Elites 6 Reds 3
Today's match mark the much anticipated return of our former captain, Nicholas. As most should know, Nicholas was and still is a very influential leader of our team. Today's defence boasted regulars Joseph and Jiajie, partnered by Yan Yuan and Weilie on the left and right back positions respectively. Ben and Chieh Suan occupied the wing roles, Nicholas and Yee Wee in the middle of the park while Melvin and Jun Xiang completed the 4-4-2 lineup.
It was a great start for Elites as Jun Xiang had an effort rebounded off the goalpost in the early minutes. Halfway into the first half, Nicholas finally managed to break the deadlock by unleashing a tame left-footed effort which managed to beat the keeper for the first goal. More good play saw Nic hit the crossbar with a great free kick and minutes later another left-footed shot by Nic hit the underside of the crossbar and into the net for Elites' second goal. Jun Xiang also had another great opportunity which was palmed over by the keeper. However, all these were undone by 2 goals in quick succession by the opposition. The first a soft penalty and the second, an unfortunate and controversial goal which allowed them to make it all square heading into halftime.
The second half saw a tactical change by Elites with Chieh Suan moving into striker position and Melvin to the right wing. It proved to be a masterstroke. A great tackle by Ben allowed Chieh Suan to wriggle free of his marker, cut in and shoot for the third Elites goal. The Reds are no pushover either as they managed to equalise for the second time through their right winger, who managed to exploit both Weilie and Wenjie before unleashing a wicked shot into the top left hand corner of the goalpost. However, it was all Elites after that. Nic finally got his hat-trick with a clever run down the right with a nice finish, Chieh Suan scoring his brace in a similar style and Ben latching onto Ben's(new member) wonderful through ball and finishing cooly with a shot beyond the keeper's reach.
This was nevertheless one of the greatest matches Elites have played. Credits to all our players for their hardwork and determination. A big thank you also to Matthew of team Reds and the referee.
