Well saved penalty gives 10-man SONGBO FC a deserved win

A hard-earned win for Songbo FC where they had to slog through the match with 10-man and no substitutes. Opponents were dominantly Indians but they did not possess the skills normally associated with their race. They had some good attacking players which explained the high scoreline and they fought back from being 5-2 down to 5-4. Only a well-saved penalty by Junbing denied the opponents the comeback they were looking for.

Alvin Toh scored a memorable hat trick against an almost non-existent GK with the highlight being an air back heel finish into the bottom corner from a Junbing cross. Junbing made most of a Hweequan clearance to turn his marker to finish and Rujia showed exactly how non-existent the opponent's GK was by simply directing a free kick into the middle of the goal.

In short, it should and could have been a piece of cake for Songbo FC given the quality of the opponents, although they have to be given credit for their attacking prowess with the likes of a Obafemi Martins/Shaun Wright Phillips hybrid of a player and some skillful attackers, but Songbo FC were made to work for the victory they deserved with 10-man.
