ROYAL Brunei Armed Forces' Sports Council (MS ABDB) showed exactly why they are the defending DST Group Brunei FA Cup champions by crushing Brunei Shell FT (BSFT) 8-1 at the Berakas Sports Complex last night, booking their spot in the quarterfinals.Abd Azizi Ali Rahman scored a hat-trick while skipper Rosmin Hj Md Kamis came through with a pair of goals. MS ABDB teammates Md Isa Hj Bahar, Ak Md Fakharrazi Pg Hj Hassan and Md Safari Wahit all got into the goal scoring run.

BSFT's lone goal was scored by Junaidi Ibrahim in the 15th minute.Brunei Shell FT never found their footing against the rampant armymen last night. MS ABDB's fluid passing and through ball were easily penetrating the porous BSFT defence forcing the goalkeeper to stretch to parry Suhaime Hj Md Yussof and Ak Mahalie Pg Hj Sulaiman's early efforts on goal.The increasing pressure put paid to the fragile defence as early as the 5th minute, Abd Azizi driving a header to the far post beyond the BSFT goalkeeper's reach.

A minute later it was ex-DPMM Rosmin who found the mark to double the advantage, finding space outside the box before unleashing a long shot that took a fortunate deflection off a BSFT player.BSFT seemed to have rallied themselves back into the match when Junaidi towered over the armymen to connect with Kamarul Rambli's freekick from the left flank to cut the deficit.That proved to be more of false hope than anything else, as Abd Azizi and Md Safari scored within the space of three minutes to give MS ABDB a commanding lead.Rosmin's header and Md Isa's shot increased the armymen's goal tally to 6 before the end of the first half, putting the match beyond all doubt.Three minutes into the second half, Md Baharin unleashed Abd Azizi straight on goal with a delightful through ball to blast into the bottom right post to complete his hat-trick. Md Isa's thunderous strike in the 59th minute ended the armymen's goal-fest to take them into the quarterfinals.

The eight teams that will be joining MS ABDB in the quarterfinals are: Indera FC, AM Gunners FC, Jerudong FC, NBT FC, Kilanas FC, QAF FC and LLRC FT. Indera FC will kick-off their quarterfinal tomorrow night, taking on the Gunners at the Berakas Sports Complex at 8.15pm. Rampant goalscoring MS ABDB will battle Jerudong FC on Saturday (April 3) at the Balapan Track and Field in Berakas.

DST Group Brunei Premier League I (BPL I) bottom-dwellers NBT FC will aim to defeat another BPL II-side in their FA Cup conquest, Kilanas FC, at the Berakas Sports Complex that same night.

Saving the best for last, the most anticipated quarterfinal tie will feature the respective champions of the BPL slug it out on Sunday (April 4). Powered by BPL I top-scorer Viban Francis Bayong, QAF FC will be up against the undefeated BPL II champions LLRC FT at the Balapan Track and Field.
