Assist: Andy, Jerome, Desmond
MOMs: Desmond, Seng Yew
Stadio Bedok Greenie - Mavericks FC continued their great start to the season with a comprehensive victory over Coca-Cola Singapore FC this afternoon after a blistering performance that will go down as one of the greats.
A dominant display in midfield saw the Outsiders triumph over their opponents in white with Desmond influential in attack as he showed why the owners paid so much for the much highly-sought youngster. And a Franz Beckenbauer-esque performance from elegant centre-back Seng Yew in defence gave the Outsiders a stable platform for the Outsiders to raid the opposition half with veteran centreback Chuan Ji returning to the side as well.
Mavericks FC took the lead after an opportunistic goal from Desmond after a lay-off from Andy which confused the opposition defence. With the Outsiders growing in dominance, Kee Siang once again played like Zinedine Zidane and Maradona combined, with a sublime solo effort late in the first half. The midfield combination of Khai, KeeKee, Darran, Oreo were too much of a match for their less illustrious opponents, as Mavericks FC ended the first half with a comfortable 2 goal cushion.
At half-time, the Coca Cola FC players were looking visibly drained, after been run ragged by a classy Mavericks FC performance, and several fans in the stands were staring in disbelief after seeing several of the Coca Cola players even resorting to drinking rival brand Pepsi as a means to provide them with a much added boost since the Coke effect was clearly not working.
Second half resumed but the Outsiders continued their dominance, and meted out punishment after punishment over their opponents, and the fans did not have to wait long as Mavericks went 3-0 up. A tantalising run down the right from Jerome ended with him squaring superbly to Wei Jie who was lurking in the 6-yard box and he made no mistake with a close-range finish.
The Mavericks defence held resolute, with Chris and Clement looking threatening overlapping down the flanks playing like the munjen versions of the Sergio Ramos and Patrice Evra. Several chances fell to Amir but once again, his wayward Ameobi-like finishing let him down. A brilliant Xavi-throughball from Seng Yew reached Amir who broke the off-side trap only for him to shoot straight at the keeper and therefore extending his goal-drought to 10 months!
But the Outsiders maintained possession with substitutes Harish and Clarence brilliant in midfield and soon, it was 4-0 after a great throughball from Desmond reached Oreo who sprung the off-side trap and rounded the keeper before finishing it with aplomb. And before long, the referee blew the final whistle to send the travelling Mavericks fans home happy. A truly superb team performance, and great clean sheet for Alex.
Great work Outsiders! Let's maintain this winning mentality for the games ahead!
Special mention for Khai as he is our new player-manager coz he so awesome! And Jake Tay Chin Yuen, you might have been our one and only title-winning manager, but we got relegated the following season! hwahwahwaha!
