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..

Admirals Fc are back..!

another week has passed..
and another match was played..
this was AFC 2nd match into their 2nd season of espzen league..
it was played at st wilfred field..
opponent was Helo Football Club..

HFC was big and tall, but AFC had the speed and agility to overcome the physical liability..
the match started off quite well for AFC..
we maintained ball possession and make our way from the back..
HFC though didn't just sit back and wait for our attacks..
they keep good pressure to win the ball..
after abt 8 mins into the game, AFC lost the ball in the middle of the pitch and 1 of HFC players tried an audacious chip to lop AFC goalkeeper, hafiz, seeing the chance that the keeper was off his line..
lucky enough, the lop went over the bar..
but minutes later, a great through ball to our star striker, syukri, who beat the offside line, gave a curling right foot shot to beat the HFC keeper..
what a marvelous goal it was.!

since then, AFC dominated the half..
attacks after attacks were thrown to the opponent..
finally it paid off..
a cross was deflected by HFC defender, sending the keeper the wrong way, and the ball crept into the net..
2-0 then..
AFC were then high in confidence as they searched for more goals..
in the dying minutes of the half, another goal was scored..
it was from a persistence attacks from AFC which HFC did not do well to clear their line..
scorer was debutant of AFC..

1st half ended 3-0..

2nd half started off the same as the 1st..
going 3-0 down, HFC had the urgency to score and they wasted no time to search for goals..
but shot after shot was kept at bay by hafiz..
it could easily go the other way had hafiz not been in his great form..
but AFC did not sit back and wait for the HFC attacks..
they too searched for more goals..
AFC could had scored more, had they not be too complacent..

it was a great game though..!
it could be a different results in another day..
let keep up this form AFC..!
let bring in the glory....!!!
go AFC go..!

catch another league match report next sunday..
