azrul Raimie placed a brilliant through pass which found Affendi Amir which then burst pass 2 defenders to slot the awaited equalizer sending the small pack of crowd into a frenzy. In trying to restore the lead CABJ were unlucky again as they were hit on the counter and Southern benefitted by getting a penalty as their forward was brought down in the penalty box. Penalty well struck, Southern lead 2 - 1. Again chasing the game CABJ with a no die attitude but again unlucky as it was not their day. Southern would ruin any chances of a CABJ comeback as their fast winger dribbled the backline and slotted home the icing on the cake for Southern FC.

                Final score, 3-1 to Southern FC. With the defeat, CABJ will be facing Sri Kenangan FC at Setia Alam this Sunday 26^th April at 3:30 p.m in their next match. This time around we won’t make silly mistakes and hope to be luckier as we will be pushing all out for the 3 points which would keep us on track to be El Campeone :)

SETIA ALAM CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2014: CABJ vs FTC Southern

Final Score: CABJ 3 - 5 FTC Southern

Scorer: 1. Own Goal (Assist by Ameer Aizat)

            2. Khairol (Assist by Affendi)

            3. Affendi (Assist by Azrul Raimie)

MOTM: 1. Ameer Aizat

We are up against FTC Southern, one of the tough teams to beat as CABJ is looking to continue the winning streak in SACL. FTC Southern was Munro Cup and League champion for the 2014 season. CABJ last lost a match against FTC Southern was in the semi-final of Munro Cup. 2-1 was the final score and Southern continued to win the cup. It is a great team, 2 Cups and 1 League champion was enough to prove that they are a worthy and serious contender.

On to the match, the first half started off with both teams eager to score an early goal so that the team gets control of the game. Possession in the early half was fairly 50/50 but the first goal came from Ameer Aizat’s cross and was tapped into the net by Southern’s own defender. An own goal by FTC Southern that gave CABJ the lead. Southern didn't wait long as they get the equalizer 5 minutes after the own goal. A simple tap in as CABJ’s left back couldn’t stop Southern right winger to cross a low ball which was easily tapped in into the net. CABJ made a few changes as they brought in Affendi to play on the right wing. CABJ's second goal came from a long pass from Ruffie, that found Affendi near the penalty box who then passed the ball to Khairol who unleashed an unstoppable shot just outside the penalty box. Southern’s goalkeeper couldn’t do nothing to stop that shot which went straight into the net. First half finished with CABJ leads by 2 goals to 1.

Second half was vital as both teams were aiming for maximum points. Early in the second half, Southern was awarded a penalty after Fizal handled the ball inside the penalty box. His claimed of being pushed by Southern striker was ignored by the referee and Southern converted the penalty perfectly. Power and placing, no chance for CABJ’s goalkeeper Wan Ajmal to stop the shot. The score was 2-2 and CABJ are struggling to get back to their form. Not long after that, Southern got their third goal after they attacked from CABJ's left side and scored another tap in. Southern were in the lead by 3-2. 

CABJ were shocked after letting the 2 goals easily. CABJ then pressed up high to pressure the opponent and to get their goal. The substitution of Rashyad played a big role in CABJ’s third goal. Rashyad quickly made an impact on the right side of the pitch to beat Southern's left back and crossed the ball straight to Azrul Raimie, who then shot the ball wide off the goal and only to discover that Affendi on the far post was the first to react to tap the ball into the net. Another equalizer in the game. CABJ’s pressing game and high defensive line proved to be their downfall as Southern noticed that opportunity and they did a long pass from behind. Southern did it twice and both were rewarded with goals.

The match ended with a 5-3 scoreline. After the defeat, CABJ will look to improve on their game and win the next match. Not a good start for the 2015 calendar but CABJ will definitely bounce back like they always do. A Special mention to Ameer Aizat as he performed brilliantly on his assigned position at right back. Even though he doesn't like to play at the back, he did very well to repel Southern's attack on the right side. Stay tuned for more. 

