Kota Kinabalu: Datuk Ong Kim Swee called on his players to learn from their 2-1 win over Sri Pahang FC which saw two missed penalties at Likas Stadium on Saturday night.

The team were in total control in the first half and cruised to a two-nil lead inside the opening 20 minutes with Neto Pessoa scoring the first after putting in the ball at the far post from a Tommy Mawat’s cross in the 10th minute.

Eight minutes later, Taiki Kagayama won the ball from some 30 yards out before making his way towards goal and despite four Sri Pahang FC players closing in, he managed to unleash a powerful shot that beat the goalkeeper.
