The opening day of the inaugural F&N Magnolia Cup Under-12 tournament got off to an explosive start at the SK Bandar Baru Field here today in Kuala Selangor.
In the very first two matches played simultaneously early this morning, SK Ulu Yam Bharu edged SK Cochrane 1-0 as SK Semenyih drew SK Putrajaya Presint 9 (2) 2-2.
But it was SK Putrajaya Presint 15 (1) that would steal the limelight with their organised performance that saw them picking up two wins from two matches played in Group B.
SK Putrajaya Presint 15 (1) – the runners-up at the last District Sports Council competition – had started their campaign in the morning by beating SK Binjai Jaya 1-0 with the only goal coming off Ku Qasyaf Syazani Ku Mohd Syahfiq in the tenth minute.
They then outplayed SK Bukit Naga in the second game in the afternoon, with Dhia Ziqri Azka Azlin the hero, who nailed the winner early in the seventh minute.
“There’s a definite improvement from their last competitive match. I’m just happy that we picked up the two wins from their first two matches in the group,” said SK Putrajaya Presint 15 (1) head coach Muhammad Yazid Abdul Karim.
“The defensive positioning was there and the attacking flair was quite good. But it would be great if we could have scored more goals.
“With a place in the quarterfinals guaranteed, I’m looking forward to finishing the group stage tomorrow morning well.”
