Match #18 (14 Apr 2012): Another comeback, a good win

We didn't do ourselves justice the last time we played CJC old boys, managing with a labored draw. Thunder in the distance aside, we ensured lighting doesn't strike twice. Yet we found ourselves going behind for the third match in succession when CJC old boys took three bites of the cherry to finally put the ball just over the line. Our equalizer came from unlikely circumstances. Gan, not normally our corner kick taker, swung one to the near post. With the keeper flapping, Khong reacted quickest to plunder the loose ball from the narrowest of angles.

KH gave his half-time team talk and made the substitutions. We could either fail him and lose this game or credit him with a good result. It wasn't long after he had turned his back to prepare for the Merseyside derby that we conjured the lead - lending credence to his Midas talk! From a throw-in in our half, four slick passes was all it took to free up Gan to apply an accurate finish. Continued pressure enabled us to camp in their half. Their defender dawdled on the ball and he was duly punished as YC unceremoniously robbed him of the ball and completed the humiliation with a cool finish. At the death, Teck Wah did all the hard work before laying the ball for Simon to toe-poke the ball past the keeper.

Another comeback win, but comfortable all the same!
