A New Begining

Team Goat 2 Big Belly 1

(Yitwoon, Siyuan)

An all rounded display by the Goats proved vital despite their lacklustre of numbers in today's game. With only 3 on the sub bench, yiwen could only do what he can with the squad for the game against the unbeaten Bellies. To his relieved, majority of the main 11 of the team was present than to form the squad. As well to our advantage, the weather was cool and windy throughout the game.

Back from their Vietnam trip (jeff, kahwoon, yiwen, jinchuen, kiong and zhuliang) faces were with high morale as they have faces the most dirtiest of challenges, the most unstoppable of shots and the disgrace of being o'leh (for kiong only) in front of a crowd. They was nothing to fear. And sure right from the start, the six of them was the most recharge in the field, running all over and fighting for every challenge.  The others soon caught the aura and together we played like an unstoppable force. 

Waves and waves of attack was pounded on Big Bellies goal but luck just wasn't on our side as a goal seem distant from us. But thanks to a mis-kick by jeff, the ball found himself towards kiong who was by the by-line on the right. With a flick and a change of pace, he left the left back puffing on his back. A low cross into the box found yiwen who was dashing in. An easy tap in for the joint top goalscorer.

Second half soon started with Goat still on the offensive trying to find the 2nd goal. Unable to convert, big belly found themselves a chance to attack but was smothered by the goalkeeper. Launching a counter attack, jeff gets the ball up to the newly subbed, boonwee, who gave an excellent through ball to our new striker Siyuan to converted it to the bottom left corner of the goal. 

With approx 15mins left, bellies starts to pressure our goal by sending more men into the box. And they did get a consolation with a penalty. To everyone's relief they were unable to find the equaliser as we emerge victory from an energy draining game.

Motm: Ng KahWoon (14)

Back from Vietnam, he is now fearless in any challenges that he goes. Already a Dog in the central of the field he is now like a Lion dominating the area. Anyone who dares to dribble pass him shall now be warn of his presence. Anyone who dares to challenge him for header will be 'hand down lose general' (translate to chinese urself please) His ability to clear the ball today and disrupt the opp's play today was vital to Goat's victory. Hopefully we would be able to see more of that often like what he did last season which wins him 3 times motm consecutively!

Kambeng!
