Estadio Galleria Macpherson Secondaria - A truly gritty display from the Outsiders on a hot and crispy Saturday afternoon saw them beat a hardworking Coca-Cola FC team today and gained them another precious 3 points to extend their winning streak after last week's 3-0 victory.
Mavericks FC were missing 7 key players, with injuries to Khai (still nursing knee injury after injuring himself dancing to kpop) and Jake (he said he need to let his hand heal. naughty hands) as well as Faizy who went to KL to pick up minahs.
Oreo went to Korea to watch SNSD CONCERT (OMG I AM SO JEALOUS) while the rest had work commitments. However, Kee Siang was declared fit just before kick-off after injuring his ankle in bed yesterday.
The Outsiders had only one sub with the team forced to play with a makeshift backline with Amir at rightback! Hwahwawhwaha. The team battled hard, and deserved to take the lead after a corner from Jerome caused chaos in the box, with Vic on hand to scramble it home via deflection 1-0!
The Coke Men equalised just before half-time against the run of play, with an emphatic curling finish from outside the box from the Short Uncle. At half-time, several naughty Mavericks fans in retaliation, went to drink Pepsi and pee-ed Pepsi pee on the Coca-Cola FC team bus. How classy.
2nd half came about, and the Coke Men were firing on all cylinders, including Coca Cola cans and bottles which are all cylindrical in shape. Nice. Mavericks FC were on the backfoot but soon got a stranglehold of the game.
Desmond was in his element, and was the forefront of the strikeforce, as Barry's dominance in midfield grew in height. The runs of Andy, Jerome and Darran were causing the Coke Men all sorts of problems with Amir switching back to left winger as well.
Vic and Barry were safe in possession, as Mavericks FC is finally showing signs that finally we are a passing team! Oh, speaking of passing, the legendary Kee Siang showed the world that he is a cheat player in Winning Eleven coz injured ankle still can dribble past 4 players.
Chris, Jiun Wei, Clement and Kee Siang held resolute in defence as well as Alex who put in a top class save after tipping the ball over the bar from a free-kick. Great Stuff.
Not before long, the Outsiders deservedly got their winning goal. A ball from Barry; the soccer ball of course, was sprayed wide to the left to Amir.
The veteran winger showed a flashback memento moment of his younger days; and with a deft touch, he cut past two players before releasing a great throughball which split the defence. Ah, just like in the past. Ah, just like last time. (Ah, last time also got dinosaurs.)
Darran, who wasn't sure whether he was onside or not, waited for the whistle that didn't come, and timed his run to perfection and met the throughball before finishing it superbly with a low drive into the bottom corner of the net! 2-1.
Great Win Mavericks FC!
We need to keep this run going. We are currently second if results go our way this weekend. But we have a game in hand against the league leaders, and so, if we win our next match, potentially we could top the table. We currently have the best goal difference in the league with a +8 thanks to our awesome defence! We have conceded the least amount of goals in the league! Let's maintain this!
Mavericks Hwaiting!
