SERIAN: The Serian FA squad who was predicted to cruise into the quarter-finals of the Malaysian People’s Football League (LBR) National Level campaign have to ‘wait’ whether they are qualified.
It is due to a shock defeat (0-1) in the hands of the Federal Territory of Labuan on last Saturday.
Had Serian FA win the last Saturday game, they would have qualified to the quarter-finals.
It was the first defeat for the squad after they excel in the first three matches. Team manager Philip Jabu said it was a disappointing and shocking loss.
“We are little disappointed with the defeat. Nevertheless, we had to wait to advance to the quarterfinals,” Phillip added.
According to Phillip, he is confident his side can book a slot for the last eight teams as there are still two matches to play against Sabah at unconfirmed dates.