SETIA ALAM CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2014: CABJ vs Subang FC

Final score: CABJ 2 - 1 Subang FC

Goalscorer: 1. Akif (assist by Dzul)

                   2. Ikram (assist by Akif)

MOTM: 1. Akif

              2. Dzul

CABJ's match against Subang FC is a much anticipated match this week. Both teams look to get 3 points to advance in the Setia Alam Champions League. 3 points means, the team will get the top 4 spot in order to advance to the next round.

Sunday afternoon in Setia Alam was fairly good as the rain stopped just before the match started. Heavy rain before the match had caused the pitch to cover with mud and water. Wet pitch and bad condition of the field doesn't stop CABJ’s spirit to collect 3 points.

First half of the match, CABJ controlled the game perfectly. We passed the ball around and waiting for the right moment to get through Subang FC’s defenders. Besides the possession, all of Subang FC’s attacks were superbly defended by our defensive backline. First goal didn't come that late as Akif scored a tap in in front of the goal. After an unsuccessful corner kick, the ball was perfectly presented to Dzul Rahim’s feet as he volleyed the ball that went straight to Akif to tap in the first goal. Keeper had no chance to stop his shot. CABJ kept the game going and maintained the same momentum. CABJ's second goal were rewarded not long after the first goal as a long pass from Akif met Ikram to brilliantly place the ball at the lower left goal. Subang FC’s goalkeeper came out early to block Ikram but he managed to beat the goalkeeper with his blistering pace and a very cool finish.

Second half of the match commenced, with both teams continued attacking from end to end respectively. With the wet pitch and both teams going all out, flying tackles coming in. It’s dangerous for players who didn't wear their protection gear like shin pad as they might get injured with all this tackles flying in. Luckily, no serious injuries occurred. It’s becoming more of a tense game as both teams run out of steam. Subang FC managed to get a goal after a mistake from our defenders to let Subang FC winger to run freely and scored the goal.  All in all CABJ defenders did brilliantly to overcome Subang FC’s attacks.

The match ended with a win to CABJ. 2-1 the final score. Both teams showed great sportsmanship spirit as what has happened on the pitch stays on the pitch. Superb display by the boys as everyone did excellently to overcome Subang FC’s attacking. Next game is against FTC Southern. 

SETIA ALAM CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2014: CABJ vs Terrapins FC

Final Score: CABJ 1 - 1 Terrapins FC

Scorer: Dzul Rahim (Free kick)

MOTM: 1. Dzul Rahim

              2. Ahmed Barakat

After collecting 3 straight wins from 3 games, CABJ are up against Terrapins FC who managed to get 2 wins and a draw. Terrapins FC is in the second position in the Group B table. They managed to beat our league and FA Cup champion, Southern FC with a 4-1 scoreline. This shows that Terrapins FC is indeed a very strong team.

Sunday afternoon in Setia Alam was tremendous. The weather was nice and the field was in superb condition. The atmosphere at Setia Alam was great as everyone want to watch it live, the clash of the titans if it were to be called. CABJ vs Terrapins FC managed to entertain everyone in Setia Alam.

First half of the match, there’s a slight change in the formation as few players can’t make it on time and so our manager, Amin Helmy had to rearrange the formation. Few players got to play different role as to cover up the players that didn’t managed to be on time. With this issue solved, we witnessed a slight bad display. Somehow the performance affected the scoreline as Terrapins FC took full advantage and scored the opening goal. The goal was an error made by CABJ's no. 4 Imran Mazli, by setting the ball to the opponent right in front of the goal who then unleashed a powerful shot into the top of the net. Nothing that Ahmed (Ajmal replacement) can do about it. We were trailing a goal to nil in the first half. 

On to second half, Terrapins FC kept on controlling the possession with their fluid passes. However, later on CABJ showed a better game-play as they managed to find their rhythm. Few attempts helped us to get our equalizer. The goal came from Ameer Aizat as he managed to control the ball that he received, he then dribbled pass the defenders and won a freekick at the edge of opponent’s penalty box. Dzul Rahim unleashed a fierce freekick with power and accuracy into the top of the net. Terrapins FC’s goalkeeper stood still as there’s no way he can stop that powerful shot. After the equalizer, the game changed to end-to-end attack on both teams. Both teams had few clear chances but didn’t managed to score.

