A hot sunny sunday coupled with only 12 players and facing 1 leaving at half-time, pundits would expect Songbo to slipped in this match. But they proved all crtics wrong with a convincing 4-3 win over dunearn old uncles. The scoreline could be greater if not for some slack defending and bizarre goalkeeping error. Goals from Goal Machine, TigerYan, Sparrow and Looney were enough to show how balanced Songbo offence was.
Opponents were none other than the Dunearn old uncles which we played against many times. Based on past records, we had more wins over them but we did not belittle them based on tat. Minutes started into the first half, our NBA star (who keep sending his application form for striker but end up being flatly rejected) had 2 shiity crosses tat keep going out for goal kick.
The 3rd one he got it right, with a looping cross from the right flank....it travels to the far post for Goal Machine to head in with ease. 1-0 to Songbo! The joy was shortlived, a one-two by the opponents sends Kelvin in a wild goose chase and crosses to the far post for their striker to head goal. 1-1.....Songbo struggled for a goal and they are finally rewarded few gd minutes b4 half time. A flick on by Sparrow sends TigerYan racing to towards goal with the GK to beat. Their centre back although tried to pull back Tiger, but he is simply unstoppable , with not much choices to left. that centre back tried to hit the ball out of play. But the ball chipped ahead of the keeper and it seems destined to bounce into the net....TigerYan even shouted "Goal' as he ran towards the goalpost, only to see the ball bounces off the post and lucky he is near the ball at tat moment and he swipe the ball in! 2-1 up!
The scoreline remain until halftime n the spirits were high. WayangQuan was injured in the midst of 1st half, so he had no choice but to be replaced by Mervin. Songbo 3rd chance came through a corner by Jackie. A perfectly cross to the centre of the 6 yard box, met Sparrow and he power head the ball into opponents' net. 3-1! up. 4th goal came minutes later, a freekick by Jackie which was supposed to be a cross ended up into the net when their keeper fails to grab hold of the ball, letting it fly pass his hands. 4-1 up......
Songbo bcame YaYa Papaya.....they changed TigerYan for PapaSoh and decide not to run for ball so often. A cross by the opponent as similar as their first goal was met by a header into the far post wif TigerYan nearly rooted on the ground. 4-2!....the deficit was cut to 2 goals.
With a 2 goal cushion, Sparrow decide to change for Wayang Quan. The match became more one sided after the substitution. Songbo can only defend n defend throughout. With so called 5min left by the referee, Songbo players were pyschologically alert for only 5min, and the 3rd goal came when a cross from the right flank was met by a first time volley towards the bottom left of the goal. The shoot was poor and the stand in keeper TigerYan tot that goal might be going out, pretends to dive for show....but to his horror, the ball was straight towards goal and he can only see the ball stroll into goal. 4-3!!!!
Finally the match ended after some charity work was done by the referee to the opponents.
Special mention to Lusty Seng for staying back to play for us knowing we had a player less due to injury(Wayang Quan). He certainly knows the meaning behind the word 'STEP UP'. Wat a man!
