The opponents are a group of indians and the half started with them gaining most of the possession. They have great technique and the composure of passing around which Songbo team lack of. Their defense is also of no nonsense type so our team had little chance of attacking. But their attack could not penetrate our defense so the 1st half ended in a stale-mate.

During the break, there is a change in our team formation. Our captain for Mervin, and kelvin for Seng, who was injured in the 1st half. Yan was sent to the right mid while Rujia took up his place in the attacking mid.

Songbo's only goal came when a shot from Jeremy was blocked by the opponent. The ball luckily and accurately land in front of our captain, who easily tap the ball into the bottom corner of the goalpost with his left foot, leaving the keeper rooted to the ground. 1-0.

The equalizer of the opponent came when Chao allow their winger to run past him. Though he almost manage to cach him back, the winger make a good low cross to their forward, who make a shot to the right of the goal post. Sources claim that our goalkeeper would have save the ball, if not for the sandy pitch below him, causing him to slip while he was trying to dive the opposite direction. 1-1.

The opponents almost scored another when they manage to make a fast counter attack, leaving Kenny and their forward running. The opponent manage to fake past Kenny and make a shot but a superb save from Junbing prevented the opponents from leading.

The winning goal came when Huang slipped a clearance and the ball bounces back. While trying to clear the ball, Kenny scaled the ball the allow the ball to travelled nearer to the goalpost. The opponent took the chance and lob the ball over Junbing who was coming out to intercept. 1-2.

Although leading from behind, Songbo press the line up and keep the pressure on the opponents.
Chances are still little but they are not going to just give up to the opponents. But luck is not on Songbo's side this time. The refree blow for the final whistle after attacks on the opponent are just not going in.
