Match #14 (7 Apr 2013): An Emphatic 5-1 Win Over Pinkies

We put the dismal month of March behind us and romped home an emphatic 5-1 win over Pinkies. They aren't a bunch of rollovers but our better teamwork, a fact acknowledged by their players, ruled the day. If not for their goalkeeper who put up a stupendous performance in between the sticks, we could have notched up another double-digit score.

Teck Chye opened the account early in the match when he converted the spot-kick, which he earned it after being brought down in the box. But for all the possession we continued to have in the next 30 minutes, we just couldn't produce the next goal until a rare mistake by their goalkeeper who spilled Teck Wah's low cross onto the path of Gan and Gan couldn't do otherwise but tap the loose ball into the open goal. Both Gan and Teck Wah then combined well to set the latter up for a placement at the far post to put us 3-0 up at the break.

Teck Chye notched his 2nd goal in the early 2nd half. A late run into the box, ala Frank Lampard's style, and he met KH's low square-in with such accuracy and power that he made scoring look so simple! Sloppiness then set into our play and a poor giveaway in the midfield by our 'new' player allowed them to counter-attack and score their consolation goal. A lung-bursting run by Kama saw him bulldoze his way through Pinkies' defence and score a fine goal that he richly deserved. 5-1 win, a satisfying one no doubt.
