Match #3 (17 Jan 2010): Cleansheet! 2 - 0 against Shades of Blue

Thanks to some superb goalkeeping of Seah, who kept us in the game in the 1st half with 3 great saves, we managed to record the 1st clean sheet of the season, and our first in a long while. The big pitch and the morning sun were expected to be our biggest obstacles but the numbers, with a turnout of 16 players, helped. Teck Wah could have grabbed a hat-trick but had to settle for just 1. A fine move involving hard running of KH, a simple return pass from Simon, a screw-up cross from the overlapping KH, an intelligent dummy by Gan, and Teck Wah brilliantly finished it off with a first-time left-footed delicate shot that hoisted the ball over the keeper. Weng Khong then won the ball in the middle and laid it down the right for Teck Wah, whose first-time side-footed cross carried just enough weight to reach his brother across the penalty box. Teck Chye showed his left foot is just as lethal with a sublime chip over the keeper. 2 - 0.

Shades of Blue almost narrowed the deficit in the 2nd half when their right wing-back hit a Roberto Carlos-like freekick from the right flank but the ball cannoed off the foot of the right post. We dominated the game but we did no further than the 2 goals scored in the 1st half. 2 - 0.
