Mid[L-R]: Osman, Mark Penu, Gary Ong, Yang Song
Striker: Liang Han, Elango

The game started very slow and those at the sideline felt that it was like a muted soccer match on TV! It was so slow paced that we cannot remember most of the details as with boring soccer, we do "TV switching".

The very first chance fell to the opponents after Kiran's attempted heading clearance floated to the left of the six yards box. The striker having only the keeper to beat, skied his shot instead (although it was not as high as Elango's).

Often than not, both sides seems to enjoy playing a lot more on our right side. Ken Wong was caught very frequently not marking his player and we had to deal with some dangers coming from this side.

Our first chance turned into goal unexpectedly. Yang Song released Liang Han through on goal, who round the keeper but then took an extra heavy touch, with the ball heading towards out, Liang Han had to do extra work by sliding with the ball into goal.
[1-0]

The scorer then turned provider when Osman's half volley met his cross from the right.
[2-0]

Continued to be boring except with occasional saves from Kee Yong.

2nd Half Line-Up
GK: Kee Yong
Def[L-R]: Hairy, Hanz, Mark Penu, Chi Man
Mid[L-R]: Osman, Vincent, Gary Ong, Ken Wong
Striker: Kim Chuan, Sng

Second half, the pace upped abit.

After some neat one-two between Sng, Kim Chuan subsequently released Osman free on the left. His low cross to the far end saw Sng rocket the ball into top of the goal roof. [3-0]

It only took Sng another 5 minutes to find his 2nd goal and our 4th goal. Gary lobbed the ball over to Sng, who beat 2 defenders after controlling the ball with his chest. He then next coolly wait for the keeper to dive onto the ground before rolling the ball into the empty net. His forte! [4-0] And what a comeback from injury!

At this point of time, Sng sub himself out again and i think maybe Kiran was the one who came in for him. Liang Han then replaced Gary Ong in the middle of the park, who then also received yellow card after basketballhandling some opponent. Yang Song then came in for Mark Penu. Tony also came in for someone, but i forget who hahhaa, then he learnt from Liang Han not the goals but to earn a yellow card.

Marine Sunday should get the 1st goal after Tony put their striker on side who made no mistake. [4-1]

Not long later, we helped to inspire some more morale for Marine Sunday when a through ball was played through our center. The striker was not marked and he put it into the net for their 2nd goal [4-2]

A cross came from our left and Yang Song's attempted clearance with a header instead saw the ball heading for a own goal but MOM-Kee Yong's reflex save put it out for a corner.

With Marine Sunday was looking more and more dangerous, what saved us from a harder match was perhaps the lack of time for them to find more goals.
