1st April: Midfielder Gnal was Kroniz's unlikely saviour as he curled home a beautiful top corned winner to ignite his side's survival battle in their friendly games at PTEK field.
The 1980's under 16th Piasau Garden Belait champion player has found the net only once this year but the importance of his latest strike could not be underestimated.
His side appeared to have been frustrated in their bid for victory despite the visitors throwing everything in the latter stages of the second half after Pg Eddy had equalised Unisa fc opener in the 25th minute.
But when the impressive Gnal challanged Unisa defender to rolled the ball back from the byline the midfielder switched it on to his stronger left foot before smashing a curled shot past Unisa goalkeeper.
Whether this latest effort will be enough to keep Kroniz in the top flight against younger opponents remains to be seen but it lifted the sprit of the team.
More importantly, it will boost the confidence for Kroniz keep on fighting before retirement at aged 60.
More often than not Kroniz had no cause for complaint when they took the lead after just 15 minutes.
Matusin's flick-on appeared to catch three Unisa players in a day dreaming position on the edge of the Unisa penalty area, Pg Eddy reacted quickest to shoot past Unisa keeper for the first goal.
Apart from few' early shot Unisa had not threatened but out of the blue their winger broke free on the left to equalised in the 25th minute.
In the 35 minutes Gnal had the ball in the net after looping a shot over Unisa keeper although he was challenged on the edge of the area for kroniz second goal.
In the 40th minutes, Kroniz was awarded a penalty after Metusin was tackled in the penalty box and Bab gratefully took the responsibility but he could only banished the ball well off target.
In the first half the game ended 2-1 to Kroniz.
As expected the match opened up after the break, with Unisa pounding at kroniz's defence but they stood their ground.
Both team could killed off the game but to no avail. The game ended with Kroniz FC 2 -UNISA FC 1.
