1500 Hrs, Queenstown Sec
YSOSRS FC 0 St Andrews 4
A really simple report for this game it shall be. The scoreline didn't really say it all as we did try our best to score as usual. AhCool had a great chance to put us 1-0 up but unfortunately could not muster enough power to slot it pass the keeper from close range, Santosh had a wonderous outside foot shot that was dipping under the bar till the keeper tipped it over speculatively. Finally, Farhan brought down a nice chip over the Scottish backline and produced a stinging half volley inside the box that had goal written all over it, only to see the keeper somehow keep it all.
That was a summary of our most clear cut opportunities as it was an odd game. Heading into it with a relatively relaxed attitude, we dominated the early exchanges until the scots got themselves a break. A second goal just before the half for them just rubbed salt into our wounds. We tried to wake up in the 2nd half but subsequently shipped 2 more to finish the game 4-0. On the wrong end of the score indeed.
What the scoreline did not show was that the boys never stopped playing. Heads went down yes, but we continued to encourage each other and tried our best to play on. Arguably a harsh scoreline but nonetheless, something we have to accept.
MOTM: Weisheng who did well in the 1st half in particular as he was one of the few who really showed appetite for the game.
Gaffers words: 1 more game against ISA in the league. No significance in the context of the league table for us as we have 3rd position sealed. Make no mistake about it though as we have it all to play for. Pride in particular. We also have the small matter of a cup final the week after and I'm sure the 4-0 scoreline has had us licking our wounds. No one likes to lose especially with us being a bunch of really competitive peeps. A bitter pill to swallow but that is football. Regroup, keep on believing and move on boys. I've already spoken to certain individuals as to what we could have done better for yesterday's game. Keep it mind.
