Match Highlights 18 June 2006

3 Matches were played on 18 June 2006. Here are the results and highlights :-

Match 1 : Whereda Breadman 2 - Real Madreed 2

Both teams started the match furiously as goalmouth actions swung from end to end. W.Breadman took the lead when Shawn's shot hit the post and rebounded out fortuitously to Hon Yau who gleefully tucked in the goal.

Taken aback by the early strike, R.Madreed struck back to level the score with the goal coming from Oon. Minutes later, Oon struck again from almost the same spot to give R.Madreed a 2-1 lead going into half-time.

In the second half, W.Breadman managed to level the score thru a fine strike by Shawn. Despite numerous attempts at goal, both teams failed to score any more goals and the game ended 2 all.

Match 2 : Rarely Real 0 - AC Melon 0

Great goalkeeping was the order of the day as both teams fails to breakdown each other defences. AC Melon, playing with only one striker due to injuries, failed to breakdown R.Real defences and were consigned to hitting long shots. On one rare occasion where they managed to break thru, R.Real goalie produced two superb consecutive saves to deny Melon the goal.

Not to be outdone, Melon's goalie was in fine form too, saving two point blank shots from R.Real strikers. With not many shots forthcoming, the match played out to a goalless draw.

Match 3 : Celpigs 1 - W.Breadman 1

An intense match, with Celpigs all fired up after being narrowly defeated in the last week's game by AC Melon. Celpigs played like men posssed as they pressed W.Breadman's defence.

Edrian scored Celpigs' first goal as after some nifty passing by the team to split W.Breadman's defence. After the first goal, W.Breadman's defence seemed to have gone to Germany as Edrian found himself one-on-one with the goalie no less than three times in the first half. Unfortunately, he didn't have his lucky boots on as he shot aimlessly at the panic-stricken goalie.

Second half was similar to the first, with W.Breadman attacking and Celpigs hitting them on the counter-attacks. Celpigs were almost on the home run for their first win of the season when disaster struck.

An innocuous challenge gave W.Breadman a freekick on the right side of the field. As Jeshua lined up to take the shot, Celpigs opted for a two-men wall. However, the wall wasn't positioned properly and Jeshua managed to sneak his shot past the wall and into the near post, while the goalie was made a stunned spectator.
