Khai's Strike Inspires First Win of Season
Final Score: Mavericks 1 - 0 Schwartz Star FC
Scorer(s): Khai (30)
Assist: Xing
MOM: SAR
The Outsiders entered the pitch as dark horses after last week's horrifying loss. A seemingly revitalised defence, previously undermined by boozing, complacency and some sleepiness, deterred the opposition time and again, as keeper Alex was hardly troubled throughout the game.
A quick throw-in from Xing found Khai inside the box, as he outmuscled 2 defenders before sending a screamer past the keeper.
The lead could have been extended as Jerome, Khai, Seng Yew all had their chances at goal but had seemingly no luck. The match also saw young trialist Afif, whom at 17 years of age, became Mavericks' youngest ever player to be fielded. Is this a sign of the club's future direction?
The match saw 3 possible contenders for the MOM award. Khai was inspirational on and off the pitch. Chuan Ji, mistaken by the last week's opponents as Mavericks' makeshift defender whose real occupation was a ball-juggling performer, showed why he was still the first-choice centreback of Mavericks.
However, Clement narrowly outshone the two, making effective contributions in both defence and attack down the left flank. The ex-wonderkid was first talent-spotted while playing in a dust-filled hangar in the rural districts of Seletar 4 years ago and signed for a nominal fee. And it seems that he is likely to become the best bargain Mavericks had so far.
Btw, who says sexy black is a jinx colour?
