Sufizal serahkan gelaran juara Piala Sarawak 2010 kepada Kuching

Pemain simpanan Sarawak Sufizal Ismail telah menghampakan pasukan BDR FC dari Samarahan apabila pemain tersebut gagal menyempurnakan dua peluang keemasan untuk meranapkan peluang pasukan lawan Kuching memenangai Piala Sarawak dalam perlawanan akhir yang berlangsung petang tadi.

Keputusan perlawanan masih terikat 0-0 sehinggalah ke separuh masa kedua apabila Macswyzee Riot berjaya mengambil kesempatan dari pergelutan di depan pintu gol untuk meletak Kuching di hadapan.

Walau bagaimanapun kegembiraan Kuching tidak berpanjangan apabila Abang Mohd Zafari Abang Othman berjaya membuat jaringan kira-kira 10 minit selepas itu.

Pada ketika peminat merasakan perlawanan akan berkesudahan dengan jaringan 1-1, Sufizal telah memeranjatkan pemain pertahanan Kuching apabila berjaya membolos kawalan ketat untuk berdepan dengan penjaga gol Awang Mohd Tarmizi.

Malangnya, pemain muda tersebut gagal menyempurnakan peluang apabila bola gagal dihantar kearah kawasan kosong di bahagian pintu gol tetapi terus kepada Awang Mohd.

Zaki Laments Players ‘Bad Habits’

KUCHING: Coach Zaki Sheikh Ahmad is not happy with the Sarawak players repeating their “bad habits” which cost them to pay heavily as they had yet to win after four matches including the last away match to Harimau Muda where they lost 0-1.

The main problem with the team is that they lost patience and discipline by making mistakes which cost them and the team dearly.

The red card awarded to centreback Fadley Kassim with only five minutes remaining in the game was a case in point as the team will lose the key defender for the next two matches due to automatic suspension.

“The players are not patient. They easily lose their concentration and focus even if there are a few minutes left in the game and they should be more patient to hold on to the game.

“Though their weaknesses is failure to convert the chances, they have to keep on trying and play hard. The goals will come if they keep on doing their best,” said Zaki.
