JAKARTA - Madura United coach Fabio LeFundes admits Borneo FC is a strong and sulfite team that was defeated while playing at home, namely Segiri Stadium Samarinda, East Kalimantan. "We have tested Borneo FC's strength in the President's Cup, at that time we had to admit defeat 1-0," said Fabio LeFundes at the Segiri Stadium in Samarinda, quoted from Antara, Saturday, October 1. Based on the facts of the match, Borneo FC has never lost a home game in this season's Liga 1 competition, Borneo FC's worst result occurred when Persita Tangerang drew 2-2. However, the Brazilian coach did not want to just give up, especially since the squad nicknamed Sape Kerap currently holds the status as the leader of Liga 1 standings. "We came to Samarinda, of course, hoping to get points, we have prepared the match against Borneo as well as possible, hopefully the players will perform optimally during the match," explained Fabio.
