First and the Last

Team Goat 3 Standard Chartered 3

(Melvin. Jackson, Tin)

A scoreline for an exciting match though we would have thought we should have won. Plenty chances went astray as we pushed for the equaliser.

The game start off on the front foot for us as Melvin latch on to a freekick from weiming which brought his first goal for the team. Than standard push and got a soft goal when i was unable to keep hold of the ball, just a reminder how much difference a goalkeeper can play. 

The 2nd goal was really something as we could only see it on a tv. A pass picked up by tin was sent to weiming where he managed an excellent back heel for the onside jackson to latch on to. With a simple push the ball went to the farpost. Soon standard equaliser when they breakthrough our backline. =(

2nd half started and as we push for the winner the kanchiong spider me release a ball for joe but was too rubbish that it went to the opp keeper. Which he than lobbed me. An our equaliser couldnt come at a later time. Exactly when the ref say last attack of the game, Kiong's corner was able to find Tin in the box. Getting a free header, he found the net and a point earned!

This is definitely a 2 points drop by us as all of us thought that we could have easily won this game. Being football, no one can predicts them and a point we will take. Next week shall be a break for us and good luck for those taking exam and to Yongjie for his son! Congrats bro!

Motm: Weiming

2 assist and a workaholic in the middle of the park. No one else in the team really come close to winning this weekend's man of the match award than him. Since his decision to improve himself to help the team, he have really step up his game and i should warn the centre mids to up their game as well to keep their spot! 

Kambing!

Teamwork!

Team Goat 3 Hibs 1

(Jackson, Kiong, Ian)

A game that i really look forward to and it really came off well when both sides have many chances. We claimed ours and definitely came off deserved winners for this tie. 

Started off strongly when we keep the ball and started attacking the opp goals. 1st goal came early when the keeper could not keep hold of the ball and let the rebound get to jackson for an easy goal. Than came kiong with his blast from outside the box. Lastly came ian's BPL like header to the top corner leaving the keeper haplessly standing on his ground.

Other key highlight of the game is our centre backs controlling the game when opp cant get pass the defense.  Melvin taking on their no.7 have to be a key highlight where he totally silent the opp and so is jack doing his job to silent him at 1st half.

Other highlight include yangshan's dribbling skill when he got past 3 players not once but twice and still refusing to shoot. Apparently his Square button should be spoilt. hehe

Than came tin's controlling the midfield. Totally like a master stringing passes together like he owns it. No matter was it defensively or attacking he is now part of the team. 

The team have definitely up their standard this time round and i urge everyone to step up their game to earn their spot in the team and be apart of the team. I felt left behind now and is going to be more focus and work even harder in upcoming games. Good good guys. See you guys in 2 weeks time. 

Motm: Ian

The defense have really been the highlight of this season. Last season we already see kahwoon showing his skills now is both melvin and ian. Ian have really up his game before his exam break and a goal to seal off his performance was simply outstanding. All the best for your exam, see you soon!

Kambing!

Meeting old friends

Team Goat 1 Vnpnus 0

(Jackson)

Classic Goat back in action as we emerge winner from a close encounter with our old friends VNPNUS from D2D league. Glad to see them again.

The game was close as both team set up with great intent. 2 teams shows good passing football and skills but  a goal from our captain made the difference. Control was out of this world as his 1st touch kept the ball in the air which than leads to a few juggling touches before setting himself up for the kill. 

Passing was great and our new signings are showing their worth esp bambang and melvin who seem to have gotten use to how we play. Great combi from them at the back.

Vnpnus mainly uses diagonal ball against us, like what Ian say, the idea was good but we are able to handle it. Other than that few chances were created by them and we manage to got a few but their keeper were up to the task. 

One thing i must mention is that our free-kick today was of HIGH quality. As we truly went close 3/4 times as all just seems to just skim pass the post. 

A good game all together and lets rest well for our game next week!

Motm: Melvin Tang

Someone once told me, when goalkeeper let in goals, it was not his fault but is the defence's. As their duty was to protect the back line. (someone from our team forgot who said that) And this was what had happened. Melvin performance was top today where he protected the keeper throughout. Committing to every challenge and tackle to get the ball away to safety. What was exceptional was that the keeper have only 1 save to make. Junguang should be damn piss that his chances of MOTM is getting lesser with a much stronger defense. =)
