UNIKL Young Guns overcame an initial scare to beat Bukit Jaill Sports School 6-1 in Division One of the NSC-Milo-Junior Hockey League at the National Stadium yesterday,
The score stood at 1-1 by the 22nd minute, before a concerted effort saw the double silver medallists power ahead for their second win of the season.
“My players failed to settle early in the match, but once they did, the goals came our way for another crucial win,” said UniKL coach K. Embaraj.
UniKL took the lead off Syafiq Zulzairin in the 12minute, but BJSS equalised off Abdul Khaliq in the 22nd minute.
However, BJSS lost steam after that and the other UniKL goals were scored by Syafiq (35th, 68th), Meor Mohamed (38th), Ashran Hamsani (48th) and Fitri Ismail (67th).
UniKL next play Petaling Jaya City Council on Saturday.
In Division Two, Group B, Datuk Taha consolidated their grip on the top of the standings on 10 points with a 3-0 win over Tengku Besar Secondary School of Tampin.
An own goal by TBSS’ Adhwa Jalil at the half-time break gave Datuk Taha the edge, and Mahathir Rathuwan’s brace in the 37th and 41st gave Taha the full points
