Panchor Murai FC secured a commanding 3–1 victory over MS PPDB under the floodlights at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex on the night of Saturday, October 10, 2026, claiming a vital 3 points in the Brunei Super League 2026/27 campaign.
The match was heavily influenced by a standout masterclass from the stricker Martins Ohia, a former player of Chykap Football Club Lagos, whose speed and agile brilliance orchestrated the home team’s attacking dominance.
Panchor Murai set an aggressive tempo from the whistle, breaking the deadlock in the 16th minute.
Ohia unlocked the opposition’s defensive line with a sublime, perfectly weighted through pass, setting up the opening goal to put the hosts ahead.
Carrying their momentum into the second half, Panchor Murai doubled their advantage immediately after the restart when a 47th-minute penalty was coolly converted, bringing the score to 2–0.
Just a minute later, in the 48th minute, Ohia delivered his second major highlight of the night.
Embarking on a blistering long-range run down the right flank, he drove deep to the edge of the penalty box before squaring a pinpoint pass past the onrushing goalkeeper. An alert teammate tapped the ball into an empty net, capping off a brilliant team move and extending the lead to 3–0.
As the match wound down, Ohia Jnr was substituted in the 89th minute following a hard collision with an opponent, a precautionary measure by the technical staff to protect the star player for the upcoming league fixture.
MS PPDB managed to claw back a consolation goal, but it proved to be merely academic as Panchor Murai comfortably managed the remaining minutes.
The final whistle confirmed a 3–1 victory, cementing a complete performance and securing all 3 points for Panchor Murai FC.
Reflecting on the team’s stellar performance and his contribution on the pitch, Martins Ohia shared his thoughts after the final whistle:
“I am absolutely thrilled with the result tonight. Securing all three points at home was our primary goal, and the entire team fought hard from the first minute to the last.
“Delivering the assists feels great, but this victory belongs to the collective effort of the squad and our technical crew.
“We are taking the positives from this match, staying focused, and looking forward to keeping the momentum going into our next game.”
