Kota Tinggi Team

Full Time: ODS 5 - 0 Kota Tinggi (Half time: 2 - 0)
Scorers: Osman (x03), Sng (x01), [GP]Melvin (x01)
Man Of Match: Osman

Welcoming our friends from Kota Tinggi with gifts exchange between the 2 sides. The game started with quite a slow pace which then gathered speed as the match progressed. Our strike force Elango and Han on this occasion though were often caught in offside position.

A few break down the left and right flank were quite nicely executed but often the final balls were a bit short.

The first goal came after Osman place the ball into the right side of the goal post after beating his marker.

The opponents in this game appeared to prefer attacking often from the right flank, and a few crosses came in from this side after Hairy was beaten(Osman never come back defend!). They too had the same problem of a good final ball. Most of the time, the ball was in Kee Yong's hands quite easily.

Rosk and Mark Penu held on to their position well and the backline appeared to pass the ball around with some ease.

Osman soon got his second after executing a 1-2 with Elango(I think), beat one more defender before placing the ball into the left bottom this time.

The game restarted with ODS leading 2 goals. From the restart, ODS seemed the more eager side to find the 3rd goal in order to "close" the game which came eventually after a break down the right with the low cross allowing Sng to tap the ball into the open net for ODS third goal.

Soon, Mark Teo found himself hitting the goal post again, his 2nd in 2 consecutive weeks.

At this point, Osman sub himself with Wee Kiat. A cross from right to the far left found Sng's head who headed towards the right bottom of the goalpost only to be denied by the keeper who had a crucial touch that pushed the ball away for a corner.

Kumar who had nothing much to do till then, soon found himself thrown into action at the other end, having to pull off a fine save for a goalbound shot.

ODS was found today trying to follow Arsenal-like style of playing. Often passing one too many in the box, with few occasions involving Sng and Aidil. On one such event, Sng lay off for Aidil but Aidil seem not wanting to take his shot.

Irwin and Liang Han soon make their re-entrance into the game.

Kim Chuan wasted one great chance when Sng gave him a low cross, requiring Kim Chuan only to tap the ball into the net but he balloned it pretty wide and high.

Soon Osman got his hat-trick when his outside-foot shot from a right flank break found the roof of the net.

At 4-0, it appears the game has been sealed. Sng then substituted himself off with Hairy coming in again.

The last chance of the game came from Melvin on the left. His shot into the left roof net left the keeper with no chance.

The final whistle came shortly and we all then went for the dinner prepared for our opponents from the north and us.

Announcement: 19th July 2008 Sat 5pm Game at VS confirmed.
