Secondaria di Primo Grado Serangoon - Saturday afternoon saw one of the greatest goals ever scored in Mavericks FC history by one of the greatest players ever to grace in the Outsiders' colours.
The ever present stalwart at the heart of the Mavericks defence, Christiano Chow reminded everyone once again, the quality he brings to the team, and to some others, the quality he brings to bed as well.
Blessed with pace, flair and an indomitable physique, Christiano is the perfect defender.
His impeccable sense of timing and his unmatched ability to rise up to head with such awesome hangtime puts him right up there in the category of classy defenders alongside the likes of Nemanja Vidic, Sergio Ramos, Ricardo Carvalho, John Terry, Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Nesta, Franco Baresi, and Wes Brown. Hmm. Wes Brown.
Able to play across the back four, Christiano's versatility has been seen in recent weeks, as he deputized for left-back Clement when he was eating Koala meat in Brisbane 2 weeks ago, and this week where he replaced Chuan Ji at centreback when he was eating Panda meat in Shanghai.
Christiano is normally a rightback, whereby his marauding runs always gets the crowds on their feet, and cause his hordes of female fans to start flashing at him as well. And this weekend saw him scoring his first ever goal ever since he was signed by manager Amir Shearer 5 years ago.
A milestone nevertheless, and rightly done so, as world football saw one of the greatest individual goals ever scored.
Defending from a corner, a loose ball was shepherd out by Christiano down the left side of the Mavericks penalty box. After a tussle on the ball with an opposing striker, Christiano won it and embarked on a sensational 70 yard run down the left flank.
Just like Gareth Bale.
He got past one , and then past two, his forceful run leaving his opponents eating dust. With a touch of class, and a shuffle (EVERYDAY I'M SHUFFLING TOT-TOT-TOT-TOT-TOT), he destroyed another three defenders, as Christiano beared down on the opposition penalty box.
With no more defenders in sight, and no sweat in light, Christiano was now one-on-one with the keeper. As the keeper rushed out of his area to try and thwart him, you know what Christiano did? He lobbed the keeper. And the ball rose and floated over the keeper's head. And it landed into the open net. Epic. GOAL!!!!!!!
His teammates stared in awe, in disbelief, at what they had just seen. They had just seen history been made. The crowds, suspended in shock, adrenaline overdosed, had just witnessed a legendary goal, that will always be etched in the record books.
A moment of brilliance. A truly epic goal, that will be chronicled in the annals of time.
One of the goals of the century.
Manager Amir Shearer at the touchline was caught in the moment and even joined in the celebration on the pitch.
Ah yes. This was supposed to be a match report. Vic dived awesomely just like Darran had taught us all. And he got the penalty, which Wei Jie converted brilliantly for the first goal. But we conceded 2 goals. So the final score is 2-2 lor. Oh, and Jerome received a straight red card and was sent off. Okbye.
