L’CIE 0 – 4 Eternal (Fergus, Julian, Own Goal, Fergus)
Another brace from Fergus, a goal from Julian, and an own goal sunk L’CIE.
Youngster Gregorius Darian was
brought for the second time to the starting line-up. Effendy who in the
previous two matches was placed as a center back, started as defensive midfielder.
This match also featured debutants Eman Chan and Thomas Loka.
Both team seemed to struggle to work
their passes given the then weather condition. L’CIE’s forward, Hyundai had
been able to give some threat for Eternal, repeatedly causing enough trouble
for Eternal’s right flank of defense with his marauding moves. However, Fergus managed to open the scoring with
a one-on-one finish in the fifteenth minute.
Minutes later, Julian scored the second goal. The right winger made a delightful incisive
run from the right flank to pass L’CIE’s left defense before placing the ball
into the left hand corner of Yogi.
Eternal extended their lead minutes
before the break. L’CIE’s right back, Edward, who intended to cut a low cross
from the overlapping Eman, actually sliced the ball into his own net, resulting
the scoreline 0-3 at half-time.
In the second half, Fergus once again proved that he was
the man of the hour by scoring his second goal of the day and this season’s
fifth.
L’CIE took control of the game with 20
minutes remaining, but they were still unable to create any real chance. This
win makes Eternal level with rivals Kooyong SC and Kooyong United with 7 points.
