He was one of the leading players in the squad for the match against France which was the sixth qualifying match held on 11 September 1985 for the 1986 FIFA World Cup. The Lok midfielder beat Fabrice Poullain in every respect, risked dribbling against three opponents, sprinted away from them, and recognised the opponents' mistakes and used them quickly. His back pass to the Lok teammate Ronald Kreer guided Ronald Kreer's decisive 25-metre direct shot at 81 minutes of the match, the goal led the team to the 2–0 win over The UEFA Euro 1984 champion France.
