As mentioned in our FB group, our match day squad had shrank considerably throughout the week from our more than comfortable 18 to a mere 13-14 by game day itself. Players were out on a bender the night before and there were the ones with other hanky panky activities at home. Either with their computers if not other forms of entertainment too explicit for a public website as such(shall leave it as that). This certainly did not make the planning easy as we eventually lined up on the pitch against a surprisingly foreign looking Eclectico.
They were the very same side that had condemned us to a 2-2 draw as they hustled from being 2 goals down to deal us a real blow on the opening day of the season. What was for certain was the manner in which they had carved us open on Day 1, and that certainly left a lasting image going into this return tie.
Anyhow game time came and the boys who were present sought to go for the jugular from the get go. An early inswinging freekick from Hafiz served as an early sign of things to come as it smacked the top of the bar.
1-0: Then came probably the most amazing/stunning/unbelievable/(fill it in with your own adjective) moment of the day. A splendid through ball by Law from the centre saw Mr Kp old men rolling back the years (Alvin if u were wondering) by bursting down the flanks and expertly cutting the ball back into the penalty box. Habib smashed the initial shot that ricochet into the path of Moksi. Creating just enough space with his first touch, a swivel and a shot saw the keeper push the ball into the roof of the net as it only just bounced across the line. Finally a goal for the much dissed gaffer on 15 minutes.
2-0: The day got even weirder as Nigel drifted in from the left thus allowing a sea of space for Moksi. Threading a nicely crafted through ball, the gaffer stunned all as his finish showed considerable amount of deception. He rolled it in after faking the keeper to shoot at the far post. (Till now, the man himself is unable to explain if he meant it or not. Benefit of the doubt ah peeps).
3-0: The weirdest hattrick of the season was complete when Habib who was a torn all afternoon, flicked, controlled, flicked again and burst into the box. A left foot cutback somehow looped up invitingly for the gaffer to side foot home just outside the 6 yard box. The Jokers themselves were as stunned as the Eclectico players. For much different reasons though.
4-0: Cue the moment for our fast maturing DM who made forward runs from deep at every opportunity. One such run saw him receive the ball just outside the D, and he unleashed a well angled shot into the bottom left of the net leaving the keeper with no chance. First goal of the season for our youngster who has impressed all with his steadily growing confidence and increasingly tightening Jersey top. Muskles boy muskles.
5-0: Dinietov then got in on the act just before the whistle blew after some devastating wing play by Nigel down the left, leaving his marker floundering. One touch and boom from just inside the penalty box by our magician, and it left the opposing keeper once again with absolutely no chance. We were in heaven at the moment. Beep beeeeeep.
We were ever so wary though of the increasingly darkening sky and the flashes of lightning across the sky. Surely not another rain off?!!
The signs were there in that the goalscoring wasn't finish. A beautiful cut back from Nigel saw Dinie crack a first time shot against the post that ended in AhCool slamming the rebound over from 6 yards. Aiyo.. And then Bib-ba chased down a lofted ball over the top, beat and rounded the keeper twice, before slamming the ball into the exact same branch above the goal. Wakao.
6-0: Anyway my memory from here started disappearing... Sorry to the ones who scored as I try my best to piece together the happenings.. Im gonna get a backlash for this I know. Anyhow, pretty sure it was a brilliant cross field ball from Hafiz from the back that saw Nigel accelerate away and beat his marker to it with his chest.This, before rounding the keeper and stabbing it home from close range. Oh so sexay.
7-0: Can't exactly remember this one too but I believe a cross to Dinie saw him cushion header it down for AhCool to sidefoot home as the Eclectico players cried for offside.
8-0: The goalscoring continued for us thankfully as the noisy Alvin sped away from his marker before laying the ball unselfishly into the path of Dinietov. The man worked himself a yard of space in the box before finishing well past the last ditch tackle from the defender and under the body of the keeper.
9-0: Khai mentioned that this looked a tad like a FIFA game moment as Alvin pounced on a loose ball just outside the Eclectico box. He rolled back the years to his dancing days and side stepped 2 defenders and the goalkeeper in a jaw dropping sequence before toe poking the ball into the net.
Game. Set. Match.
Good day to you all and thank you for the efforts shown. <3>
