my team, elias park fc, won our match against hong kah csc 2-1 at meridian jc just now. it was a match we must win to keep our hopes alive in promoting to div2. the situation now is not in our hands becoz we are currently 3rd. we dun derserved to be in this position in the first place wif the way we played in this league but wat to do.. sometimes not everything have happy endings. i was late for the match but luckily the match haven't start yet bcoz there was another ongoing match. i managed to make in the starting eleven as my coach still tick my name even though i was late. i was also wearing my new nike taser boots. haha.. the feelin very comfortable! i was deployed as a striker initially but was force to drop back to midfield in a tactical switch after my teammate johnny got sent off for retaliation. luckily the ref also sent off the opponent as well. i had two long range shooting chances went way over the bar. haha.. still not getting use to the boots bah. we end the halve 0-0. we controlled the match but couldnt break the deadlock. 2nd half we went more positive pressing them higher up the pitch. our patience in playin football finally pays off went sentilan broke the deadlock with a smashing shot inside the box. we got the all impt goal.. we sat back abit and try to hit them on a counter attack. we managed to score another goal when i received the ball inside my own half. i dribbled past 2 opponents before finding myself wif spaces and i saw sentilan waitin for my through ball. i just clip the ball above the defender and he was through 1 on 1. he scored this time after missin a similar chance in the 1st half. 2-0.. we were realli getting more comfortable. i could have killed off the game when i dribble all the way into the penalty box from half line. but there was a defender beside me and i was running out of breath. i just weakly poke the ball hoping for the best but gk managed to keep it out. we could have scored the 3rd goal when dawood was selfish and went for glory himself when sentilan was just totally open for a tap in (into a empty net). haiz.. soon, our opponent managed to get one goal back. 2-1.. it was tense ending. we make sure we are more compose since we are still leading. we kept the ball for the remainin of the match. soon.. my leg gave way. i got cramps.. major cramp! damn painful siak. kaoz..i exit the game wif all our sub used up. we managed to hang on and win 2-1. good battling result for us... but was disappointed wif my cramp. haha.. i long time nv had cramp liao. guess i ran too much in the 2nd half. lolx.. next week will be a impt game as well becoz we nd to win to keep our hopes alive. maybe our opponent lose them remaining games or even draw, we will have a chance. we see how first.
