hey3.!

yesterday was Admirals Fc 1st league match of their 2nd season..
sad to say, we lost the match, 3-2..
we gave a great fighting spirit but eventually lost to the swift counter attacks of our opponent..

but, we were to blame too..
we came late..
match starts at 11 but we reached at 11:15 and had to play the 1st 10 mins wif only 10 men..

so AFC, learn from this lesson..

about the match, we started off well..
we tried to attack and tried to hold of our opponent attacks..
our goalkeeper, hafiz, was in great form..
denying our opposite number time and time again..
we created chances but did not put them into good use..
in the end, we paid a price for that..
from an attack on the left, a teasing cross became a problem for our defence and conceded an own goal..

after conceding, AFC tired to equalize but to no avail..
1st half ended 1-0..

2nd half and AFC tried their best to put pressure and find the equalising goal..
soon, it came..
from a unconfident clearance from the opponent goal keeper, found our playmaker, khairil..
1st volley was blocked by a defender, but the 2nd rebound volley, went looping in the net..

it was den game on..
but soon, 10 mins later, AFC concede again..
the morale for AFC were in doubts..
but we give a great fighting spirit..
a free kick from outside the penalty area..
it was taken by our right back, asri..
a swirling freekick deceived the goalkeeper, but hit the post..
jali came 1st to get the rebound after a dummy..
2-2 it was..!

AFC tired attacks after attacks to get the winning goal and left holes in the defence line..
and the swift counter attacks by the opponent was a great deal of pressure..
in the dying 5 mins of the game, the counter attacks was hard to handle..
it prove to be the decisive touch as their striker managed to give a left-footed shot into the top corner of our goal, even with the company of 3 defenders..

final whistle blows and AFC lost..
but it was a great match..!
lets looks forward to the next game aites Admirals..!

and3, AFC had a ghost hunting journey after the game..
hohoho.!
punggol to bukit brown to changi..
