In honour of the captain, Im using his line as the title - whatever it means.
For the first time, we had beaten Aces. It was a highly paced game. We were up against a formidable opponent. This was what the tournament was about.
We led through Tyrus. His first goal for the team. The opponent levelled through a free kick. We came back stronger and pushed for the winner which came through our captain after excellent work by Bob and Aizad. We had recorded our first win against a top team. The game was so tense that it could be overheard that the reserves were worried about being called upon.
Bob had an excellent game. He is one without drama or complain. He goes about his business as he is told, wherever he is positioned. He should have been the MOM as he had contributed to both our goals. However, this was a rare game in which so many players excelled and sacrificed.
Captain pulled his groin due to over running. After a lackdasical start to the tournament, he was back to his best in this game. He won so many balls and scored. Mind you he was playing as DM.
Aizad played on although he is suffering from abrasions after a self-inflicted motorcycle accident. Whoever brake so hard during corners!
Khairil in one moment, burst off the blocks to stop a sure goal when he tackled before the opponent could strike cleanly. He hurt his ankle.
Thanks to Sahfari for covering for us during the game.
For the first time, the players carried out instructions to the full. Everyone played hard and pushed their physical being further. There were mistakes and somehow we managed. If all chances had gone in, my guess it would have been 5-3 in our favour.
For now, we will bask in this glory. We deserve it.
