Man Of Match: Kee Yong

--
We have exactly 11 players for this game. First half was pretty equally match, both teams having their chances but unable to convert some of them.

On one such occasion, after getting himself free, the cross coming in from the left from Osman found Elango who should be it into the net easily as the keeper was also beaten. Instead he balloned it over.

At the other end, a miss-timed challenge by Rosk allowed the striker to go free and having only Kumar - the keeper to beat. As he was taking the shot, a timely tackle from Hairy forced the shot for a corner instead.

The score was finally broken when Osman converted our free kick and directed it into goal pass the keeper who was at full stretch. It was also the 100th goal for ODS. Congrats to him. It was also the only goal for the first half.

Briefly after the restart, ODS gave away an unnecessary free kick. The subsequent kick which look harmless, relatively slow and should be easily collected by keeper Kumar. Instead, somehow he all so slightly touched the ball on his way "down" to the ground and gifted the ball to the opponent which simply tap it in for the equalizer. Our defence line in particular - hairy maybe should have covered up for keeper. But it was really quite unexpected. According to Kumar, a wind caused the ball change it flight... and after the game, he also mentioned that because of this - he inspired us to higher level. Read on for more.

Osman should found himself free again but unselfishly lay the ball for Mark Teo to get our second goal. (2-1)

Hairy mis-controlled his ball and it fell into the path of the opponent striker, who looked set to race through for one-on-one with Kumar. Hairy then pulled his jersey (outside the box), but the referee awarded them a penalty (At the point just before the whistle, Rosk got back and got a legal tackle on this striker. He was surprised why the penalty was awarded as he was unable to see what Hairy did hahhaha and he got an earful from the referee with hairy "walking" away from crime scene quietly.) - which was converted into goal subsequently.

Not long later, Kee Yong got the ball and somehow beat 4 players before putting the ball into the back of the net with the outside of his left foot for ODS to lead 3-2. Before the celebration ended, suddenly Kee Yong got his second goal and our forth goal.

Soon, Elango and Irwin each also added to the scoreline, and Mark Teo added his second, our seventh when a free kick on the left from Osman found him.
