Pei-Hwa Putonghua Grassfields, Yunnan Province, China - Mavericks FC kicked off the new season with a satisfying hard-fought victory against a technical PJFC team on a cloudy Saturday afternoon. Outstanding performances by malay-korean star forward Khai and Chinese national centreback Jake Tay capped off a great start to the season. Despite losing a 2 goal lead in the 2nd half, the Outsiders fought back with another masterclass display from Apple Kee Siang in midfield alongside Wei Jie.
A difficult first half ended goal-less, with PJFC having the better chances. Mavericks FC had its fair share of chances, notably, veteran striker Amir Shearer who once again missed an open chance, thereby extending his goal drought to 9 months. Even Torres is better. Or Shola Ameobi.
The 2nd half started well for the Outsiders as they gradually got a grasp of the midfield battle, and before long, a brilliant threaded pass from Kee Siang sent Khai clear, who brushed off the challenges of two defenders before lobbing the keeper to break the deadlock. Soon, the Outsiders made it two-nil, with another enterprising display from new signing left winger Wei Lian who broke down the left flank before squaring it for Vic to tap it home with the easiest of finishes.
However, PJFC managed to claw their way back into the game, first with a Darran-inspired blatant dive in the box which lead to the penalty given by the Asian Howard Webb. The Asian Howard Webb was an angry man throughout, fcuking Jiun Wei and Alex for shouting at him. Really Howard Webb sia. Asian version. And soon, it became 2-2 after a miscommunication in defence.
But the Outsiders showed great spirit, and Khai made it 3-2 with an exquisite long range curler which hit the upright before the ball nestled into the bottom corner of the net. Classy finish sia Khai Dindane. And the SNSD "Mr. Taxi" dance ensued afterwards. Classy dance sia Khai Diniesta.
Mavericks FC had calmed the storm from a resurgent PJFC and it was just a matter of seeing the game off. A long punt from Harish was cushioned downwards with a header by Amir into Wei Lian's path. Wah really like Shola Ameobi sia. And Wei Liang wrapped it off with a stunning lob over the keeper from outside the box for an awesome goal! 4-2.
The Outsiders saw the game off, and did well in the final exchanges, as their opponents begun losing their spirit. And before long, Howard Webb blew the whistle for full time.
This was a spirited display from the Outsiders, and this sets the team nicely as they aim to get out of the doldrums of this lowly 2nd tier of football in this division. If Newcastle can do it, so can you! Great win guys. Let's continue this. We have broken the trend of losing our first match of the season. Every season. Goodgoodverygood.
Wah I write report sia. Got miss me? *muacksies*
