Defeat to Persebaya a lesson to toughen up the Rhinos

PETALING JAYA: Sabah coach Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto wants his men to turn their mistakes quickly into valuable lessons after losing 1-3 to Persebaya Surabaya in their East Java Governor Cup opener.

The Rhinos took the lead in their Group B match through Hector Ramos (pic, sixth minute) but Persebaya claimed the win with goals from David da Silva (eighth and 40th) and Irfan Jaya (90th+3) at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium on Saturday.
