last sun AFC was back in action..!

a match at punggol sec..
against s'pore pirates FC..
it was a game which the height and physical being of AFC were being tested to the limit..

players were all getting restless cos the ref was late..
due to the scorching hot weather too, most AFC players were hoping for the match to be postponed..
but, it didn't and soon the ref came and the game started..

As soon as the whistle was blown, SPFC immediately went attacking searching for goals..
but AFC defended well and managed to cut down their every attacks..
AFC also had their own attacks..
den a swift counter-attack on the left hand side, saw our left-mid, zali, dribble past few defenders, making a great run and slide the ball to our chief striker, syukri, to score a tap in..
things were then looking great for AFC..
SPFC kept the pressure but AFC managed to stay calm..

SPFC den make use of their advantage of heights to send a long throw from the right-hand side to score their equaliser goal..
the goal though was in doubt as AFC left-back was seen to be pushed before SPFC player headed the ball into the net..
the ref paid no attention to it and the goal was given..

1st half ended 1-1..

2nd half started..
AFC made some reshuffling of players and playmaker, khairil, came on..
his height was a greatly missed in the 1st half..
AFC den tried to search for the winning goal by throwing attacks after attacks at SPFC..
there was a few clear cut chances to score but AFC strikers doesn't seem to bring their scoring boot along..
and AFC paid the price..
SPFC tried the same trick of long throw..
1 of their players managed to give a flick the ball for another the smashed the ball in..
but AFC kept goin..!

in the end, it ended 2-1 to the SPFC..
it was a great match though..!
though we could have won had it been other days..

well, AFC, lets bounce back from this defeat..!
