It was a bitter pill to swallow for the team as they were the better side especially in the first half and skipper Razlan Joey should have scored two but instead he missed the target.Cebagoo started the match without top scorer Jufrey Omopor but his replacement Roy Rompingon was equal to the task as his nippy runs created several chances for fellow teammates.However, his contribution did not go unnoticed by the opponents. He was fouled a number of times and subsequently limped off just before half time due to the rough treatment.
