MATCH 10 Evergreen United 1-1 Thai FC

Second leg of our league match against favorites Thai FC saw us desperately trying to get some points and to repay their 'kindness' of the 0-3 thrashing by them on the first leg. This time we came up with a strong line up and with a new striker playing a middle striker role we plan to take them down.

We started out strongly but possessions were on their advantage with some through passes as well as 3 shot on targets which i managed to get hold on, on from a free kick, one from the middle and one from point blank angle (well he shot at me so wasn't feeling so good bout that one) but we still haven't manage to push them over to their side of the field and give them pressure. As expected, Thai FC's midfield controlling was top notch...constantly switching sides and having their wings as far out as they could.

But unexpectedly was that, some of Thai FC's players weren't here, probably thats why they couldn't have deadly finishes against us. But nonetheless, one quick touch and Thai FC's striker quickly run in the penalty box and as i stand there, trying to cover the near angle of the goal, but tat moment, 50% of my brain tells me to go out and go one vs one with him (mind you there was 3 defenders on his tail) but before i can react, there goes the shot to the far post that i left too wide open...0-1.

Second half started, and immediately we are hammering them from all directions, left center right, with the wrestler type defenders of Thai FC standing in our way, but work pays off with a free kick from the half way line bounced of a header from one of the defender and into their net ~~ that scores as the equalizer. But we hold possessions on well and kept trying to penetrate their defense and hopefully, the back of the net, but to no avail, the final whistle blew just before that could happen.

Overall, we should have taken them out and claim 3 points, but due to unlucky circumstances........but think bout it, we went from a team that use to lose 1-6 or 2-5, to a team that can out play the top teams, and we still have players on suspension !
