GLADIATORS KICKED-OFF NEW SEASON WITH A WINNING START


Super League: ATM 2 - Sarawak 0

ATM collected three points from their first 2014 Super League match after winning 2-0 over Sarawak at the Selayang Stadium last night. The Gladiators took their home ground advantage to control the match against the unsettled visitor.


Last season's top scorer Marlon Alex James opened the scoring to give ATM the lead after 20 minutes. Sarawak started to hunt for an equalizer after that goal. They tried to change their approach but ATM defenders were solid as rock. Amiridzwan Taj played a good game to shut all Sarawak opportunities. The Gladiators added the second goal of the night as Christie Jayaseelan found the net right before the half time break.


Sarawak returned in the second half with stronger determination. But the home side has too much experience within their team. ATM held on to protect the clean sheet until the final whistle. It was a good start for the new season by B. Sathianathan's boys.
