Down by 3-0 came back 5-5. It’s every commentator’s dream to be involved wit such a intriguing game.
Spiders turned up in numbers although the wheather was not in favour of having a soccer game. During the team briefing simple instruction were given to play the simple game and players restricted to 2 touches max unless goal opportunity where all the individual flair would have to pull out from the bag. From last kick about that the Spiders had at Woodgrove Sec, Capt noticed that Redbacks have the ability to play beautiful simple game with fluid movement creating space and opportunity. It just a matter getting mentally ready before even receiving the ball.
3 - 0 down 20 minutes into the game, we still enjoying the game and we can see confidence in everyone faces to overcome the deficit. True enough the first goal came from the Ming with a well taken individual effort. Then came the Zaini superb flying header off Ayubb’s corner. First half ended 3-2 in favor of the oppponent.
Still maintaining the formation, going into the 2nd half, opponent added 2 more goals, ’gifts’ from Redbacks FC. Formation was switch 3-5-2, where Irwan partnering Faiz to create havoc and opened up the oppponent’s defence. Their defence panic that allowed the Midfielders to inject depth to the attack. Azhar pulled 2 goals back to make 5 -4. Then came the rocket from Mok which saw the game ended 5 all.
We must believe we can continue to play the simple game where we saw every movement having the intent of helping to create space and opportunity for fellow Spiders.
Izan…..wish you a speedy recovery, make sure you rest the muscle.
