KOTA SAMARAHAN: The highly fancied UiTM futsal team lived up to their top billing as they dumped host Unimas in the quarter-finals of the 2012 Malaysia University Sports Council (Masum) Games here yesterday.
Unimas crashed out of the futsal tournament when UiTM dominated the match from the onset of the kick-off to win by 5-1.
The UiTM team overwhelmed Unimas as they were more experienced and represented by national players.
During the first half, Unimas put on a solid display as they defended well despite trailing 0-1.
Things however did not go well for Unimas after the breather as their players started to show signs of fatigue.
UiTM took their chances well to add four more to the tally in the second half to make it 5-0.
Unimas got their consolation goal in the dying minutes of the game to make the scoreline 5-1.
For the record, the UiTM futsal squad was last year’s FAM-IPT Futsal League champions and are favourites to advance all the way to the finals. The semi-finals matches will be played at the Unimas Futsal Arena today.
Eight events namely squash, tennis, futsal, swimming, archery, badminton, ten-pin bowling and chess are being held in the annual Masum Games at Unimas campus here since last Sunday.
