Team Goat 6 Royal City Avenue 3
(Dwayne X3, Jackson, YongJie, Kiong)
Holy cow, Blogger changed the template updater and caused some problems for the tech-not-so-savvy me.
We all had a great season break, and came back spirited and hopeful of redeeming ourselves with a good start to the new season. The weather was blazing hot and we were more than pleased to have Kahwoon, Yangshan and Kiong in the line-up at the eleventh hour.
The game started well and it seemed like we had control over the game, until when a mix up between our defenders and midfielders allowed them to score the first goal without much effort. After the goal, both sides continued in the same fashion, and it seemed like RCA was satisfied to defend and counter attack with their long balls. Not surprised, they managed to get a second goal when Benny commited himself into a tackle and their striker found himself through on goal with only the keeper to beat. It was 2-0 and we clearly had no idea how to turn the game around. Despite being the team being more eager, we too often found ourselves "on the backfoot" (quoting Jeff's favourite line) and we could have conceded more goals. As the game headed for half-time, GOAT had a corner-kick, which YongJie delivered to the far post. RCA made a mess of the clearance and Dwayne picked up the ball and score a wonder goal from a tight angle. 2-1
The second half started with a bang. We decided to bring the game on, and our opponents were left clueless. Within minutes of the second half, we managed to get a goal via Dwayne when he dribbled down the left flank and fired a brilliant shot which hit the post, only to be deflected back into goal by RCA's defender. The siege continued, with Yong Jie and Jackson picking up a goal each to give GOAT a 2 goal advantage. An intentional handball later sealed Dwayne's hat-trick and Kiong also got onto the scoresheet after some impressive team-play. RCA managed to collect a consolation goal near the end and the game ended an exciting 6-3 in Team GOAT's favour.
