Bendemeer Sec, 1500 Hrs
YSOSRS FC 4 El Retador 3
(Izwann x2, Dilip x1, Syafiq x1)
Alright, I shant talk about the fact that we had almost an entirely new backline for the game. Neither will I talk about the fact that we had at least 2 men down with the flu bug in our 12 men squad.
What I will talk about is the character and desire shown by all. 12 men against possibly a team as strong as Intense and FMFC. The best of the division had to offer which we were looking to face with a seriously patched up squad.
Yet we did it.
1-0: 1st minute and some intricate link up between new boy Dilip and front man Izwann saw the latter side step one man before unleashing a 25 yarder into the top left hand corner of the Retador net. Sick.
2-1: After conceding a sickening equaliser, Dilip found himself free just inside the right hand side of the pen box. Cutting in and beating his marker, a fortuitous goal came about when the lad kicked the ground and somehow lobbed the ball with a weak attempt. The keeper however spilled the shot into the back of his net to our amazement. A goal nonetheless. Sweet.
It has to be said that Santosh and Izwann in particular were running them ragged in the 1st half. Chi was a rock at right back with Law grafting well in the middle too.
HT.
3-3: After conceding from a rocket of a freekick and then a header off a corner to trail 3-2. The fallen joker heads soon had something to cheer about when Syafiq who had just come on found Izwann with a nice through ball. Izwann once against side stepped one and fired a rocket of a shot from way out into the bottom left hand corner this time. Oooh you beauty!
4-3: With the morale of the team on a high and the jokers in the ascendency at this point of time, a left footed free kick swung in by new boy centreback, Hafiz beat everyone and was seemingly falling comfortably into the hands of the keeper. Yet, the ball chose to bounce awkwardly just in front of the keeper which was enough for Syafiq to pounce and poke home just outside the 6 yard box. In the lead and one which we never relinquished again!
FT.
MOTM: Several candidates of course with such a performance. Izwann was awesome up front. Santosh a non stop energy bunny. Law an effervescent presence in the middle. And our backline. Hafiz and Farhan connecting well and repelling as much as possible. But the man of the moment has to be our returning son for the day, Chi who answered the SOS call at the last minute and turned in a battling display at right back. He is a centre mid by nature folks. Kudos chi! Join us more often next time yo!
