Balachandran praises sole keeper Tauffiq despite defeat to Turtles


PETALING JAYA: Sarawak coach S. Balachandran admitted he took a big risk by listing only one goalkeeper when his squad faced Terengganu in the Super League match at the Sultan Mizan Stadium in Gong Badak.

The former national Under-16 head coach had to resort to this after two other reserve goalkeepers were down with injuries and fever.
