A possible victory was up for grab, but the late night outings were to prevent that from happening! Las Hearutsusu was brimming with confidence after pretty decent performances from the past few matches. Somehow, the motor of the team did not seems to get moving as we had a relatively quiet first half. Against the run of play, a toe-poked by Samuel eluded the opponent's defence and Kenny pounced on to put the ball past the on rushing goalkeeper! 1-0! That was how it remain for us in the 1st half as the opponent send in 5 goals subsequently and we headed into the break 1-5 down, not knowing what had went on for the past 45 minutes.

After some re-organisation, we were ready for battle right till the end! Kenny took over the duties in between the posts and that gave our defence greater confidence going about doing their job. The opponent defence went to sleep halfway through the 2nd half and Samuel sneaked in, after intercepting the ball from the last man, and send the ball over the goalkeeper. 2-5! Kelvin Goh's fighting spirit won us a free-kick juz outside the penalty box minutes later. Samuel direct free-kick was tipped onto the bar by the goalkeeper but Kelvin Lin was at the right place to slot the ball home for our 3rd goal. Realising our fightback, the opponent regain momentum and search for more goals but was denied by the outstanding Kenny as he made a acrobatic save to maintain the scoreline at 3-5. Not only that, the opponent missed a penalty, probably due to his inferior looks! And that was how the match ended.

A goal, a missed penalty and an acrobatic reflex save, once again, our vice-captain Kenny Zhu have been chosen as the Man of the Match!
