Week 4 : 24.2.08

Match 7 : Shiock 3 – Little-Poo 1

Shiock Treatment

There was no love lost between these two teams as the Poos came out eager to erase the memories of their huge loss to the Shiockers earlier.

Poos started strongly and were controlling the game but couldn’t seem to get past Shiockers seemingly impregnable defense. Shiockers stole the initiative from the Poos when Matthew let fly a blistering shot that rocketed past the Poos’ defence and keeper for the first goal.

The goal seemed to deflate the Poos and a defensive blunder shortly after allowed Henry to score Shiockers second goal. Hurted and bruised, the Poos recomposed and managed reduce the deficit when Lil’kev’s cross found Oon who struck the ball mercilessly into goal.

Charged up, the Poos’ momentum was interrupted by the half time whistle and change of court. Again, the Shiockers delivered another sucker punch when a defensive mix-up saw Matthew blasting the ball past the static Poos players.

Poos suffered another blow when their main player, Lil’kev was injured and can’t continue. The match then descended into chaos as Shiockers keep halting play and changing their players.

The Poos came close to scoring through some fine works by Lawrence and Oon but for the heroics of Shiockers keeper and the goal post.

Match 8 : Real Madreed 4 – FC Pasar 1

Routed

Their earlier meeting ended in a draw but there was no sign of that happening in this match. Pasar looked lethargic while RM was looking very sharp, especially Edrian who seemed to have found his form after the new year break.

RM’s first goal came when a burst of adrenaline (and rogue testosterone?) saw Aaron the keeper trying to launch a quick counter attack. However, his run was cut short when he lost the ball to Edrian at the half way line. Edrian then have the simplest task of shooting into the empty net. The Pasar players tried to block the shot but were merely inches unlucky.

RM added their lead with a fine shot by Andy from edge of the penalty box. Edrian got another goal with a rocket of a shot shortly before half time.

Pasar resumed the second half looking more composed and managed to match RM move for move. However, it was RM who scored when Jeshua, who was threatening whole day long, rounded the keeper expertly to slot home RM’s third.

Pasar fought back gamely and breakthrough came when Jongchiueh produced an electrifying solo run on the right flank that ended with a goal that got the crowd cheering. Sadly, the goal came too little too late to save Pasar, who’s still looking for their first win.
