KUCHING: Despite their 3-0 win against Penang last Saturday night at Sarawak Stadium, the Crocs are still placed last in the current Malaysian League standings.It was the Crocs second win of the season where the “Ngap Sayot” chant was heard from the start of the match. All three goals were scored in the first half of the match where winger Shahrol Saperi, who scored the first goal of the night in the 14th minute, heated up the match with more cheers and chants coming from the spectators.It was game on for the visitors in the 20th minute thanks to Penang’s team’s poor defence line for Zamri Morshidi to score the second goal of Shahrol’s header.The final goal was scored by Sylla Mansa in the 34th minute when fellow import player Nyom Nyom Aloys passed a header to Mansa to demoralised the visitors even more. The match showed a big improvement from the Crocs, with good play by the players and also solid defence as each time Penang tried to go upfront, their crosses and passes were laid to waste by Sarawak defenders.According to team manager Razali Dolhan, the team’s improvement may be due to the presence of the new coach, Kunju Jamaluddin’s right decision making in team play with added advantage given by the import players.He added that the team deserved to win as they were playing on home ground and due to the fact that they have lost in so many matches since the beginning of the league.This is a much-needed win for the team as they need points to secure a good position in the standings and boost the team’s morale.Nevertheless, Razali said their wins has yet to reach a “proud” level as they could have scored more in the second half of the match.Razali added that with the Crocs latest performance, it is good and timely for Kunju to determine the best formula for Sarawak in more matches to come.
