It has to come, we knew it. But to concede defeat against Greyhounds, whom we knew we are capable of inflicting much more damage on them, was a tad agonising. Gan had a couple of certain goals cleared off the line and another coming off the woodwork, Teck Wah had a point-blank scorcher brilliantly tipped over by Greyhounds' keeper and another couple of half chances from Teck Chye and Mike, our efforts were simply insufficient to avoid the inevitable, the first defeat of the season.
Greyhounds lived up to the spirit of the no-nonsense breed, hounding us for every ball and driving us to the edge whenever we had the ball. 1st half was evenly matched but a scrappy affair. Greyhounds stole the lead when we allowed their midfielder to waltz through half the pitch unimpeded and send in a long ball that eluded every of our defenders for their striker to lob the ball over our static keeper. Teck Wah equalised before the break with a well-taken free-kick just outside the box.
A tactical change saw us seizing the initiatives in the early stages of the 2nd half, only to be dealth with by a sucker punch. A couple of long balls from Greyhounds sent the ball onto the right foot of their striker who brilliantly took it first-time to blast past the half-asleep Brandon. Our misery was further compounded with the concession of another soft goal. A weak corner somehow managed to slip through the grip of our custodian for their 3rd goal. We battled hard but luck wasn't on our side. Agonisingly....1-3 loss.
