Timor
Leste notched their first football win of their SEA Games campaign after
beating Brunei 2-1 in a Group B clash at Bishan Stadium on Wednesday night.
Taking
the lead in the 23th minute through forward Jairo Palmeira Neto, Timor Leste
asserted their dominance in midfield and broke forward at every opportunity in
the first-half.
But
they were pegged back after the break when Bruneian forward Faiq Jefri Bolkiah
scored from the penalty spot in the 68th minute.
Brunei's
joy, however, was short-lived when Timor Leste midfielder Paulo Helber Rosa
Ribeiro scored the winner five minutes later.
