Another young team, another inevitable outcome. Both sides had sufficient numbers to cope with the Sunday scorching sun, still players were pleased to be substituted. In contrast to AVB's claim that Spurs were in control in last night's north London derby from first minute to the last, we clearly were dominant in the first half. Kok Hock scored from a free kick near the corner post and Chye smashed one smartly into the bottom corner after a clever lay-off from brother Wah. That we did not score more was our way of making life exciting for ourselves.
Second half saw a spirited fight back from FFF. They scored through a well taken free kick and then equalized after some eye-catching exchange of passes. The game was poised nicely on knife edge as FFF was clearly freely and fanatically fired-up whilst our old heads contemplated how to wrest back the initiative. Yet, under the searing heat, play from both sides was stuttering rather than purring and it became clear that it a moment of magic would determine the direction of the match. It came from a long defence-splitting pass from inside our half played with the outside of the foot which allowed Chye to stride in, round the keeper and stroke the ball into the net. Wah then made the game safe with a thumping header after Mel had created the space to free Gan to deliver the superb cross.
A satisfying 4-2 win.
