Finishing was the main problem for the home team. They had numerous chances to score but their attempts were either off target or too close to the keeper that allowed him an easy save.Team manager Yassin Aman admitted the team needs to improve on their scoring instinct."I was a little disappointed with the slim win. I had expected more goals in this match as we were playing a bottom team but unfortunately the players were unable to find the net apart from the goal from Arius."We need to improve in that department but overall I must say I am happy with the three points we earned today and that we remained at the top of the table standing," he said after the match.
