match report
score: minyao's andersonians 7 el lobos 14
scorers: zhipeng 8, yewtze 5, sum 1
attendance: 15.000

report: a high-scoring match where both teams played an all-out attacking suicide game that was pleasing to any neutral fan, but not to the managers. a clean-sheet was desired and not achieved, but a seven goal win is still good by any means.

the team started with wee leong in goal, leonard and sum as the defence, yewtze in the middle with zhipeng and jx on the flanks. two goals were scored in the space of the first five minutes, setting the tone for the rest of the morning.

(the rest of the goals are all somewhere else. i only can remember the score being 3-2, then 4-2. rest of them are lost in the sea of memories)

goals were exchanged. it must be noted that though zp scored eight (or nine), he missed around twenty chances. also, the domination did not pay off, as soft goals were conceded. wee leong was only responsible for one, a scott carson error which wasn't a huge issue, but not really a miniscule one either.

one thing to take note was that communication was found wanting. motormouth tze provided much of the solution, but after he was taken off, the formation pretty much collapsed. also, the defence on the wings was suspect, a problem which we always had.

manofthematch: zhipeng
i would give it to yewtze. but you can't leave a guy out when he scores eight.

moanofthematch: drinks uncle
showed a certain lack of enthusiasm in selling his wares, yet the beverages were equally pricey.

quoteofthematch: 'isn't liangfa in church?' yewtze blurts out his reservations about sensitive issues on hearing fa's commitment.

conclusion: nothing to crow about. lets move on to the next opponent with more seriousness.
