Eternal FC 3-1 LaTrobe Xtreme
Goal: Rusdi, (thin)Albert and Phillip
They say self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings. But ,on the other hand, over-confidence can be disastrous.
We almost let that consumed us but fortunately, with a bit more of luck and sheer hard work from everyone, we managed to secure our well deserved victory.
I do think that we were sloppy in couple of occasions and we, no offense to LaTrobe, should have retain more possession and should have deterred their equaliser.
Their equaliser was definitely a wake-up call and we responded well, although we supposedly capable of doing more to LaTrobe given the quality of players at our disposal.
Bravo everyone ! Good play and good supporters (The girls' verbal support week-in and week-out definitely contributed to our success !)
Defence: Dicky, Brian, Jason, Adit and Frederick were commendable. I would like to highlight Fergus, the horse machine, he was the impregnable fortress against LaTrobe attack !
Midfield: Phillip's third goal was a great individual effort, salute ahbang, smoking yet perform well! Mono, Rusdi, Randy, Phillip and Effendy made the biggest impact today. Rusdi almost scored another goal from Phillip's cross.
Attack: Although Adam failed to score today but he constructed a few crazy passes (or should I say through balls). Playing up solo, he was greatly outnumbered by many defenders and they fail to tame him!
Last but not least, Andrew, Yoko and The Batam-wonderkid made a short appearance(each of us ).
Goal Scorer: Rusdi, (thin) Albert, Phillip
Man of the match: (thin) Albert
Allow me to describe how he scored the second goal in one word- Luck.
Lady luck must have blessed him! Nevertheless, the second goal to put us ahead and lift our confidence back. In addition, given his superior pace and ball control, he was constantly a threat to LaTrobe back four.
Next week, we have a big task at hand. Balaclava? We are definitely up to the challenge.
