We scored within the first 10 minutes or something.. this guy Chris, timo's colleague, he kinda solo run from their third of the pitch and volleyed a strong shot into the far post. woot!
i didn't play the whole of the first third :( watching from the sidelines and supporting.
Then i was put in as right back in the 2nd third. (oh yea we played 3 thirds. not 2 halves like normal soccer. each third 20 minutes) Basically my job was pretty slack cos the uncle at my side he very lazy just walk around. So i just manmark him and if got ball come just intercept cos he not say very fast or tall or strong or anything. Made some miskicks though :s
Then i made the save of the match. hahhaa k no it's not the save ofthe match but was still quite nice. I made a crucial sliding tackle which prevented what would most likely have been a goal =) after the match they all 'wa alan nice slide man wa that was quite perfect' then i pai seh paiseh just smile and keep quiet la but actually very happy =D hahha. So now can blog SO MUST TELL YOU ABOUT IT. muahaha.
Basically this was the position when their breakthrough came:
I was playing right back, and was watching in case the midfielder burst down. Then dan loh central defence la. corn is the goalie.
Then came a pass from their midfield to their striker, and everyone expected dan loh to clear or something, but i think he fumbled and the bad guy stole the ball and broke through:
(Dan loh is like fallen or too slow to catch up) The Bad guy was one on one with corn! (forgot to draw corn in this picture) . So i had no choice i started sprinting towards him.
CHIONG AH! Must catch him! otherwise open shot and easy goal!
I managed to catch up cos after his first touch which got past danloh, his 2nd touch was lighter cos i think he looked up to see where he was. then the 3rd touch was to control, and shoot on 4th.
So when he was doing that i was sprinting with all my might, and my aim was to slide and block his shot by sliding in front of the ball. But when i saw him pull back to shoot after his 3rd touch, i realised cannot already, so have so slide then. So i slid and kinda poked the ball out of position.
Thus i forced him to take an awkward shot which was both weak and off target (think he aiming far post where confirm score) which corn comfortably saved.
Woohoo. =) hahaha. so happy . In the end we drew though, they scored a STUPID goal which i can't really say much cos i never run back defend. (they put me as right midfielder in the last third.. not smart cos my ball control not say v good. but can play i happy already ha.) What happened was they shot from the left side and goalie made a good save.. then everyone yay yay congratulate him.
Then the rebound went to a guy who was dashing into the penalty box and he just fired the ball into the corner of the goal when everyone still celebrating -_-
Yup yup. so highlight of my match was the slide. got quite heated in the last third when they anyhow call offside, then gid loh got angry then scold them. then he push some guy down. hahaha. hot headed him.
yup, final score, 1-1. no rematch please, basketball next time. basketball > soccer ^_^
