A game of 1 half

Team Goat 4 Dynamites 1

(YongJie, Dwayne, Joe, WeiMing)

Like what the title say this could easily be a game of 1 half.


First half was a meet and greet affair as both team were goal shy. We did stamp our authority on the pitch and were a few centimetres unlucky as YJ's shot hit the post and rolled on the line. Other than that there was nothing much going on as dynamites played up a high defensive line. With our 4-4-2 formation we were often being caught offside but a few changes in the half do the trick to counter that.


Shifting from the Oldie 4-4-2 to 4-1-4-1 we soon break down the high defensive line with our running from deep. With ball holder like dwayne at the top to control the ball our attacking mids started to make runs. Namely (from left to right) Kiong, Joe, Yangshan and YJ.


First goal came when we counter (actually all of our goal came from counter or they didn't even want to defend) as joe picked up the ball from centre midfield and found a through pass to YJ who is on the right. Skipping past the left back, YJ was well on the way to score the goal that will bring him top of the goalscoring chart.


Than Dwayne does his magic by taking on 4 defenders at one time before being tripped in the penalty box. Penalty taken by him was ascool as his hair looks, it when straight to the bottom left and in off the past leaving the keeper hapless.


A penalty was conceded around the 60mins mark but junguang was well on the mark to save it. (I think i could do it too =X) But sadly we still conceded a goal when the defense had a switched off moment and they got through. 


But it was ok as Joe (who missed 5 games) was back in action and curling a shot to the top corner leaving the goalkeeper being lobbed. And the last came in the last few minutes when WEIMING (name big big for u) was found outside the box. With a stinging shot the ball when to the bottom left. 4-1


A team effort for this game. Without anyone of you we could not have win this game. All the way from the back the keeper kept them out when it is needed although he have nothing much to do. The defense playing as a unit to protect the goal and support the midfield. The midfield showing their class in control and winning challenges all over the pitch. Last but not least the strikers who made runs and controlling of ball to let the game flow. It was an all round performance! Great Job guys!

Motm: Ng KahWoon (14)
It was a tough decision but i would think Kahwoon played an important role today. Despite conceding the penalty without him the defense could have been really different. With his determination and pace he got back time and time again winning challenges and keeping the ball out. With his presence at the back, the team than can attack with comfort and this is what we need from our defence. Definitely his presence will be miss next week when he is away!
