Team Goat 5 RCA 4
(Tin X2, Kiong X2, YongJie)
Before I get started with the match report I would like to say what a wonderful job sports council have done. Despite the heavy rain, I was truly amazed that the field was not water-logged (despite having several puddles here and there) and we could have a smooth surface to play football. Clap clap
So here we go, a wet day for soccer and another 9 goals thriller against RCA. Started with 9 guys which was the first time after many games. (Where did all our guys went?!!) But we came compose at the back and drew first blood as the opposition was going gun-ho against us. Tin found himself left empty at centre field and with the keeper out of position he drove a lob shot leaving the keeper scrambling back. 1-0
Kiong arrived after his pre-match ritual (cake making ceremony) just after the Goal of the Season. With less weight on his body, he take on opps like having a buffet as usual. Cutting left and right before finding himself with a clear chance to blast the ball into the goal. Blast he did and the ball thundered into the net 2-0.
Sad to say I was lobbed 10mins later into the game. Sad moment after not being lobbed for so long. Reminder to self, not to be caught again!
Than out of the blue, YongJie was through on goal. With his experience mind but nimble feet, he bring the ball pass the keeper to an empty net. But their defenders started to fly in to cover the goal with their bodies. After several WTF moments the ball went loose and kiong was right place right time to pick it up. 3-1!
It was half time and the rain stopped for a while leaving the pitch to drain out the water. The first 10mins of 2nd half was horrible for me as i once again did nothing to stop the opposition to score 2 goals to get them back level with us. (Seems like we can't lead at 1st half)
But we soon got our foothold back into the game and play our normal brand of football. Stringing passes left to right and right to left we soon got momentum. At this time i also need to add that Kawaga, after having his buffet, arrived at the scene and start to show off his dancing feet once again. With his passes we were able to create a few chances and soon led to corners one after and another. Despite Germany inability to capitalise on their corners, We did! at the 3rd or 4th, Yongjie swung in his Trademark corners. Tin was there at the back post for a simple tap in as the ball breeze past everyone.
And our 2IC has definitely frustrated his opp with his dance moves when without a threat the opp just went in to tackle him in the box. Penalty was awarded and our veteran, Yongjie, stepped up and slot in a well taken penalty. 5-3
RCA than counter through their STAR STRIKER and he was able to put in a cross and got a goal back. The last 5mins was a definite nail biter. We were just glad we are able to hold on to our lead and go home with 3 points in the bag.

Motm: Tin
With kawaga late and unable to show off his dance moves. Tin stepped up and have a solo show himself. Goals aside, his ability to pick up passes and defending capability have shown in yesterday's game definitely help the team. Will be sad to lose him for 1 month due to fasting. Join us if you can =)
Special thanks to Jeffrey (yongjie friend) for his appearance Hope your injury ain't that bad!
