Match at Fuhua Secondary. Pitch was full of holes. Drizzling but lucky the watchman allowed us to play. We ear red but opponents wear maroon. Poor job by referee again.

Match started within 10 min and Captain Sparrow was being penalised for bringing down the opponent and penalty awarded. Tiger guess the wrong direction and 1-0.

Second half, Tiger Yan on for papasoh. Within 20 minutes, Tiger chased towards a through pass by Captain Sparrow, being sandwiched by 2 opponents, Tiger struck the ball high just outside the penalty box and it chipped over the short GK and scored the equaliser. 1-1.

Not long later, a corner from the left was not cleared away by the defenders and the opponent saw a chance and first time volley into Songbo net. 2-1 down.
Songbo was anxious for a equaliser. 5 minutes later, Tiger was running and landed his knees in a awkward position due to pot holes and torn his already injured ligament. Was carried out and match continues.

Due to bad luck, Songbo concede 2 more goals in the dying minutes of the game with one contributed by Kelvin. NBA Star missed a clear cut point blank chance to minimise the gap.
Final whistle 4-1.

Things to learn: Its mind over body.....if we dun give up....we wun give up. Provided ur body has no defects. In the case of Tiger, its body over mind at that moment. Maybe we are tired of winning, thats y a defeat may be a good thing for us in the long run. Lets take a 1 week break and hopefully our fire will be back stronger.
