UiTM, the Division 1 champions of theĀ TNB-QNET Selangor Hockey League, moved up the top of the standings when they chalked up three wins from three matches played thus far in the season. And this week, they came back from two goals down to beat United Ace 4-2.
Uitm faced a determined Uniten Ace who delivered a shockedr when they grabbed theĀ early lead in the ninth minute through a Mohd Haikal Zamri fieldĀ goal. Uniten Ace then doubled their lead at the start of the second quarter off a well-placedĀ Mohd Rifdi Syimir 16th minute deflection.
The goal rocked UiTM into action and this sawĀ former international Iman Gobinathan nailing a double in theĀ 20th and 28th minute to level the score going into half time.
UiTM began to pressure the Uniten Ace defense and two minute toĀ the end of the third quarter, UiTM were awarded a penalty corner that wasĀ converted by Mohd Firdaus Omar to give them a 3-2 lead.
Iman Gobinathan got his hattrick on the 49th minute thru another penaltyĀ corner conversion to secure UiTM a 4-2 victory.
Hot on UiTM heels were KJLJD, whose unbeaten run was thwarted by aĀ hardworking MBPJ Team.
MBPJ’s former international Baljit Singh was theĀ hero for his team, as his penalty corner conversion were too much forĀ KJLJD to handle. Baljit Singh scored in the 10th and 43rd minute before KJLJD pulledĀ one back in the 48th minute thruough a Khairil Johari field goal.
Baljit wasĀ not to be denied his hattrick as two minutes from time he scored again throughĀ a penalty corner conversion.
