Venue was at yusof ishak secondary school where we previously lost a game the week before. Spirits aren't exactly high but at least everyone knows within themselves the need to step up a level. Of course the opposition wasn't strong enough to be much of a threat. Starting line up was Asen, Simon, Jin, Fat and ZhenQuan across the backline. Taran started as usual on the right wing while Chai move to his favourite role in the centre alongside playmaker lewis, while Rixian was playing on the left. Zonghui and Willip started upfront and your commentators and bench for this one, Jumain, Daniel, Xianxi, Kejang, Seng, Nigel and Saran.
With such a bench it keeps everyone on their toes and you have to be in the tempo of the game fast. Started off sluggish but as the game goes on the difference in class is obvious to see as the whiners overran the opponents in a first half blitz. Strange move that lead to the opening goal as ZhenQuan pushed up into attack and laid a pass just behind Rixian and he tried to put the ball into zonghui's path but instead deflect off a defender and into Taran who cut in from the right and latched onto the ball, odds on to score but not before a goalmouth scramble that Taran still got the final touch to. 1-0 and game on. Opponents were restricted to passes in midfield areas and long shots as Asen's goal was rarely threatened. Whiners went 2 up when Simon launched a crossfield pass into the pass of WHO ELSE but the top scorer as he took it on the outside of the his boot and flicked it pass the goalkeeper. Next up was neat interplay as ZhenQuan passed the ball out to Lewis and he sent Rixian down the left, in a move which he squared the ball across goal to WHO ELSE again and he applied the finish into the far corner. Rixian came out for Seng and Xianxi for Willip. Kejang took Zonghui's place midway through the first half. Chai was getting lots of the ball in the centre of the park as he attempts to spray the ball out. Simon too was getting a lot of freedom down the right with Taran also running through several times. There were several chances to extend the lead and just before Willip was substituted he placed the ball against the post in close range. Kejang made a funny fall chasing for the ball and he would do it again in the 2nd half. Seng sealed the first half with a strike after taking the defence all by his own on the left before cutting and finishing at the far post. 4-0 lead at the first half.
2nd half brought several changes with Nigel coming on, alongside Jumain, Daniel and Saran. The match was still very much in control and opponents rarely threatened still. With their long shots coming from even further out and Saran having a easy time. There was one incident though that when he got the ball the opponent still went out and slide at him. He just stared at him but he should really have finished it off with a people's elbow. The lead was extended when Kejang went through one on one and finished under the goalkeeper for 5. A throw in from the left and Chai and Kejang was running through side by side before Kejang either laid the ball back for Chai or shot at the keeper for the ball to ricochet to Chai to finish. Need clarifications on this one from witnesses and suspects involved. 7th heaven came as the move of the match as a corner was delivered and Zonghui retrieved the ball back in left wing position. He crossed into the path of Lewis who needed no 2nd invitation to sweep the ball first time on the half volley with his left leg. And just before the whistle, WHO ELSE sealed his hat trick when simon launched another cross into his path in which he took a touch and round the keeper to score. This way of attack has become all too familiar with this 2 players striking up some kind of understanding. 8-0 and a round-up to what has been a on-off first year for the club.
