Soccer Friendly - UiTM 1 The Northern Warriors 1

The Northern Warriors drew 1-1 to UiTM in a friendly match played at the UiTM Stadium in Arau. The match was played to gauge and assess the combination of the team prior to the IMT-GT Varsity Sports Carnival to be held in Kangar this weekend. The match started on the slippery pitch with both teams had an equal share of the game. The defence stood firm under the command of Khairul Abd Rahim while Cao Le dominated in midfield. Nor Hasrul Zainal gave some tough times to the opponent's defence with his darting run on the left. UUM made several changes in the second half with Mohd Taufikh Abdullah took over the command in defence. UiTM took the lead in the 63rd minute after the defenders failed to clear the ball out of the 6yards box and the opponent slammed from close range beating Mohd Razi Azami. UUM equalised through Wan Mohamad Aizat Md Nasri after collecting a rebounce from an attempt made by Mohd Rahizan Md Kamsani. The goal came from a very intelligent penetrating pass made by Mohd Saiful Islam Ghazali to Syed Mohamad Hilmi Shahabudin on the right flank who made an early cross-in into the box.
