Evergreen

REPORTED BY Ken Wong
Full Time: ODS 4 - 1 Evergreen (Half time: 2 - 1)
Scorers: OG, Osman, Gary x2
Man Of Match: Kumar

--

First goal of the game was very much of the usual blooper you would see on tv.
Ken Wong sent a long cross into the opponent's half. The defender collected the ball, and under no pressure, decided to pass the ball back to his keeper, but he didn't realise that his keeper had already stepped forward to collect the ball. Thus, the pass was beyond the keeper's reach, and it bounced into the goal.

1-0

Both side played a really disciplined game at the back and the keepers were rarely troubled.
Evergreen pulled level when there was some mis-communication between Kiran and Kumar. Kiran was showing the striker to the touchline and away from goal. And he instructed Kumar to stand on his line. Kumar, feeling safe to step forward (rare occasion) moved forward, and the striker cheekily chipped the ball over him from a very tight angle for the goal.

1-1

Osman showed that he's better at taking freekicks than penalties. 20yards away from goal, he curled the ball around the wall and into the top corner to put ODS ahead again.

2-1

Half Time

Second half, Evergreen had a few chances but could not really trouble Kumar. Kumar was at his top performance on this day, denying all the goal bound chances.

Gary, a second half introduction, in his shining yellow boots, scored a brace to move himself up the goalscoring charts.
