Mavericks FC were beaten comprehensively by a highly-inspired Bishan Eleven FC on Saturday in a match they never looked like taking control of. The Outsiders sorely missed the services of star defenders Jiun Wei and Chuan Ji as well as the hard-running of Barry and Chin Yuen.

The team had plenty of chances to come back into the game, but luck was just not on their side as they conceded 2 goals to set-pieces, one of which was scored amidst confusion just outside of the penalty box, as they failed to halt a free-kick which was taken without the referee's whistle.

Winger Amir pulled one back, but it was a case of too little too late as the damage has already been done, and the team could not take the many chances, most of them from counter-attacks, which they had in the game. Wei Long had a shot which smacked the bar while Perry, Chung Wei and Jerome had chances saved as well. Keeper Alex was again their saviour, making countless of saves, but it just wasn't their day for the Outsiders.
