ODS started the game with a combined age of over 200 years old in the back 4. The doctors were fast and furious, with their full backs covering the full length of the pitch. However, they were still no match for the veterans. Kee Yong pulled off multiple saves to keep the visitors out. The doctors were scratching their heads, pulling their hair out, as they couldn't find a way past the in-form Kee Yong. After surviving immerse pressure, ODS pulled off a fine move, with Rosk the provider and Liang Han sneaking out of nowhere, and tucked in the goal right under the keeper's nose. Osman had a few good chances but the opponent keeper had to do extremely well to deny Osman a goal today. Second half began with both sides being caution, as any mistake would be deadly. ODS almost extended their lead, when a corner from Leonard found Ken Wong inside the box. Ken Wong powered a header, it appears as if the ball was going in, until a defender headed it off the line. Kee Yong continued to be the man of the moment, saving shots that appeared goal bound. Liang Han later came on for Osman. Cheen Ming secured the win with a few mintues left when he cut through the defence and squeeze in a left foot shot inside the near post. The doctors did pull one back after that, but it appears the ball had crossed the line for a goal-kick, but referee was too far away from action. Liang Han could have added a second to his name, but his shot was denied by the crossbar in the dying minutes. ODS survived with a narrow victory, but not without hard work from everyone. 2-1 it ended, with the doctors left to nurse this bitter wound.
