The determination!

Team Goat 2 Beached Whales 1

(Jackson, Joe)

A bad first half but we made up for it at the 2nd. Went one down early due to a clearance mistake at the back but we managed to keep it tight and brought the game to them after the interval. Subs were introduced to keep the tempo up and finally we were able to grab our goals to turn the game over to our favour.

First half was weird and was never our style of play. The ball was constantly on the air which does not suit our asian size. Possession was dominated by the whales most of the time but they never really found penetration till a mistake at the back let them in with a half volley. A good goal it was. To my relief we did not let in another and we kept the score close for the 2nd half.

2nd half was better as ideas were thrown in. Ball now was constantly on the ground moving and our playmaker is finally in action. Stringing passes numerous half chances were created but sadly we couldn't find the net. Joe had a few brilliant moments when he took on opponents but was quickly gangbanged when he got close.  

Our 1st goal came when Kiong was brought in for YongJie. With pace he brought the ball down the wing and executed a quality cross to the back post where i was. With a header back from ME to the back post, the ball manage to find jackson who was lurking and a tap in brought us level.

With 30mins to go we were fighting hard trying to get the winner. Not giving up, Joe attempt to dribble past the defences finally paid off when he turn away from 2? 3? defenders and put the ball top corner past the keeper. 2-1 and we just went frantic. Subs were than brought in again to freshen the team and to keep the score. 

A team effort game as well where all of us played together as a team. We showed our determination and we got our rewards. Good win guys. 2 more games to go. 1 more win and we are certain of medals =)

Motm: Ng KahWoon

What will i do without him? Kahwoon is up there again today with his energy and presence in the centre of defence garnering praises from all his mates. Clearance and challenges have been well timed today almost a mistake-less performance. Better come for the remaining 2 games a!
