Elites 5 FC Dynamo 2

It was back-to-back victory for team Elites as we scored 5 goals at Yusof Ishak Secondary. The first goal was a delightful long ball from Joseph that the opposition defender failed to clear, allowing Chieh Suan to control the ball and lash it in for the first goal. The second goal was fantastic interplay between Nicholas, Ben and Chieh Suan which culminated with Chieh Suan hitting it against the pole before Ben finished it. The goal was his second in as many games. Weilie, unfortunately, sprained his ankle and Zhen Ping had to substitute him just after 20minutes. Zhen Ping almost had a spectacular goal but he was denied by the crossbar and Nic with a similar effort. In the meantime, FC Dynamo managed to peg a goal back and continue to pile on the pressure as they hit the pole twice.

In the second half, Elites managed to score 3 more goals. The third, a through ball by Nic which Chieh Suan comfortably scored. The fourth, a great solo effort by Nic which ended with a nice slot and Jun Xiang with the last, beating two defenders and the keeper. We should have had another goal in the process, where Joseph was adjudged to be offside which wasn't the case. The opponents managed to get another goal back but it was too little too late. The match ended 5-2 to team Elites. A big thank you to FC Dynamo and the referee for the match.

Man of the Match: Nicholas

He created numerous good opportunities and held up play well in the middle of the park. He was eventually rewarded with a goal and an assist.

Honourable Mentions: Chieh Suan, Ben, Yan Yuan and the whole defence line

4 goals in 2 games. That says it all. However, he could have scored alot more had he been more alert.

The left side of today's lineup did extremely well. Yan Yuan was alert to danger and many a times did well to clear the ball, one of them being a superb tackle while being on the backfoot.

Ben tortured the right back and the opposition defence with his "dancing" feet and delivered deadly crosses into the box. He was responsible for two goals too.

It was another disciplined play by the defence line and the goalkeeper. Clarence kept us in the game with several good saves and his alertness to come out to claim balls was great. Yeewee, Joseph and Jiajie too played well to nullify the threat of FC Dynamo's strikers.
