our referee arranged a match for us against team orange at ang mo kio secondary today. we conceded an early goal after team orange managed to break through our defensive line despite a controversial offside call from our players. the first half was basically quite equally matched and there were fierce contest for domination of the central midfield area because of the limited width of the field. tianyi replaced darryl before the end of the first half as darryl was forced out with a bad ankle injury.

we started the second half in the backfoot again and we were pressed back into our own half as team orange dominated possession. the spell ended after we managed to string a series of passes, with a noticeable chance when wang peng, yeehan's brother, pumped in a low cross across the face of the goal but we didn't finish the good goal scoring chance. we finally equalised the game when yibin and shaowei combined. yibin provided the assist and shaowei scored his debut goal for zelva by placing the ball above the body of their goalkeeper in a one-on-one situation. we dominated the remaining back of the game by playing more confidently individually and as a team.

darryl was outstanding for the match by controlling the midfield and managed a few decent shot from outside their penalty box. finally, i will like to thanks kwee chaung, yeehan and boon gee for playing for us today.
