Kuching FA edge JDT II for fourth win in Premier League

KUCHING, Oct 4 — Kuching FA notched their fourth win in the Premier League when they edged Johor Darul Ta’zim II (JDT II) 2-1 at the State Stadium here today.

Kuching FA took a 22^nd-minute lead when Bryan Jones Anicezio scored from the spot after referee Mohd Azriel Baharudin awarded them a penalty when JDT II’s Che Rashid Che Halim fouled Yuki Tanigawa in the box.

JDT II, however, equalised in the 49^th minute through Fernando Rodriquez Ortega.

Then, just one minute after referee Mohd Azriel showed JDT II physical trainer David Agusti Martinez a yellow card for his behaviour on the sidelines in the 56^th minute, Kuching FA made it 2-1 courtesy of a Yuta Suzuki pile-driver.

To compound JDT II’s misery, their hardman Garry Steven Robbat was flashed the yellow card in the 86^th minute for a foul on Kuching FA’s Hudson Dias De Jesus. ­— Bernama
