Match #43 (18 Oct 08): Roma Orange Crush

on a super hot day, that's what we need! opponent's name is Orange and they wore Roma's jerseys. being crushed was simply not the expected outcome, but it was. the first 5 minutes didn't give us much encouragement. simply put, in that space of time, they had 2 simple shots on goal which give seah no bother at all. thankfully, seah was to continue picking up simple shots the rest of the day. soon, our defence was simply imposing themselves with chiang meeting any dangers spot on, leo & wen stepping up on their wide men and kwan providing solid cover. surprising in the narrow orchid park pitch, there was space and time in the middle for us. st took advantage of that, measured a cross field ball over the defender and teck wah's endeavor earned a corner. his simple but accurate cross was emphatically met by yc's head into the far corner. both teams then simply labored in the hot sun and the half time whistle was most welcomed.

we simply got off to a quick start in the second half. wah measured a simple ball into the path of terk and continued his run into the box. terk, not simply had to fight off 2 defenders to nick the ball across goal causing confusion. wah needed no invitation to slam the ball home with his left foot. then more perserverance from terk on the right to square a simply dangerous ball into box for gan was met by a thumping 'clearance' from their skipper. oh what a simple way to score a goal without needing to aim! by now, Orange seemed a little demoralised and out of juice. they played a high line, simply hoping for the best. tony the ref, famed for simply giving offsites had saved them a couple of times to the chagrin of wah and mike. but we were not to be denied. off another superb interception in our half, we sprayed the ball to the right for our guy to put a teasing through ball across to the left. st chased down the ball and with one defender to beat, he go for the simple. a neat rolled pass to wah in the middle presented him an easy one on one. He simply rolled it in for his double.

and that's a simple and effective 4-0 win. keep it simple!