The match ended with a draw of 1-1 scoreline. Even with insufficient players, CABJ managed to get a draw from their nearest opponent in the standing. Kudos to Ahmed Barakat as the replacement keeper for keeping the opponent's attack on bay with some stringent saves to prevent the team from loosing. Also to our scorer Dzul Rahim as he scored the equalizer. Looking forward to our next game which is against My ManUtd, which of course is another tough opponent. 

SETIA ALAM CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2014: CABJ vs Kingstay FC

Final score: CABJ 4 - 2 Kingstay

scorer:
1. Ruffie (Penalty)
2. Rashyad (assisted by Affendi)
3. Azrul Raimie (assisted by Rashyad)
4. Ruffie (assisted by Azrul Raimie)

CABJ collected 6 solid points for SACL 2014. 2 wins with 0 goal conceded. Looking to continue our winning streak against Kingstay FC. Kingstay FC is a new club formed by the players that formerly played for Padang Bulat. CABJ continued the winning way and collected yet another valuable 3 points for the third game in SACL.

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.

SETIA ALAM CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2014: CABJ vs Cranc FC

Final Score:
CABJ 3-0 Cranc FC

Scorer: Raizo, Raimie (2)
Assist: Raimie, Ikram, Ameer Aizat

This was the second game for CABJ in the SACL league. It was a perfect start for CABJ as they managed beat Cranc FC by 3 goals to nil. Also kudos to CABJ's defence as they were rock solid and didn't concede any goal for two games in a row. 

The pitch was in terrible condition to play due to the rainy season. It was very muddy in most area of the pitch. Nevertheless, game on. CABJ started the first half with keeping the ball possession and attack at the same time. Attack after attack, CABJ drew first blood. The goal came from Raizo as he was in the right spot to slot home the first goal. CABJ leads a goal to nil. 

Second goal was from Azrul Raimie as he received a fine through pass from Ameer Aizat and scored. We were leading two nil in the second half. Later on, the game became more aggressive. The opponent pushed hard for a goal, but CABJ hold their ground in defense. 

As the game continues, CABJ managed to counter attack with a superb through ball from Ikram that found Azrul Raimie as he scored with a cool finish. Three nil the scoreline. After that, there was only 3 minutes left to play as indicated by the referee. But one of our defenders, Raizo was booked a second yellow card after an exchange of heated conversations between him and the opponent. The sending off shouldn't occurred as it was a silly mistake made by Raizo. 

Nonetheless, job's done and we're looking forward for the next game against Kingstay FC. Hawushh!!

p/s: sorry for the late update. hehe ;)           

SETIA ALAM CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2014: CABJ vs Seven90's

After finishing third place in Munro Cup, CABJ has been awarded to play in Setia Alam Champions League (SACL) despite being third place in Liga Sentral Selangor. Being awarded to play in this big tournament is such a great feeling and CABJ didn’t disappoint with a win in the first match against Seven 90’s. The final score is 2-0 in favour of CABJ with goals came from Akif and Affendi.

            

It was a great weather on Sunday evening. The condition of the pitch isn’t what we expected from the weather. It was bad as there were matches played on Saturday. Despite the bad condition, CABJ managed to control the ball throughout the entire match. After losing on a friendly match against Seven 90’s the week before, CABJ was in a menacing mood to go all out attack.

           

In the first half of the match, both still in good condition which saw attack on both ends. Some moments of scared when Seven 90’s managed to create a counter attack leaving the striker one by one with CABJ’s no 1. The excellent pair of hands of Wan Ajmal saved the day countless times with a great stop. CABJ attacks looked more promising. Chances for Affendi, Azrul Raimie, Ameer Aizat, Ikram Al-Rashid, Imran and Akif all were blocked or slightly off target. First half ended 0-0.

            

Second half commenced, attack after attack, finally Azrul Raimie had been fouled just outside the penalty box. The freekick was perfectly placed at Ahmed Barakat path who headed the ball direct to the goalkeeper, and fortunately the rebound was tapped in by CABJ’s centre back, Akif who scored CABJ’s first goal. After the goal, CABJ continued to control the match with a lot of possession. Not long after that, CABJ get the second goal after Syed Sharil through pass was perfect for Affendi to burst into space who took out Seven 90’s defenders with his pace. A simple tap into the net was clearly enough to secure the second for CABJ.

