scorers: edmund, leonard, bobby, yewtze
attendance: 33.000
report: this match was completed some weeks ago, but the reporter kind of lost his script, hence the delay. but here goes: mingwei, friend and childhood training partner of lobos' yewtze and a missing wee leong, brought his team to challenge a lively looking lobos, who is having a mini revival of sorts. having not located a ground to the satisfaction of both parties, ntu stadium provided the neutral battlefield.
leonard, after some excellent performances outfield, showed that versality and a failure to appease your gaffer could be detrimental by starting in goal. long lost rock wee theng lined up against recently traitorous congjing in a tried-and-tested defence. yewtze continued his good attendance with a role in the marauding circle, with edmund and jx completing the usual trio in attack.
with cj contributing with his energetic runs from the back, the lobos caused the kakis no end of trouble. wee theng repelled any attack that the opposition could muster, while leo managed to look more sian than he usually did. meanwhile, jx hit the post early on, after some good work by cj. after much confusion over an over enthusiastic center midfielder, which yewtze pointed out as the main physical damage dealer, edmund scored a poacher's goal by slotting home.
having been unleashed from his mundane task as a bored keeper, leo continued his rich vein of goalscoring form by netting a long range shot. shortly after, substitute and sleepy-looking bobby scored with a bullet header after a fantastic, pinpoint, almost unreal cross from a nonchalent looking jx. yewtze then scored a goal that was so sneaky that it couldn't be remembered. salas then missed a whole host of chances. and then with the score at 4-0, jx continued his own record of conceding by passing to an opponent, who proceeded to run almost inhumanly and score. anyway it was time to end.
