Brunei Darussalam’s national football team fell to a 2-0 defeat against Bermuda yesterday during a FIFA Series match at the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The CONCACAF member representative had the chance to open the scoring in the 16th minute through a free-kick but Brunei number one goalkeeper Haimie Anak Nyaring parried the ball away for a corner.
As Bermuda launched waves of attacks, forward Kane Chrichlow hit the side-netting after being played in with a neat pass by a teammate.
The relentless Bermuda got closer to scoring as Roger Lee struck the post after picking up a loose ball on the edge of the box.
Brunei made some changes in the half an hour mark as Razimie Ramlli and Abdul Hariz Herman made way for Hariz Danial Khallidden and Faturrahman Emran.
With Bermuda making numerous attacks in the game, the Wasps had a chance to take a surprise lead as Hakeme Yazid Said shot high after reacting to a cross from Fakharrazi Hassan.
In the second half, the Gombey Warriors finally ended Brunei’s resistance as midfielder Aunde Todd planted a header through a corner in the 81st minute.
Brunei’s goalkeeper Haimie Anak Nyaring pulled a great save to deny substitute Jai Bean with a header following good work on the flanks from the ever-present Djair Parfitt.
It was the perfect end for Parfitt who closed the game out by skipping past Brunei defenders and curling a shot into the top corner.
Brunei, who are making their first official international appearance this year, will next play Vanuatu from the OFC on March 26. – Fadhil Yunus
