--
Starting Line-Up
GK: Kumar
Def[L-R]: Dennis, Mark Penu, Hans, Seah Kiam Meng
Mid[L-R]: Osman, Vincent, Melvin [GP], Yang Song
Striker: Kee Yong, Elango


First half saw a couple of missed chances.
Elango shot straight at the keeper after being put through by Osman.
Yang Song pulled his hamstring and was forced off the field. Aidil took over his place.
Kee Yong got exhausted and in came Gary.
Gary had a good shot on goal with his left foot after a beautiful feint. But keeper did even better to tip it onto the crossbar. Rebound fell to Elango, and with the goal at his mercy, he shot straight at the keeper who was stranded at the far post.
Later on, Elango was released again. He was one-on-one with the keeper but he scuffed his shot wide of the target. Which Mr Sng gave the instructions to him, "you should have dived!!! Just like me last week..."
Towards the end of the first half, Melvin got tired too and was replaced by Ken Wong.

2nd Half Line-Up
GK: Kee Yong
Def[L-R]: Chee Mun, Mark Penu, Hans, Dennis
Mid[L-R]: Osman, Aidil, Gary, Ken Wong
Striker: Mr Sng, Cheen Meng


Immediately after the kick off, Cheen Meng sprayed the ball down the left to a sprinting Osman. Osman crossed the ball to the far post where Ken Wong was heading. Ken Wong was unable to meet the ball cleaning and the ball got stuck under his leg. He then tried to cross to the far post from a tight angle, but the ball spinned out for a goal kick.

The opponent took a short goal kick to the defender. Cheen Meng went in for the challenge. The defender tried to shield the ball from Cheen Meng, but Cheen Meng still managed to steal the ball from him, he made it seemed as easy as taking candy from a baby.
He brought the ball to the byline and cut it back across goal to Mr Sng who was very composed and tucked it home.

1-0

Shortly after the restart, ODS won the ball and released Ken Wong on the right. Ken Wong went forward 30metres with the ball, and crossed to Mr Sng. The defender who was running back could only manged a weak header. The ball fell to Cheen Meng who needs no invitation to smash it from 30metres out. The ball cannoned into the top left corner.

2-0

Dennis was then replaced by Irwin. Ken Wong shifted down to right back with Irwin taking up right midfield.

Opponents were looking tired. And ODS was just getting started to find the rythm.

Cheen Meng continued to terrorise the opponents defence. While at the back, ODS defence did expectionally well to keep the opponents to only a few shots from range, which Kee Yong had no trouble with.

Cheen Meng showed his magic and dribbled his way from midfield to goal and slotted it coolly for his second.

3-0

Osman and Mr Sng made their exit and Elango and Melvin both were introduced again to try to add their names to the scoresheet. That also signifies the goal drought (6matches without a goal) of self-proclaimed "Ready to Score" ETOsman continues.

Cheen Meng having gotten 2goals to his name, played Santa Claus to ODS. He was constantly laying the ball for others to shoot. In an exact replay of Mr Sng's goal, Cheen Meng laid the ball across the goal to Elango. Only difference is that, Mr Sng scored, but Elango blasted the ball wide from 6yards!!!
And it happened not only once, but twice.

Next up was Chee Mun, exact same move, same position as Mr Sng and Elango. Chee Mun having ran up from his left back position, could make no mistake in tapping the ball into the goal. That would be his first goal of the season, and his first ever for ODS.

4-0

ODS continued to cheer Elango on. And tried to set him up. Ken Wong played a through ball down the right and Irwin was racing onto it. He crossed the ball beautifully to Elango at the near post. The ball seemed destined to hit Elango's head, but somehow, Elango closed his eyes and missed the ball completely!!! The keeper was delighted to catch it.

At this point, ODS seemed to have taken their foot off the pedal. A miscommunication between Mark Penu and Ken Wong gifted the opponents their only goal. The striker got past Ken Wong, but Mark Penu was there to cover him. Expecting Mark Penu to clear the ball, Ken Wong was flat-footed. But Mark Penu passed the ball out wide to space and was expecting Ken Wong to run and receive the ball. Instead, he was caught by surprise by that pass and an opponent picked it up and cross it to the far post. The striker headed the ball which squeezed in between Kee Yong and the goalpost.

4-1

ODS picked themselves up and got 2 more goals.

Cheen Meng setting up Melvin, who did a very cheeky back-flick to direct the ball past the keeper into the goal. The goal is Melvin's 3rd in 3games as a Guest Player.

5-1

Gary was extremely hardworking. And he has been a fine goal scoring form. He managed to keep that going, with a well taken shot just inside the penalty area. That took his total tally to 9 this season, 1 short of his total from last season.

6-1

That would be all of the action for this day.

Can someone enlighten me how Ken Wong got the ball stuck in between his legs and still managed to do a cross? How da? Which leg did he execute the cross? The ball eventually went out for a goal kick. Isnt this an obvious mis-kick?

Also, he went forward 30m with the ball... where were the opponent da?? This must be during half time when opponents were taking their break....

i'm disturbed by the goal drought comments.although i will not give excuses(such as having been hamstrung, busy with coaching, fasting,not conditioned properly this season,lack of support play to name a few) like other normal players, i am aware of the immense hopes of ODS that i score every game as a top player(MR SNG i know how u feel).But every player go thru difficult barren patches(except Hairy and Mat, who got no patches cos they cant score hahaha).So i'm more happy that we win rather than scorin soon cos i'm a TEAM player.( Team Player of the Year award should be created....)

Anyway Ken, i crossed for Melvin to score a tap-in lah,not your no look back-flip made-up story.
