MATCH 9 Evergreen United 5-1 MCU

We are approaching middle of the season and is not going into second rounds of the matches we've played before. Firstly we've played MCU before this and were lost surprisingly in a 2-1 score and were doomed by lack of finishing.

This time its the other way around, as we scored our second win in 9 games, and both our wins are in big margin, this time, its 5-1 for us.

We started the game in a 8 vs 8 game as both we and MCU were down on players who were unavailable for the game. The pitch was in bad shape, so bad, that the ref actually gave us option on forfeiting the game and have it played on a later day after the tournament, and that's not a confirmed suggestion, and if the re-match cannot be arranged, its down on penalties! Without taking any risk, we decided to play on.

As first half started we converted one goal in through BQ which was starting striker today and with the assists of a new player who was Man of the Match today, Logan. Logan was instrumental today in the win, with 3 assists and 1 goal from him through the left side of the pitch. MCU wasn't a threat at all for 80% of the whole game and was left 3 goals down when Jonathan add another on just before half time.

Second half started, and as MCU stepped their game up abit and is not pushing their defense and possessions onto the our half of the pitch, and had one or two shots on us but that was it, untill a dreaded corner come crossing in, their player got a head on, and i somehow, just somehow, under my subconscious, push the ball upwards instead of grabbing it, although i later resort that it was beyond my comfortable reach and i would not undertake a risk where i need to perform a save or take that is uncomfortable for me, and risk doing it wrongly and end up as a goal. But nevertheless, the header comes in, and the ball fly spiraling towards me and as i parry it, it was still dropping in on goal line, but i manage to get it almost half a meter from goal line and MCU's striker come and pushes me into the goal net. Almost certain that it was a foul, the ref awarded the goal !

Furious i got robbed by my clean sheet....i keep away from further dispute with the referee and play on, and with 老杨 and 雪飞 each got one for the team, we ended up 5-1.

Furious....mad...>
