JAKARTA - Borneo FC coach Pieter Huistra said the courage to attack was the key for his team to beat Barito Putera with a score of 2-1 in the 4th week of Liga 1 Indonesia at the Segiri Stadium, Samarinda, Friday.

Pieter explained that since the first minute Stefano Lilipaly and colleagues continued to put pressure on Barito Putera's defense.

"We know, we played at home and we had to play sharp and well from the start. I was happy to see the game of our team and we made many chances," Pieter said, quoting Antara, Saturday, July 22.

This strategy immediately paid off in the 9th minute when Leo Lelis was able to break into the goal from Barito Putera and make Borneo FC more comfortable in going through the match.

In addition, the pressure put by the Pesut Etam squad also made Barito Putera unable to develop the game, so Borneo FC could increase the advantage in the 57th minute through Lilipaly's goal.

Although quite happy with the three-point score that his team secured from Barito Putera, the Dutch coach gave the spotlight to the back line of Borneo FC.

It is known that in the last four matches, Borneo FC has always conceded and this has become an evaluation in order to secure a clean sheet in the next match.

"I think we also need time to get a clean sheet because so far in the match we have always got the ball from the opponent," explained Pieter.

This victory makes \, have the same points as Barito Putera who dropped to fourth place.
