Starting Line-up
Line-up
Samuel, Nevin, Joel, Chew Teng, Jun Xiang, Daryl, Kenneth, Sheng Jie, Kenny, Kelvin, Pravin
While some of the players return for our 3rd match, a few of the guys who played in the previous match wasnt present. The team welcome back Kenny, Chew Teng and Kelvin, but absentees include Tim, Shi Jie and Jun Rong. 2 new players joined us, Pravin and Kenneth. We thought it was going to easy, but soon we’re going to be prove wrong.
The opponents were a group of staffs from DSTA (as seen from their jerseys), with a few pretty exceptional players including a “Brazilian” looking striker! Just a few minutes into the match, this “Brazilian” outrun Daryl, then Nevin, and from the slightest of angle, slot the ball into the far corner past Samuel into the net! 1-0. We knew it was going to get worse! Wave of attack by the opponents followed up and soon we were 2 nil down! A looping shot by this white hair guy dipped over and hapless Samuel to make it 2-0! And for all their attack, we could only return 1 shot on goal, courtesy of a free-kick by Pravin.

2nd half was the same old story! Though we did manage some better moves, and also intensive pressing into the opponent half, our lack of skill and teamwork was there for all to see! From a corner, once again, the white hair guy rose above our packed defence to head home their 3rd goal. Then a disastrou clearance from Jun Xiang allowed the opponent to snatch the 4th goal as the ball spin backwards when he attempted to clear it! However, there were some positive as Kenny made some spectacular save, inlcuding a one-handed dive to keep the scoreline low! Jun Xiang and Nevin also improved from their previous performance while Joel turn in another good performance with some important goaline clearance!

To sum it up, we could have lost more if not for the respect shown by the opponent! We need to improve, and also a more aggresive spirit towards the game! It’s time we shed off the “whipping boys” tag!
