TSFC 2-4 Chai Chee Sec Alumni
It was a match brilliantly played by both sides. Possesion was almost 50-50. However, the opponents made good of their chances by winning the match with last minute goals in the 87th and 90th minutes.
Hyder and Nashiran made it into the scoresheet. Hyder scored after a magnificient teamwork effort. While Nashiran scored from outside the box with a tight angle shot from the right flank.
Bukit disappointed everyone when he could not make full use of his chance in a point-blank situation. He had the keeper going down prematurely but he could not put the ball into the net.
The match was marred by poor decision-making by the referee which caused controversy in the TSFC camp. Most of his decisions were going against us. A goal from Chai Chee should also have not been allowed as the scorer was clearly in an offside position. There was also no budge whatsoever when Nashiran was clearly elbowed in the penalty box. The opponents were awarded freekicks for nitty-gritty fouls by TSFC players but TSFC players who were fouled were not given any consideration at all. Throw-ins and corners were also given wrongly to the opponents.
Mahir was stand-in goalie, coming on loan from Cerous FC, as the legendary Farshad was suffering injuries. The captain played as rightback instead.
Former Bedok Rovers player, Ali, was granted a trial upon his request. He was granted a role as left wingback in the 1st 11 as the manager foresees a great future for Ali and TSFC. He played tremendously well in his role.
MJC 'A' Division player, Obaje, also came on loan. He did a great job as sweeper and captain whenever Farshad sits himself on the bench to allow the substitutes a chance to play.
After the match, the trio of Hyder, Ali and Obaje were signed on a permanent contract basis.
Final scoreline:
2-4. An unfair loss to the Stallions.
