MOB 5(Sam, Yiming, Gary, Mitch [2]) - 1 Mattheads (some..guy)

Another fantastic performance despite the very muddy ground and disgusting weather conditions for the MOBbers. Although we had a numerical advantage (wel come to think bout it, it aint our fault they din haf enuff ppl. budget matts. hahaha tts good.), MOB was stil able to adapt the shitty conditions of the field and weather to pull of a well-deserved win.

Irvin sat out his 2nd match through his bad ankle injury and might be expected to be off for another one month at least.

Game started off with the Matts with 8 ppl and MOB with a full 11. MOB was presented with a chance to take a very early lead with this kind of handicap, and we did. The Matt Keeper was a brave lad, fast on the ball and runniing out very early to slide in at attackers as close as 10m outside the pen. area.

MOB, at first stunned by the keeper's ability was able to take advantage of this rash advances, and Samuel with a rare hardworking performance skipped past defence and keeper to bring MOB up one goal.

The second goal came pretty soon after as the keepr again took a big risk by running out to the advancing Yiming, who was playing up front now and with Zac dropping back to partner Jon in midfield. Yiming lofted a perfect chip over the keepr to double MOB's advantage and end his goal drought.

The sheer physical size of the Matts prevented much advances from the flanks, one-man advances especially, but these 2 flanks were able to overcome that by the simple play of passing. Sam and Raymond worked very wel together on the left, with Zhi Yang and Aloy needing to brush up on their teamwork abit.

Matts didnt attack much, and when they did, the very resilient and alert defence unit of Mitch and Jon was always there to stop them. Jonathan was playing very agresiively thruout the match, and like the keepr, took a risk with these tackles. Surprisingly he was able to walk off the field unbooked.

Mitchell then pulled off an acrobatic and high risk kick to make it 3 for MOB. Corner was taken by Yiming and as in came in, the Matt defence could only head it back towards Mitch who smashed it into the back of the net despite clashing with another defender.

It was 4 at halftime after very improved play by the right flank duo of Zhi Yang and Aloy. Zhi Yang played a short corner to Aloy who played it back to him. A simple passing movement was able to get Zhi Yang space for a cross into the area. The swinger was smashed into the back of the net by the midfield workhorse Gary. with his head of cos.

Matts then pulled one back after they got a free kick near the area. The unexpected shot was floated into the back of the net, as MOB expected a cross from the player. But stil a 3 goal cushion for MOB.

4-1 HALFTIME

MOB made good use of their numerical advantage over the Matts and gained a comfortable lead. Stil the cudnt sit back.

After halftime Jon evolved. He turned in to a freaking monster on the field, sliding right into players, sometimes gettin the ball, (with the player..thats ALL THE TIME), sometimes getting the man. He was very lucky to have not seen colors of the ref's pocket. the ref was lenient and very alert with his calls. Mitch got booked for an illegal tackle, his second in 2 matches. That, my fren. is NOT impressive.

MOB seemed to have sat back after halftime, i mean, who cud blame em? we had 4, they had one. Jon was one heluuva defence machine, MOB cud haf played 1-7-2 with him alone in defence, bcs he was simply sensational with his stopping of attacks. Putting his puny gay body on the line for the team, we all owe him a Colonel. (aldo he din reli seem to wan it.)

The Matt keeper never learnt his lesson from the 1st half blunders as he stil came racing out at very dangerous times. Again he was caught out, but Zhi Yang and Yiming were unable to make use of the open goal as complacency set in. Zhi Yang did get a good cross in at one time, but the keeper was there surprisingly.

MOB then rubbed more mud into the matts as Yiming put a good through ball for Mitch who dispossessed a defender and placed a low shot pass the keeper for his second goal of the day and MOB's fifth.

Brilliant performance lads, we did try passing, thr was the intent, but thr was also the shitty puddles and every good pass we tried to make, we ended up splashing water about with the ball. But the adaptation to the game and conditions were good, and we should not think we won becs we had more ppl. more ppl widout skill is useless. The Matts were much bigger sized, and very strong at that, so our trick, flair, passing, stamina and speed finished them off. You should all be happy.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS......again! *yawn* its getting boring to keep winning. hehh!!!
