5th Feb: It was not exactly the “pass-and-move” brand of football Kroniz players have been extolling, but Kroniz FC produced enough panache in their performance to win today's game .
That came after a comprehensive 3-0 win over Jabatan Pengangkutan Darat (JPD) at Maktab Duli Field this afternoon..
The scoreline was harsh on the JPD side, who had created enough chances to even win the game themselves, but their profligacy in front of goal meant that Kroniz FC eventually finished comfortable winners.
Kroniz got off to a dream start, with the opener after just fifteen minutes. It was Aliuddin sending a beautifully floated corner kick cross to the far post and Shafie could not have been any happier waiting and getting the finish right despite the best efforts from JPD keeper. Shafie was clearly in the mood on the day, and ten minutes later his effort hit the goal post.
Five minutes later Shafie bore down on goal but took too long to shoot, and when he finally did, he saw his effort blocked by JPD leftback. The ball fell to Azreen, and the striker saw his scooter kick shot into the net for a 2-nil lead.
Five minutes before half-time, Sulaiman, who had a sparkling game in defence for Kronizs, sent a left-footed effort in the penalty area with three JPD player trying to stop him however his determination to score a goal curled into the right-hand upright, and Kroniz entered the break looking fairly comfortable with 3-0.
The second half proved to be a cagey affair, with neither side creating any real clear goal scoring chances.
Kroniz Asst.manager Pg Ariffin was happy with the win, but was aware of the areas where his team had to improve.
“It was a tough game, actually,” reflected the 40-year-old.
"He further said he felt his team’s play was still “not fluid enough” and that there was “still a lot of room for improvement”.
