The basement club drew 1-1 against Kuala Lumpur in the Super League clash on Saturday but it was the goal scored by the visitors’ Shukor Adan that irked Bernhardt.
The university boys had taken the lead through their new South Korean playmaker Kwon Yong-hyun, who made an immediate impact by scoring in the 84th minute from a penalty rebound and looked good to close in on their first three points of the season. But in the dying minutes of the game, the veteran centreback seemed to have used his hand to tap the ball into UiTM’s goal off a Paulo Josue corner.
The incident was akin to Diego Maradona’s “hand of God” goal against England during the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.Bernhardt did not hide his frustration and felt his side showed great fight only to be undone by that dubious goal.“The player jumped and used his hand. We have pictures and videos of it, ” fumed Bernhardt.
“I am totally frustrated because they took away two points from us which were important in our battle against relegation.“How the referee cannot see this or didn’t want to see it is beyond me.“We had four difficult games before this, so we were psychically and emotionally a little empty and needed to wake the players up.“It wasn’t a quality game because both teams had tight fixtures and the pitch was bad because there was a game on Friday before our match.
Tak malu ke shukor, gol macam tu pun nak celebrate macam power sangat
