Mid[L-R]: Osman, We Keat, Mark Teo, Irwin
Striker: Liang Han, Elango

ODS got into an early lead, as early as the second minute on the clock.

(I think) Liang Han was "bear-hugged" inside the box and the referee needed no second consideration and pointed right at the spot.

Osman stood forward to take the penalty and scored duly.

1-0

A mistake in the defence allowed the opponent to sneak onto a bouncing ball and twisted his way before firing a shot past Kee Yong.

1-1

At this point, ODS midfield was working well, stringing passes together.

And ODS got ahead again, this time with a stunner from Rosk.
He pounced on the loose ball at the edge of the box following a corner, and whipped it into the top corner from a tight angle, giving the keeper no chance.

2-1

Osman won another penalty.
This time after he was fouled inside the box, and as usual, he fell dramatically.

He stood forward to take the penalty once again, except this time, he did a "Messi" or rather, MESSY.
He sent the keeper the wrong way but also sent the ball crashing against the crossbar.
This is the second penalty Osman missed this season.

2nd Half Line-Up GK: Kee Yong
Def[L-R]: Hairy, Rosk, Yang Song, Ken Wong
Mid[L-R]: Osman, We Keat, Mark Teo, Aidil
Striker: Kiran, Liang Han

Opponents used their speed to their advantage.
Initially there was no way past the solid defence.

But ODS strikers were wasteful too, missing a couple of chances to put the game beyond doubt.

Yang Song allowed a long goal kick to bounce over him, and the speedy opponent got ahead of him and scored the equaliser to send the final few minutes into a frenzy finale.

2-2
The visitors seemed satisfied to settle for a draw.
ODS pushed hard for the winner.
Kiran missing from close range, Ken Wong had a shot cleared off the line, We Keat sending the ball high and wide from six yards, Osman couldn't apply the final touch.

Until, the crucial moment.
ODS had a corner from the left, Osman delivered a good cross in. Elango headed the ball into the crossbar, but the ball fell to We Keat at the edge of the box.
We Keat, this time, kept his cool and whipped a low shot in, that sent everyone, at least all ODS players, who were in the path of the shot scrambling away.
The well placed shot went in just inside of the near post.

Liang Han was quick to want to claim credit for the goal, declaring he blocked the keeper.

3-2

In the dying minutes, We Keat had a second chance after being put through on goal.
He had a better option, to lay the ball to Irwin who had a clearer angle to shoot, but instead, We Keat went for the shot himself but shot straight at the keeper.

Liang Han further put the game beyond doubt after a move sparked by Hairy down the left.
Liang Han collected the ball and neatly tucked it under the keeper at the near post.

4-2

The score remains as it is, ODS recording yet another dramatic victory.
