Stalemate

Team Goat 1 Premier FC 1

(Khaled)


A decent size pitch for a decent game. 


Saturday's game was what everyone would call as a 'can forget about it' game. It looks like no strategies was used during the game and 90mins of our lives were gone in a flash. Except for a few brilliant moments when we were able to string passes together, the rest of the time we were fighting hard with Premier to win back our ball. Chances galore for us but once again we find it hard to find the goal that would separate both sides.


However, Khaled's goal was worth mentioning as Jack went up the flank to support Yongjie's in attack. Being surrounded by Premier, Yongjie was able to pick a pass to Jack who was left open in the centre right midfield area before Jack gave a defence splitting pass to Khaled who was able to remain onside. Having nerve's of steel, Khaled cooly placed the ball towards keeper's near post.


However a mistake at the backline during Premier's free-kick led to their equaliser but no one was to be blame for it. But a lesson is to be learnt that we should always expect the unexpected and should never put our guards down!


I would take this game as a 2points lost instead of a 1 point earn as we have had the ball for longer period of time and created far more chances than the latter had. 

Motm: Thaddeus
Gathering form from last week's performance Thaddeus remained instrumental in Goat's midfield on Saturday. Fighting and winning balls all around the pitch and giving cross field passes with precise execution. Although he may not have many MOTM moments but we all agreed that he is the UNSUNG HERO for the team. A quiet but important figure for the team! =D

Till next weekend when we meet Naranja!

Kambeng!
