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.
