Team Goat 6 Rock U 6
(JoeX3, Dwayne, Tin, JieHao)
Where do i start? Just where?! Its goal galore but i just can't find a way to write this. But I shall take a shot in the dark to come out with a comprehensive post.
We were down 2-0 just from the start of the whistle and it doesn't look any better for us as they were creating far more chances than us. I would say they have at least 10 before we could create ours? Luckily for us only 2 find the back of the net.
Against the run of play, we found our equaliser with a quick doublefire by Joe and dwayne. Both with great skills and individual efforts brought them the goal. But we were down by 2 goals again before the half ends no thanks to a few mistake by me. =(
I have to say this that we played with at least 4 new players today and it took us some time to bond together and when we need it really came off!
At 2nd half, we change a few strategies and employ our midfield and centrebacks upfield so as to close the gap between the strikers and midfields. I too ask the midfielders to stay close to the opposition in order to not let them have time on the ball, which work brillantly. Than there was also the decision to play a more direct football by swinging more diagonal balls into the box for the forwards.
It started off well for us as Rock didn't expect us to play with such a high line. But they got the goal against the run of play which stretches their lead, for the first time, to 3 goals. However, Joe soon found the net once again with a shot from absolutely no angle. Which bring us to 5-3
Still pushing for a draw, I was soon found picking another ball from the net as they quickly prounced on another counter attack and score an easy goal in a 1 on 1 situation. But it is also this time when the game changed.
Tin was able to capitalise on a mistake by the opposition by picking up a loose ball in the centre of the park. Moving towards the goal, he pick his spot and left the keeper hapless as he catches nothing but the air. Than Joe was able to find an open space at the corner of the box where he used his weaker left foot to slot the ball home.
Than it was down to 5mins where we were chasing and they were defending for their lives. A magical moment by dwayne who swung in a beautiful diagonal ball for jiehao who was left empty. Bouncing off the turf once, the ball was in mid-air and in-between JieHao and the keep. With blistering pace, Jiehao emerge winner in the race and heads the ball over the on-coming keeper to find the equaliser.
We could have won the game with a free-kick at the last minute but sadly the ball was directed towards the keeper. But all in all a very good game for us. Which shows our never give up spirit and fight to the end even though we were down by 3goals!

Do i need to say more? Finally our new signed striker found the net! And not once, twice! It's a freaking hat-trick and turn supplier too! A vintage performance by Joe! More goals to come right? Hehe Great game today! Next season definitely looks brighter!
