We battled hard in the 1st half which ended in a stalemate and after the half-time break the team marched back into the field determined to score and put 3 points in the bag. And Yes! we did fight (3 yellow cards!) and we eventually got our goal thanks to an individual effort from WeeKiong but luck wasn't on our side as the opp equalized in the dying moments of the game with an own goal by kahwoon. (It was not his fault and none was blaming him for his own goal which led the team to a draw. He had to head the ball if not the opp behind him will finish it away as well.)
Today was also a day where we were shown how heroes can be villains as well.or Villains redeeming himself haha!
1) Kahwoon with a header assisted Weekiong in scoring his goal but unfortunately scored an owngoal in the dying moments with his head again!
2) WeeKiong missed a penalty at the start of the 2nd half but eventually managed to redeem himself after scoring the wonderful goal.
Personally, i felt that today's game was ours to be won. We controlled the game, played well, have many decent chances, like the one which fell to Yiwen during the 1st half. We were just unable to win it. Yes we can blame it on the ref for being biased or luck wasn't on our side. But i'm still going to give credit to Tour d'France as they are really well-organised team in the middle of the park trying to break our play whenever we try to flow through the middle.
Also i would like to thanks everyone who came down for the game, as i would like to mention this again, we are an amateur team all of you guys who are playing football for Team Goat is not being pay and instead you are paying us to let you play! haha! so i really appreciate the effort that you guys are making week in week our for the team and being part of the committee, i will try my best to talk to the captain and manager to have more playing time for you guys who don't get a lot of minutes on the field and try to come out with more kick-about or outing together as a team alright? Thanks Guys!
Player of the match:
And the honor for our 1st player of the match goes to our vice-captain JinChuen! Many have performed considerably well today which includes kahwoon and Weekiong but the Captain and I have felt that JinChuen was influential today! The Gareth Bale of Team Goat? We never thought that JinChuen was that good being on left back or left wing than being in the centre of defence where he usually played. Today due to Ariel's absence he was given a chance to play there for the team. His runs to overlap Manfred on the left wing and dribbling pass opp definitely was the highlight of his performance yesterday. Not to forget it was his runs that forces the opp to foul him in the box to earn our penalty. So here it is, congrats to JinChuen for being our 1st Team Goat Player of the Match!
Updates for the next game will be posted up shortly when we have news from the website. Meanwhile do stick around the blog and definitely i will try to post videos or interesting things up to freshen up the blog!
Team Goat!
