Rhinos confident of victory in return leg

Kota Kinabalu: Rhinos' Team Manager Rahman Zakaria said his boys are all set and ready to take on Kuala Lumpur in their return-leg FA Cup match at Likas Stadium here, tonight (Tuesday).

He said the players have spent the last few days training and preparing for the return leg and that a win should be in store as playing on home soil gives them a natural advantage over the visiting KL team.

"The players are ready for the clash. They've prepared well for this match and are all ready. They would be playing in front of home supporters so they have nothing to fear," said Rahman.

Rahman believes that his squad of young talents and several experienced players would likely be the eventual victors as the Rhinos are coming into the game with an away goal advantage, needing only a goalless draw to advance to the next round.

Nonetheless, Rahman is taking nothing for granted and has urged his squad to go all out for the win.

"A one-all draw in last week's first leg match has given us an away goal advantage. If it ends in a goalless draw, we will go through. If it is a repeat of last week's score, we will play extra time. But I've told the boys to go all out for the win and that is what we hope to achieve," he said.

When asked for his thoughts on last week's game, Rahman said, "the referee robbed us".

He said the referee failed to show equal leniency when he showed the yellow card to four Rhino players but then kept it hidden when the home players committed bookable offences.

"I can understand how my players must have felt. It's not easy to play when you encounter a referee like that. It affected our momentum for the game.

We probably would have done better," said Rahman.

He knows that what happened in KL had affected his players' morale but hopes they would forget the incident and focus purely on tonight's match.

Rahman hopes the home supporters would turn up for the fixture to cheer the Rhinos, as home support is crucial for any team.

"We have a great chance to advance given the away goal that we have and the confidence the players would have playing at home.

"I hope the supporters would come and watch the match and cheer us on.

They are a very important factor to the team."

Second round target

KOTA KINABALU: Coach Wathiq Naji Jasim is expected to make tactical changes as he plots to show Kuala Lumpur the exit in the second leg of the first round of the FA Cup competition.

The Iraqi is confident with the right approach they will be able to humble their opponents who scored a late equaliser in the first leg encounter that ended in a one-all draw.

But for the return leg at the Likas Stadium tonight, the Rhinos head coach is not willing to give the visitors any room to gain any advantage for the remaining 90 minutes.

In the first leg, they were seconds away from victory after a 46th minute strike from Azrul Ejati Damsah put them into the lead.

However, Azwan Malek denied them the victory with a pile-driver shot from about 30 metres deep in injury time.

Tonight, Wathiq is likely to introduce lanky defender Henry Parsi and flanker Mohd Farid Saibun for the first time this season.

Zainizam Marjan and Gasili Pangalot are likely to make way for the duo as Azrul once again is expected to start from the bench.

And Wathiq seems to have picked the right man at least in the case of Henry Parsi, who has vowed to nail his place in the first team.

“I will not want to waste this opportunity. I will try and do my best to make an impression,” said the Sipitang-born defender.

However, Henry, who had a short stint with the national Under-23 side and was part of the side that went for the friendly game in Slovakia sometime last year, may not play in his favoruite position at right back.

Henry, 23, is likely to play the defensive role in midfield alongside Rezuan Khan Aman.

In the absence of team captain Zainizam Marjan, Wong Sai Kong is set to skipper the side that has the simplest of tasks in cruising into the second round.

A scoreless draw would see them through based on the away goal ruling while a one-all draw will see the match go into extra time. A draw with a bigger scoreline will show Kuala Lumpur the way into the next round.

Glancing at Henry’s playing background he made his Sabah debut with the Under-19 squad before jumping ship and playing for Labuan Reserve League the following year.

However in 2005, he made a return to Sabah and played for the Reserve League side before gaining entry into the senior side in 2006 together with his youngster sibling Hardy Charles Parsi, who is now a regular face at the Rhinos’ backline.

And like Henry, Hardy, 21, is also vowing to keep his place in the first team.

“I just want to play week in and week out. I just love playing and I’m willing to work hard for it,” Hardy said.

Like his elder sibling Henry, Hardy also had a stint with the national side. He was part of the national Under-20 squad.

He has the experience of playing against the Manchester United Under-19 squad that Malaysia beat in a friendly about a year ago.

However, injury denied Hardy of making the final squad.

“That was my most memorable memory thus far in my career. I was then in the first team,” he said of the friendly game against Manchester United Under-19 squad.

Tonight, the two siblings are ready to fight until the end and help Sabah book a place in the second round.

Goalkeeper Harold John is also expected to start the game as first choice custodian Irwan Jamil is down with a groin injury.

Wong, Mohd Fariss Azlan Mat Isa, Mafry Balang, Selyvister Saini, Billyton Vun Ket Ming and Alto Linus are all set to feature in the first team squad.

Advantage Rhinos

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah now hold a slight advantage of making it into the next round in the FA Cup competition after holding Kuala Lumpur to a one-all draw in the first leg of the first round encounter at the Kuala Lumpur Football Association Stadium in Cheras on Saturday.

The homeground advantage and the away goal rule indeed make them the favourites to march on.

The second leg will take place at the Likas Stadium on February 3.

Team manager Rahman Zakaria is also optimistic that his charges can claim the second round ticket on Tuesday.

On Saturday, Sabah, the 1995 FA Cup winners, were only seconds away from victory before Azwan Malek scored the equaliser for Kuala Lumpur deep inside injury time.

Flanker Azrul Ejati Damsah(pictured) broke the deadlock in the first minute of the second half after picking up a pass from striker Zainizam Marjan.

He dribbled past a defender before finding the back of the net with a cool strike.

Rahman was not too pleased with Kuala Lumpur’s late equaliser by claiming it had exceeded the added time.

He went on to say that the referee should have blown the final whistle when the added time was up.

He was also unhappy with the way the referee handled the match, especially after seeing four of his players yellow carded while not even one Kuala Lumpur was booked.

“The action from the referee affected the momentum of our players.

“Although I am a bit disappointed for not being able to win despite the fact that we were so close to victory, but then again we scored and have the away goal advantage.

“The way I see it we have the chance to progress … the opportunity is there for us in the next game,” said Rahman.

In the game, Sabah also lost first-choice custodian Irwan Jamil who suffered a groin injury.

The youngster was replaced by Harold John at the start of the second half.

But overall, Rahman said: “The players played alright. We need to improve on our combination and understanding in midfield though.”

“Kuala Lumpur dominated the area but the players worked hard … we will be ready for the return leg,” he added

Meanwhile, four teams are almost certain of making it to the second round with Sarawak leading the pack after thrashing the Armed Forces 6-1, Kelantan edged Johor 4-0, Perlis blanked Johor MBJB 4-0, while Perak beat SDM Kepala Batas 4-1.

The other first leg results saw UPB MyTeam win 2-1 against Proton FC, Felda United beat Police 2-1, T-Team won 1-0 against Shahzan Muda, Penang won 1-0 over Johor FC, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka drew 0-0 and Pahang held Selangor PKNS 1-1.

Four other teams Kedah, Selangor, Terengganu and Kuala Muda Naza received a first round bye.
