Songbo FC's Undefeated Streak Surrendered Meekly

Songbo FC's undefeated streak of 4 wins came to an end as they went down 0-2 to a team where they have beaten soundly before. Before the game has even begun, the squad was besieged by, perhaps, a whole battalion of mosquitoes lying in wait for the unsuspecting team. It resulted in the team changing up in record time before taking to the field for warm-up and runabouts.

The game itself was straightforward; Songbo FC's defeat could be summed up in just 2 crucial moments were mistakes ultimately proved costly as the opponents scored those 2 goals with arguably their only memorable attacks.

The 1st was a defensive mix-up between Binghong, slotted into the centre back position with Chaos being pushed up into midfield, and Yanshou who both ran towards the ball but none of them got to it. In the end, all the opponent had to to was to tap the ball into an empty net.

The 2nd came with another lapse in defense where the team let the ball bounce around one time too many. A cross field pass was played into their advancing player from the right and from a tight angle, the opponent managed to slot the ball in.

Throughout the whole match, Songbo FC had a few chances to pull back the scores but a lack of match sharpness, their 1st game in more than a month, contributed to their downfall, both in defense as well as offense.
