Mavericks break 9 match winless streak with 4-2 win over Heliocopterre CF
On the verge of becoming the worst football team in football history, Mavericks FC managed to salvage a sliver of footballing competency with a 4-2 victory over Heliocopterre Clube de Futball. Playing without their 2 stars Siangz and Xingz, the Outsiders started off the game on the already on the back foot. For much of the first half and hour, Mavericks were pinned back into their own half, with the defense having trouble dealing with the high jumping sensibilities of Helio's No.10, fat Peter Crouch.
At the 35th min mark, however, Mavericks took the lead totally against the run of play. Taking full advantage of the keeper's old age, winger/clubber Amir deceived the keeper by hitting a free kick towards the near post when the keeper's 75 years of footballing experience told him to pay more attention to the far one.
The 2nd half started much like the first, with Mavericks being made to do most of the chasing. One shining point was the reintroduction of Mavericks midfielder Bob the footballer yes we can who was sidelined for 6 years after injuring himself while celebrating killing a Witch in L4D. The flying boys finally made their domination count in the 55th min when central defender Johnny tall guy who can head very well rose unmarked to head home the equalizer. Helio FC pushed on with an extra spring in their step and took the lead just 2 minutes later when left winger Botak Jones sneaked past his marker Sammyz before slotting the ball home to give his side the lead. Sammyz is currently in trouble with the Mavericks disciplinary committee
on the charges of corrupting the youths of Singapore.
With the tag of worst footballing team ever looming over their heads, the Mavericks suddenly found an extra spark through the laptopless form of Khai. Taking over the spiritual role of the Mavericks captain, Khai drove the team forward with the zest and class of the missing Xingz. Mavericks finally found their equalizer when Seng Yew, recently voted best user of classic Maradonna in Pro Evolution Version 3.16, stepped up to place a free kick past the keeper Paul the pensioner.
With the score at 2-2, it was Mavericks who suddenly were on top of the game, it now seemed inevitable that it was the Outsiders who would find the all important third. Seizing the ball in the 70th min, Mavericks launched a Newcastlesque counter-attack which saw Amir fouled for a penalty. Centerback Chuan Ji seeing his name up in lights stepped up to cooly place the ball into the bottom left hand corner of goal. An onlooker describe the penalty as a shot that could not have been struck any lower. With Mavericks now in the ascendancy, the players played on with a new found confidence and provided wave after wave of attacks. The inevitable fourth came when Amir sidestepped a defender before placing the ball in the bottom corner of the goal.
