Referee was super early. He even checked out the corner flags and nets.
However, opponents were late and game was delayed.

Game started with opponents having only ten men. ODS started their usual attacking football, but was unlucky not to get ahead early with Liang Han and Elango missing a few shots in front of goal.

ODS finally got the breakthrough when Ken Wong whipped in a cross that found Osman (trying out a new pair of boots) at the far post. Osman showed his world class skills by bringing the ball under control superbly and rounding the defender and keeper before slotting it into the goal.

1-0

The opponents got back into the game shortly, with a goal that had strong calls for an offside.
It started from a corner, and the ball was cleared just beyond the box. A shot was taken from outside the box, which Kee Yong did well to parry the shot. The rebound fell to another striker, who was in an offside position when the shot was taken. Referee failed to spot that, and awarded the goal.

1-1

ODS continued their fine form, Osman after beating a few defenders with his dribbling skills, sent in a low cross from the left, Elango did not disappoint us this time, scoring to put us ahead again.

2-1

ODS continued to punish the opponents with Liang Han using his physical strength to hold off his marker.
Ken Wong took a long throw-in deep into the penalty box, Liang Han did a simple flick on, Berg timed his run to perfection and did a simple tap-in for his first ever goal for ODS.

3-1

The opponents were threatening on the break, they were fast down the wings, and ODS were somewhat exposed. (Maybe because Tony is not around?)
ODS soon extended the lead even more. This time, the goal pretty comical. Ken Wong took another long throw-in right into the box. There was some confusion in the defence, and the defender wanted to clear the ball. But he striked the ball straight into Elango, and the ball rebounded into goal. Elango would claim the goal.

4-1

Next to get onto the scoresheet was Irwin. Liang Han did all the hardwork, his run and dribbling, and he was under pressure from his marker.
He had a heavy touch which pushed the ball slightly further away. Irwin went rushing in and slide the ball past the keeper.

5-1

ODS was under pressure with 3 consecutive corners. In the first two, ODS barely survived, with one fierce shot that cannoned off the post. In the third corner, there was some miscommunication between Kee Yong and Denis as they clashed into each other when they both went for the ball. The ball came straight from the corner and into the side netting.

5-2

Liang Han finally got his name on the scoresheet, with a perfectly timed run that beat the offisde trap following a freekick by Osman. He collected the ball, and neatly put it past the keeper.

6-2
