Elites 0 Team Orange 3
The sun was scorching hot when the match started. Team Orange led the first wave of attack, causing the Elites defence loads of problems. It was not long before Team Orange recorded their first goal. A long ball from midfield landed in the penalty box and Clarence failed to claim his ball, enabling the left winger to nick the ball away for his strike mate and the ball was duly dispatched into the bottom left of the goal. The second goal followed soon after. Joseph made a mess of a long ball, allowing it to bounce past him into the path of Weilie and the opposition player. Weilie could only hit the ball back to Clarence, who parried it into the path of Team Orange's player and he tapped the ball in for the second goal. Elite's offence failed to record any significant shots. Unfortunately in the first half, one of Team Orange's players slipped while trying to control the ball and injured himself badly. An ambulance was summoned as the first half ended prematurely due to the injury.
The second half started despite the departure of their injured player. Both teams were reminded that it was a friendly and everybody must play with care. Joseph started in goal as Clarence had to rush to the hospital for personal reasons. The third goal came as soon as the half started. Team Orange's players stormed through the middle of park before one of them took a shot. Joseph did excellently to dive to his left and parry the ball out. However, it landed onto one of Team Orange's players foot and he curled a shot into the bottom left corner of the goal. This half saw Elites having more possession but nobody was able to capitalise on the chances. Chieh Suan missed a one-on-one chance, a penalty and recorded several offsides. Melvin did well to dribble past the whole Team Orange defence, but he was unable to finish the move. Meanwhile, Melvin had another free kick chance but he blasted it over for a goal kick. Joseph too made several important saves and collected his ball well. The game ended 3-0 to Team Orange.
A big thank you to Team Orange and the referee for the game. All of Elites players would also like to wish the injured Team Orange player a speedy recovery.
Man of the Match: Ben, Yeewee
The only bright spark in the Elites team. Ben controlled play well down the left and in the middle of the park and was able to create numerous opportunities for the team.
Yeewee was solid no matter as a defending midfielder or a centre back. Single-handedly, he was able to stop attacks and provided an extra edge in attack while moving up the field.
The defence did reasonably well with the exception of individual mistakes. Wenjie proved that he deserves a spot in the team with a solid display down the left. Joseph did well in intercepting crosses and managed several important saves while standing between the sticks. He could have been Man of the Match if not for the mistake which led to the second goal. Jiajie and Weilie also did well in marking their man.
The offence however, displayed a lacklustre performance. Melvin, Chieh Suan and Jun Xiang failed to test the goalkeeper significantly. The rest of the midfield too, with the exception of Ben, failed to link up play.
