BANK SIMPANAN 5
KUALA LANGAT 4
BANK Simpanan Nasional (BSN) barely edged Kuala Langat in this Malaysia
Hockey League quarterfinal clash at the Bukit Jalil Hockey Stadium
yesterday.
Mohamed Kamaruzaman scored in the seventh minute of play when he
dribbled past five players and sounded the board in this exciting and
bruising encounter.
But the early goal was not enough to break a fighting Kuala Langat and
off an immediate counterattack, Razali Razman received a pass from St.
John Davies and hammered home the equaliser.
Kuala Langat controlled the first half but BSN, who won 8-0 in the
preliminaries took their chances well.
In the 17th minute, BSN received their first penalty corner and Sarjit
made a pass to Brian Jayhan Siva who pushed to K. Dharmaraj to grab the
lead again.
Kuala Langat kept up the pressure and were rewarded again the the 20th
minute when M. Jayamaran's weak shot from the sideline bounced past three
BSN players to make the score 2-2.
And in the 27th minute, Kuala Langat shocked BSN when M. Jayamaran made
a pass to the top of the semicircle to Razali Razman. Razali then pushed
to St John for a 3-2 lead.
BSN received their second penalty corner in the 30th minute and Zam Zam
Ali hammered home a rebound to equalise again.
Three minutes after the breather Brian Jayhan Siva put the bankers ahead
and the goal seemed to demoralise Kuala Langat.
BSN were again rewarded for their persistance and Dharmaraj scored his
second and BSN's fifth in the 47th minute.
With nine minutes left on the clock, Kuala Langat received their first
penalty corner and S. Devaraj flicked in to reduce the deficit to a goal
with the return leg tomorrow expected to be an explosive one.
