Liberian forward gives brilliant display for the home crowd
BY PETER CHAN
IPOH: Perak's Frank Seator has had greater moments. But Saturday's
Super League match against Sabah will remain etched in his mind
forever.
“I will remember the match for a very long time,” said the former
national Liberian striker after he played a sterling role in
making the first goal and scoring the second in Perak’s 2-0 win at
the Perak Stadium here.
But what's so special about the match? After all, he had scored
similar winners in many matches before.
“I wanted to win it for the fans. I did not want the 20,000 crowd
to go home feeling miserable. They were absolutely fantastic with
their support.

“I also wanted badly to score against Sabah because I fired blanks
against them in both semi-final matches of last year's Malaysia
Cup competition that we lost,” said Seator, who was choking with
emotion after the match.
The 28-year-old said he had a strong feeling he would score
especially when the weather cleared on Saturday evening after two
days of continuous rain.
“Something told me I would score against Sabah. Maybe it was just
a gut feeling. But I knew I would score.
“And when I scored, I felt so good. So many people were cheering.
It was a great moment,” he said.
Seator also played a major role in Perak's 25th minute opener.
The striker brilliantly chested a high cross from fellow forward
Khalid Jamlus for Argentine Ricardo Silva to drill home.
Then in the 71st minute, Seator capped an outstanding performance
by netting Perak's second goal.
Seator's displays also earned him praises from coach Toni Netto.
“Seator was just fantastic and he also has good attacking
qualities. If he continues to perform like this, I am confident we
will improve further in the standings,” Netto added.
Netto also expressed surprise over Sabah's lack of fitness as they
were a spent force even before halftime.
