Walaupun tanpa khidmat jurulatih David McCreery, rentak permainan Sabah nampaknya tidak terjejas dengan lakaran kemenangan 5-3 ke atas PDRM petang tadi di Stadium Likas.
Penyerang import, Koh Traore meneruskan aksi luarbiasanya dengan meledak kesemua lima gol buat pasukan Sabah dengan melakar hatrik di separuh masa pertama sebelum menambah dua lagi gol di separuh masa kedua.
Traore memulakan pesta golnya di minit ke 11 apabila mudah menolak masuk hantaran lintang Zainizam Marjan. Bagimanapun PDRM menyamakan kedudukan menerusi gerakan solo Kaye Edrisar di minit ke 21.
Traore kembali meletakkan Sabah di depan pada minit ke 32 menerusi umpanan Alto Linus sebelum menyempurna hatriknya selang empat minit kemudian untuk Sabah selesa mendahului 3-1. Namun, PDRM merapatkan jurang empat minit sebelum separuh masa pertama berakhir menerusi Khairul Izuan yang memanfaatkan kesilapan penjaga gol Sabah, Sharil Shari.

Gerakan dari pemain sayap lincah, Alto Linus sekali lagi membuah hasil apabila umpanannya mudah ditolak masuk oleh Traore untuk gol ke-empat di minit ke 57 namun PDRM kembali merapatkan kedudukan tiga minit kemudian menerusi Khairul Amar.
Traore kemudiannya memastikan kemenangan mutlak buat Sabah apabila menjaringkan gol ke-lima pada minit ke 81 untuk menutup terus peluang PDRM untuk sekurang-kurangnya mencatat keputusan seri.
Kemenangan ini mengukuhkan kedudukan Sabah di tangga ke-5 liga dengan 30 mata hasil 9 kemenangan, tiga seri dan kalah 8 kali.
Dengan liga berbaki dua perlawanan lagi, peluang Sabah untuk menempah satu dari dua slot playoff Piala Malaysia semakin cerah walaupun dua pasukan pesaing, Pos Malaysia (26 mata) dan PDRM (25 mata) masih mampu mengejar.
Perlawanan Sabah seterusnya adalah menentang Johor pada Isnin, 24 Jun di tempat lawan.
STRIKER Koh Traore starred for Sabah as his goals beat Police 5-3 in the Premier League match at the Likas Stadium today.
The foreign import grabbed a first half hattrick – his fourth of a remarkable debut season – before two more goals secured the much needed three points for the Sabahawks.
The Malian forward started the goals galore in the 11th minute when he slotted home from a Zainizam Marjan’s cross.
Police’s Kaye Edrisar equalised with a fine individual goal in the 21st minute but Traore restored the lead in the 32nd minute with an assist from Alto Linus.
Traore made it 3-1 when he completed his hattrick four minutes later, but Khairul Izuan gave the Cops hope by pulling a goal back four minutes before the break.
Sabah continued to dominate in the second half and the Traore-Alto combination worked to perfection again in the 57th minute when Traore tucked home from close range from the winger’s pass.
The visitors fought back with goal from Khairul Amar in the 60th minute but a fifth from Traore on 80th minutes killed off any hope for Police to at least snatch a draw.
The victory moved Sabah to 30 points and remained fifth in the 12-team table.
Sabah are closer to the Malaysia Cup play-off slot, although KL Pos Malaysia (26 points) and Police (25 points) are still in with a chance with two games remaining.
The Sabahawks will take on Johor away in their next game on June 24.
