Match 53 - Win






Starting line up: Tiger Yan(GK) Lusty (LB), C Cup(CB), Kenny(CB), NBA Star(RB), Looney (LM), Leg Cramp(DM), Sparrow(CM), Spar Tan(RM), PapaSoh (FW) and Kelvin(FW)

Match was at Dunearn Sec for the dunno how many times and the opponents were the uncles that counting this time shld be the 3rd time we facing them. Though we held on higher agrregate 3-2. Old uncles were clearing missing their key player DM...who basically can outhead anyone in the midfield. Songbo had more chances and more possession in the first half. The breakthrough came from Looney who unleash a looping cross from the left flank and all it takes was a simple head in by Kelvin and 1-0! Songbo was in control.

Sun was hot and Tiger Yan was on for PapSoh and Ah Lam for Spar Tan. 2nd half was totally in control again. A super long throw in by NBA Star from the left flank saw Tiger Yan latching the ball inside the penalty area. Standing exactly at the same left side of the penalty box....Tiger Yan unleash an upstoppable shot into the top corner of the net. 2-0! He finally did what he cant did the previous match (but was reprimanded by Sparrow for hitting the ball too hard). The unlces were down 2 goals and patience was clearly losing. They subbed in an uncle wearing basketball shorts....though looking damn cock and funny, he is one kind of a loser...keep playing rough with Songbo and in one moment he hit the legs of Ah Lam without any threat....clearly a person that dun seems to have much success in life. Ah Lam was a nice guy, he heck care the uncle and carry on his game. Another shortie uncle to take note. Wearing 11.....he was bascially trying to agitate players rather than playing ball.....and after having a go at nearly all the players....he found his target.....Looney!
The game though getting tighter but uncles were uncles...they made mistakes. A chip from Leg Cramp saw the ball travel towards the penlaty area....the uncle wearing the basketball shorts tried to head the ball but it bounces back and Tiger was there to capitalise on the loose ball....he took past their No.11 and slot it home....3-0! Woohooo.......clearly in cruise control.
But closing to the game....Songbo gave away 2 goals to the opponents and things were getting a bit jittery. Not long later....their no.11 had a bad tackle on Looney and both were swearing at each other, clearly not putting the referee in sight. The young indian referee decided to flash red cards to the 2 of them and off they go.
Match ended 3-2.

Things to learn: Do not fall into the traps of opponents. The little stuffs they do is to break ur temper and concentration down. We need some penetrating through pass from the midfield to add dimensions to our game. Against a team with not much skills.....we shld try not to give them much space and time to think. Once they get the ball, go in for them and make them panic.
