Last-gasp Equaliser Saves the Day!

Season 2012 - League Match 6  -   21 July 2012


Final Score: Cuivasco 1 Mavericks FC 1

Goals: Amir ('87)
Assists: Wei Lian
MOM: Victor

 Edgedale Plains, Greendale  Pitch - Mavericks FC shared the spoils in a match they really should have won as they couldn't take the myriad of chances gifted to them. 

A last-gasp equaliser from Amir saved Mavericks FC's blushes after a layoff from Wei Lian set him up nicely down the left flank, as he cut past one, and then two before smashing it home, much to the joy of the travelling Mavericks FC fans.

Cuivasco took a shock lead as their star striker Jegendren Thanagopal s/o Sataymilam Edward Cullen s/o Muthusamy Mathew Beckham got hold of a ball over the top, before drilling it past world-class goalkeeper Alex.

Mavericks had several gilt-edge chances, but they couldn't make it count, as shots were raining all day upon the Cuivasco goal, but to no avail. Jerome, Oreo, Weilian, Victor, Vic and Xiang Yi came close as the Outsiders searched for the equaliser. 

A moment of epic Gareth-Bale-esque brilliance from left-back Clement Sar left the crowds in the stands in awe, as he galloped on a simply sublime run down the left flank before letting rip a thunderous drive that cannoned of the crossbar, as the world simply stood still! Could have been his first goal for Mavericks FC and a contender for goal of the season! 

But alas, lady luck wasn't shining her arse that day. However, true grit and determination was displayed by the Outsiders, and they were rightly rewarded as Amir got their much deserved equalising goal in the dying moments.

Special mention to Chairman Ed Phua and his wife who gave birth to quadruplets and things could have been better to commemorate this special occasion for our beloved chairman if we had won the match, but nevertheless, Mavericks FC didn't give up. 

Congratulations Mr Chairman. 
You have powerful sp**m.
