Striker: Aidil

Against a group of much younger, fitter and more energetic opponents, ODS rely on their experience to match up to them.

Playing 5 men in the midfield with a lone striker ('cause Liang Han claimed he's tired, or maybe he's drunk), there was limited chance on goal, except for a few shots that the keeper pulled off with some fine saves.

Ken Wong was also very lively on this day, making a few exceptionally well passes and crosses, and an incredible sliding tackle in the middle of the field to stop a counter attack.

The much younger counterparts had restricted chances on goal but they got the luck that somehow put them in front.
With a hopeful cross into the penalty area, keeper claimed for it. Vincent made a little flick with the back of his head towards the keeper, but Denis somehow managed to miss it and allowed the ball to bounce past him. A striker was lurking and tap the ball into the net as Denis was scrambling back towards goal.

0-1

Somehow, ODS found themselves behind to a goal, against a team that they feel they certainly can take on.

ODS struggled to find their footing in this game, while the young keeper made some fine reflex saves to deny ODS.

ODS soon find themselves falling further behind. A cross came in from the left, and Ken Wong seemed destined to head the ball clear with Tony and a striker behind him.
However, at the eleventh hour, Denis came rushing out and seemed determined to punch/catch the ball. Ken Wong held back the striker and shield him from Denis. But to everyone's horror, Denis misses the ball completely and the ball dropped to a very surprised Tony who couldn't react except watch the ball bounced off his back into the empty net. Tony somehow got his name on the scoresheet, but there won't be any seafood feast for anyone.

0-2

2nd Half Line-Up
2nd Half Line-Up
GK: Denis
Def[L-R]: Chee Mun, Rosk, Vincent, Seah Kiam Meng
Mid[L-R]: Osman, Mark Penu, Yang Song, Irwin
Striker: Liang Han, Cheen Meng

Second half kicked off to a disaster for ODS. ODS allowed a speedy striker to show off his skills, dribbling his way from kick off to the edge of penalty area unchallenged and he finished the move off with an excellent shot.

0-3

Before ODS can really get themselves ready, the next blow came within a few minutes. The same striker punished ODS sloppy defending with yet another shot.

0-4

With tensions building up, and players losing their cool, especially when it seems the referee was protecting the opponents, Osman argued with the referee over a free kick and the position of the wall and earned himself a yellow card.

ODS got a consolation when Liang Han slided both the player and ball into the net following a Cheen Meng's pullback. But the goal would go down as an own goal as Liang Han did not make any contact with the ball.

1-4

The young striker completed his hat-trick with a header from a beautiful cross.

1-5
