Mid[L-R]: Osman, Irwin, Mark Penu, Kim Chuan
Striker: Elango, Liang Han

This game we featured an unfamiliar backline with the exception of Hairy. We started the game looking promisingly in control of the game, which we did. Although the unfamiliarity among the backline did gifted the opponents some good chances which either they failed to convert or Kee Yong had to be called into action. Elango's initial decision to play Vincent who just recovered from a broken ankle in the central back position was soon cast in some doubts.

Our domination in this game finally get our reward when Liang Han nicely lob the ball from our right into the net. [1-0]

Our wingers, Osman and Kim Chuan(playing in also unfamiliar right mid) also looked dangerous at times. Mark Penu and Irwin also connect the team well in their respective central midfield role.

Osman went free on the left, beat the keeper and sent a low cross to Liang Han at the near post who made no mistake. [2-0]

Soon Liang Han substituted himself out and in come Mr Sng(with a point to prove! cos of Hairy's limited vocabulary)

A cross from Elango from the right found Mr Sng who was executing his half-volley unfortunately at the last moment, one of the defender had a crucial touch to deflect it away from Mr Sng.

Legal Services soon found optimism when they scored a header goal through corner kick. [2-1] We seems to have concede a number of our goals this year in particularly to corner kicks...

2nd Half Line-Up
GK: Kee Yong
Def[L-R]: Hairy, Yang Song, Vincent, Chi Man
Mid[L-R]: Osman, Irwin, Mark Penu, Kim Chuan
Striker: Sng, Elango

From the start, the renewed hope after their goal before the half time seemed to work well as Legal Services does look more dangerous when they attacked. A long ball over our left defence which did not look dangerous subsequently ended up in goal. A toe-poke from the striker into a small angle near corner appeared to be well covered by Kee Yong but somehow it squeezed past him into goal.[2-2]

Having this equalizer speed boosted their morale, and they were playing more in confidence as the time tick in the 2nd half.

Mr Sng soon found himself going to meet another cross with another volley, alas again a defender had a crucial touch deflecting the ball off what could be the path for Mr Sng's impending volley.

Soon, the MOM-Liang Han rose to the occasion (that's why he won it??) from somewhere in the center just outside the penalty box by floating the ball over a fully stretched keeper into the net. [3-2]

Not wanting to lose a lead again, we continued to press and work even harder! From our own half, Osman released a wonderful through ball to Kim Chuan. Their keeper was rushing out to try clear the ball, but speedy Kim Chuan got to the ball first and chipped it over keeper who then brought Kim Chuan down. [4-2]

The final goal and his first for this season came from Mark Penu who converted from the penalty spot (Osman won the penalty after being brought down in the box).
His shot into slight left though saw the keeper diving the right direction but was powerless to save the powerful kick. [5-2]

Another victory secured!
