Man Of Match: Kumar

--
Starting Line-Up
GK: Kumar
Def[L-R]: Hairy, Rosk, Vincent, Ken Wong
Mid[L-R]: Irwin, Dennis, Mark Penu, Yang Song
Striker: Elango, Liang Han

On this occasion, we were slow to warm up. Though soon we were comfortable and get into our game. Our opponent though were dangerous with their over the defence passes to the far left / right with their speedy wingers.

The first real threat in the game came when their striker was put through and with only Kumar to beat, only for him to better it by going down fast and collecting the ball firmly in his hands.

ODS finally broke the deadlock from a short corner. Elango providing the cross to the far right with Yang Song timing this first time shot perfectly into the top of the roof leaving the keeper with virtually no chance of saving this. [1-0]

The scoreline remain the same until half-time.

2nd Half Line-Up
GK: Kumar
Def[L-R]: Chi Man, Rosk, Kiren, Tony
Mid[L-R]: Aidil, Gary, ?, Chee Ming
Striker: Martin, James

ODS started this as well as they had ended the previous half. With mounting attacks always looking dangerous.

The opponent though almost equalizer when an unchallenged header from a cross appearing goalbound (this was actually the only occasion whereby Kumar didn't managed to do his save)but ODS was saved by the crossbar.

Kumar then make another few good saves to protect ODS slim lead.

It was not too long before ODS found their 2nd important goal. James calmly put the ball past the keeper into a empty net after he had "beaten" the offside trap (courtesy of the Ref - cos it did appear that he was slightly offside).[2-0]

Kumar again was caught into action again when he came out from his goal line to bravely dive at the on-coming striker's feet to claim his ball.

ODS then sealed the game with the 3rd goal by new-comer Cheen Ming which beat 3 players before placing the ball through the near post.[3-0]

Liang Han who appeared to be having a goal-drought season finally found his scoring touch again when his shot from outside the box.[4-0]

The man of match was anonymously agreed that it was none other than Kumar who in this game produced one of his finest performance in his career (at least since when the editor joined this team :P)
