MOHAMAD Alikhan bin Haji Mohd Yakop rescued a point for the Ministry of Health (MoH) in a pulsating 1-1 draw with the Ministry of Finance in Group ‘A’ at the Inter-Ministry Keputeraan Cup Football Championship in conjunction with the 71st birthday celebrations of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam at the Berakas Sports Complex last night.
The MoH team captain provided the perfect response after receiving a minor setback with a well-taken goal in the 43rd minute to leave both sides plenty to talk about at half-time.
Awangku Md Hafizuddin Pengiran Hassanuddin had earlier given the Ministry of Finance the lead in the 32nd minute.
The result left both sides in third and fourth spots in the standings with one point each and still in the mix for the qualifying places.
The Ministry of Home Affairs tops the table following a 7-2 whitewash against the Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism with the Ministry of Development only behind due to a lesser goals ratio.
The competition continues with a double header this Saturday with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports meeting the Ministry of Communications in Group ‘B’ at the Track and Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex while defending champions the Ministry of Home Affairs will be looking to notch a second successive win against the Ministry of Education.
