Week 4 In Review : 14 September 2008

Match 10 : Men’s-ChestHair vs Florence&Tina (1-3)
FLT won the toss of coin for the kick-off and Dingdong set the tone of the match with a powerful shot that narrowly missed the goal. FLT looked the stronger and looked really threatening against an MCH team that started without its hair-honcho, Edrian. MCH got the breakthrough when Lil’kev, under pressure, absent-mindedly passed the ball to an opposing player, Honyau in front of the penalty box. One-on-one with the keeper, Honyau expertly dispatched the ball thru the legs of the onrushing keeper for the first goal.

MCH began exert its influence on the game, with twin terror Honyau and Fly-boy running circles around FLT defence. Edrian compounded FLT’s misery when he ‘tonjol-ed’ the ball for MCH’s second goal. Both teams began to step up the aggressive level, resulting in yellow cards for Melvyn, Andy and Lil’kev. Honyau produced another superb individual effort when he turned his marker the wrong way and scored from another one-on-one with the keeper. FLT’s consolation goal was scored by Ryan near the end of match.

MOTM – Honyau


Match 11 : JC's Barf-alone-ah vs Real Madreed vs (4-1)
The match started aggressively, not surpisingly since there at least 4 bulls in the ring (try guessing who). Suresh managed to beat his marker to put the ball past the keeper but to his dismay, the goal was disallowed as the referee has already blown for an earlier infringement. In the ensuing freekick, Gilbert drilled a low shot that went underneath the wall and the keeper to claim back the earlier disallowed goal. At long last, RM began to play like a team and looked to have the upperhand in the match. Lawrence got the chances to put RM further ahead when he found himself one-on-one twice with the keeper but he shot straight at the keeper both times. At this point, JC began to raise the game and got an equalizer when Jeshua scored from a freekick. Lionel, Daniel, and Shawn added the goals for JC as RM’s players lost steam and direction after conceeding the first goal.

MOTM – Daniel


Match 12 : Men’s-ChestHair vs Live-Like-Fools (0-2)
LLf tweaked their line-up to revive their faltering performance, with Kevin starting between the posts and Kokwai moving out to outfield. The move seemed to pay off immediately as Kokwai’s shot was deflected into the opponent’s goal by Flyboy for the first goal of the match. This is the first time LLf went in front in any match and things looked even better when Henry put LLf further ahead after some neat passing. At this point, LLf began to slow the game down to frustrate the chasing MCH. MCH’s game was further dented when Flyboy hobbled out injured. Their fight-back was not helped either by the tired Honyau, as he wasted 3 chances when he mis-kicked the ball after sidestepping his markers. With the other MCH’s players also tiring fast, LLf pulled everyone back and just rolled with punches as they held on stubbornly for their first win and clean sheet of the season.

MOTM – Oon
