Sairol's heroic performance brings DPMM FC back on top of the S.League after his double beat Gombak United who lost their first game of the season at their own home turf. Based on the highlights, Gombak United deserved at least a point but Wardun was solid in goal.
DPMM FC coach Simunic - “We were lucky to win,” said the Croatian. Gombak are the best team we faced so far and posed a difficulty with their tall players. I had wanted a point but got three. Each and every point is crucial for our [top five] target regardless of spirit, non-stop running and men behind the ball. The players would be happy reaching the summit.”
Gombak United coach Darren Stewart - "We battled on and created a few opportunities but kudos to DPMM who are a good outfit. Though we conceded two set pieces there was nothing much Fadhil could do to save them. Otherwise there had been nothing negative to speak of. We shall be gracious in defeat and not dwell on it; I’d rather take the bad points in our stride, focus on getting over it and regroup for our next match.”