            

Match ended 2-0. Special mention to CABJ’s two powerhouse, Dzul Rahim and Imran Mazli who did very well in the midfield. Stopping the attack and providing great balls were the key factors on CABJ’s success. Looking forward to CABJ’s second match in SACL. Hawushh!!

MUNRO INVITATIONAL FOOTBALL CUP 2014 (3rd Placing): CABJ vs Real Diva

CABJ VS Real Diva (3rd Place match for Munro Cup 2014)

                After CABJ failed to win their semi-final match against Southern FC, we were set to play against Real Diva who defeated Subang FC in their semi-final match. Real Diva prove to be the ‘Dark Horse’ in this tournament as no one expected them to reach this far. 

                The semi-final match against Real Diva was played at UiTM’s Sport Complex. The weather is nice for a football match since throughout this year end, Malaysia will experience rainy weather. The field was superb. Unlike the one CABJ played at 3K when it’s rain.

                The match kick-off. Both teams played well. Controlling the ball. Passing around but there are no real chances in front of the goal. Late in the first half, Real Diva took their opportunity to score a goal after a scramble in front of CABJ penalty box after a free kick given to them. Unfortunately, CABJ's no 4, Imran Mazli intention to clear the ball was unlucky since the ball flew into the net and beating Wan Ajmal. A superb own goal by our no 4. First half Real Diva lead 1-0.

               

                In the second half, CABJ kept on attacking but Real Diva’s defends was very stubborn and solid as they used experience centre back who controlled firmly the backline. All of the attacks was held by their two experienced centre back. Ungku Nazrin, CABJ striker who played centre midfielder role that day took the opportunity that was given to him after Imran Mazli road to redemption was again blocked. Rebound ball was straight away striked by Ungku Nazrin from long range to beat Real Diva’s goalkeeper. The match ended 1-1 as both teams didn't manage to find the winning goal.

                According to Munro Cup rules, there is no extra time given after a draw. The referee called both captains and told them that penalty kick will decide who wins the 2^nd runner up of Munro Cup.

Unfortunately, Ikram Al-Rashid, CABJ’s captain also missed the first kick. Then the penalty shoot-out come to an end after the referee decided sudden death penalty. Luckily CABJ get to kick the ball and Real Diva need to keep it out the net. Affendi took the last penalty which sealed CABJ as 2^nd runner up of Munro Cup.

Hawushh!!

MUNRO INVITATIONAL FOOTBALL CUP 2014: CABJ vs Southern FC

Result: CABJ 1 - 2 Southern FC

Stats:-
Goal scorer: Ruffie

Venue of the game was at Setia Alam, The game kicked off at 5:30 p.m.

Finally, the long awaited clash between CABJ and Southern has emerged. Southern was among the elite teams that made it through to the Semis, and the winner of this game will definitely go to the Finals. The atmosphere before the game was very tense because both teams needed the win in order to qualify for the Finals. 

Early in the first half, both teams were very cautious in their gameplay as they don't want to make mistakes that can cost them the game. Also, Southern showed no intention to press CABJ as CABJ managed to hold on the ball possession. After a while, the game looked to be more open and both teams started to attack on both ends. But eventually, it was Southern's luck as they broke the deadlock in the midst of half time. The goal came from a corner kick as the ball curled directly into the nearpost unguarded by our defender. The goal was a blunder, as it was the defender's duty to clear the ball but didn't manage to. Southern lead a goal to nil right before half time.  

During the interval, the coach told us to put in more aggression and determination into the game as we were chasing a goal down. Some changes were made and second half continues.

During second half, CABJ put more effort in their attack thus making Southern on their toe whilst defending. Their defensive backline was busy throughout the second half as CABJ looking for the equaliser. Later, we managed to get a penalty and it was converted by Ruffie. 1-1 the scoreline, and CABJ were looking for the winning goal. But again, luck was on Southern's side as they scored the winning goal late in the game that was finished by their target man Chris. Unlucky day for CABJ...

Final scoreline CABJ 1 - 2 Southern FC.
