Business as usual for DPMM FC. It was another straight forward game for DPMM FC but they struggled at times to break the defence of Balestier Khalsa who are at the foot of the S.League table. DPMM FC scored early through Shahrazen Said through a corner kick while Rene Komar scored in the final minute to put the game beyond doubt.
It wasn't much of a fight really. Even at times when Balestier had possession, DPMM FC's goal was hardly threatened. I would say that last night's performance by DPMM FC was slightly off tone but they managed to get all three points. Simunic was a relief man after the match.
"I expect a very tough game. We were suffering until the second goal came. It was a good game but it wasn't easy. All the games we played at home have been very tough - Sengkang, Woodlands, SAF FC."
"It's a pity Hamid won't be playing in the next game because of four yellow cards. I hope we will be able to get more points away from home."
The result positioned DPMM FC back to third place and in contention for the top spot while Balestier Khalsa are still lavishing at the foot of the table.
