To regain the confidence from the thrashing last week, T.Weijie arranged his team of commandoes which we heard was thrashed by 11 goals. There was a rare sight of 15 players with alvin toh who joined back the team after a long time.

Before the match, our captain reminded us to give respect to the opponents, give in our 120% and show them what their OC's team is made of.

The match started and the 1st goal came when Songbo win their 1st corner. Jacky selfishly curled the ball directly into the goal, leaving the opponents stunned. 1-0.

Songbo was given alot of chances to attack as the opponents' defenders committed alot of foul throws.

After a few attacks, detecting that their own gk has problem taking goal kicks, one of the defenders went to help. He took the kick but the ball went low and towards Yan, who calmly trapped the ball to Jeremy. Jeremy dribbled past the last defender and slid the ball past the incoming gk into the bottom left corner of the goal post. 2-0

Songbo was playing like Real Madrid at some point, with 5 attackers and 5 defenders, leaving the midfield empty. The opponents was using this to their advantage and controlled the mid with their skillful midfielders.

Although there was some confusion in the Songbo defense with the new pairing of Kenny and Hweequan in the center defense, they managed a clean sheet in the 1st half as there were not much threat with the opponents' attacks.

Half time came and our captain reminded us again that 2 goal difference is still not a safe result. We should tighten our defense and attack if there is a chance.


The 2nd half started and the opponents started to attack from the flanks. Their goal came when Kelvin raised his hand for a ball which was over the line but the referee continues the play and the opponent took the chance and cross the ball. Hweequan was there to make a a difficult heading clearance, but the ball went to the opponent and he took it past Hweequan who was off-balance after clearing the ball. Kenny tries to block the shooting path but the opponent calmly lobs the ball over him and the gk and into the top right corner of the goal. 2-1.

The midfield was losing balls to the opponents and Songbo was under constant attacks. Songbo manage to keep their lead with the experience of the defense.

Songbo's 3rd goal came when they did a counter-attack and managed to pass the ball to Jeremy, who fake past a defender and dribbling towards the goal with another defender chasing behind him. After managing to lure the gk out of position, he lobs the ball to the other end of the goal, where Sybiant was unmarked and easily heads the ball into the empty net. 3-1.

The fourth goal came when Songbo wins another corner, Jacky crossed the ball into the heart of the penalty box and unmarked, Rujia heads the ball into the back of the net. 4-1.

The final whistle went off and Sonbgo got their 1st win of the season.
