Team /S Crashes in Opening Game~

Team /S 1 (Vu) Punggol Riverdale 4

Team /S' 1st League game as well as our dear Junxiang's Testimonial game turned out to be a bit too much to handle. With the absence of star korean defender Hanwei, our defence was found wanting.

Our regular keeper Kerk injured his finger during some house activities and therefore he was placed in left-back while waiting for Abiel to arrive. A mistake from Punggol Riverdale almost gave Team /S the lead but only for our Golden Boot ky to put it just over the crossbar. Another great opportunity for Team /S came when Vu found Kenny with a cross but failed to time his finish, running the ball wide of the goal. The first goal came from an excellent cross from the left flank which the striker met perfectly with his head to make it 1-0. The second goal came when our centre back Travers found himself in No-Man's Land miscueing two good chances to clear the danger and that proved costly. Their striker, like a fox in the box snatched the opportunity to make it 2-0. Half-Time!

In the 2nd Half, Team /S continued to be out-muscled and were almost completely dominated in the air. Signs of frustrations were showing as rash tackles started to come in. Vu and Abiel earned themselves a yellow card each in the process due to rebutting the ref and a rash tackle respectively. Team /S got themselves a lifeline when Vu made an excellently placed freekick round the wall and into the bottom right of the goal! 2-1! However, the lifeline was shortlived. A lapse of concentration gave the opposition yet another goal. 3-1. Our Testimonial Man who was having troubles with his toe had to make his way off the pitch.

Travers then made his way off the pitch abruptly as well and Junyi came in. The abrupt departure saw ky drop back as centre back and a 4th goal was conceded. Their striker was seriously wicked sick...4-1. Our latecomer, Abiel, who already received a yellow card earlier committed a two footed sliding tackle on their wicked striker who was really unhappy with the challenge and shoved Abiel's head away created a big Hoo Ha. Abiel got a direct sending off as well as their striker. And the game ended 4-1.

Very strong league opponents indeed. If every team plays like that we would have our time better spent at Europa -.-

Navin (Law Student): If we win the rest of the 23 games we can still win the league, anyway UMBRO stuff ain't that great...

Foong (Faculty of Design & Environment): Everton lost their opening game 4-1 last season and still qualified for Champions' League.

Anybody interested in seeing the Goals can ask from me...thx for gosu video recording JY ^^
