New S-League club Brunei DPMM have jumped to the top of the league table following a 1-0 victory over Sengkang Punggol on Wednesday.

Shahrazen Said struck a brilliant volley in the 60th minute to give the Brunei club all three points.

Croatian coach Vjeran Simunic was delighted with the result and pleased with the progress his side is making in a new competition.

"I love what I see and I'm very proud to see many people and the fans come to watch football. I hope the next game (at home), we can have 15,000 people watching DPMM FC. I thank the supporters for coming," he said.

"I love 1-0 games instead of 2-0 games. It makes the game more exciting and keeps the adrenalin pumping.

"I'd rather win 1-0 than winning 2-0. I think Sengkang Punggol is the toughest team we played at home this season and they put up a good fight till the end."
