Empathic Win Keeps Team GOAT in top spot

Team Goat 5 AAng Football Club 2
(Joe X2, JinChuen X2, YongJie)

Joe and Jin Chuen bagged a brace each for Team GOAT as we cruised through the second victory for the season. It didn't take too long before Team GOAT managed to find the first goal, after Keong took on the left flank with ease and found Joe in the box who calmly volleyed for the finish. 1-0. Game on. As the game drags further into the first half, it had appeared eminent that Team GOAT was the dominant side while AANG was comfortable with attacking us with killer through passes. The threat was properly handled by the defenders who caught a good line, and the strikers were caught offside for almost everything that they brought in. Soon enough, it was Team GOAT who got another goal through Joe from a corner kick. As the first half was coming to an end, another cross from the left flank was chased down by Yong Jie, despite the opponents closing down very fast. His hard work paid off, when there was a defensive mix-up and Yong Jie collects to score a sitter before half-time. 3-0

The second half started the same way that it ended for Team GOAT. However this time round, AANG seemed more determined and eager, chasing down and closing down on our players as soon as possible. That destroyed the flow of our game and we did not manage to threaten the opposition goal for the first 15 minutes of the game. From a foul, Team GOAT had a free kick opportunity and Jin Chuen fired a screamer which beat the tall AANG keeper. 4-0. Another beautiful corner from Yong Jie found Jin Chuen in the middle of the box which headed in with all his might. 5-0. Therafter,  AANG had the better of the chances, and Jun Guang had to make a few desperate dives to keep the ball out of the net.  However, his heroics was not able to stop us from  conceding 2 soft consolation goals from AANG to leave us once again with no clean sheet. 5-2
