MOM: TBCAnderson Sec Pitch - Mavericks FC kicked the season off with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Youth United on a hot, tempestuous Saturday afternoon.
The Outsiders lost in their pre-season clash with their opponents in green, but today was another story altogether as a solid display from the team throughout ensured the 3 points were in the bag way before the referee blew for the final whistle.
Khai and Oreo were dictating play from midfield, backed by a solid defensive display from Guo Xiang and Seng Yew which effectively neutralised the threat of Jacob Peterson Van Thomas Henderson Hoffman, Youth United's star Dutch midfield import as well as Ah Lim Piu Piu, their midfield general.
Star striker Jake Chia was a handful for their defence, and their opponents never look settled at the back. And Faizy is Cheick Tiote.
It was apt, that Chairman Jiun Wei opened the deadlock, with a majestic finish after a layoff from Captain Chao Xing. A rare goal from the Mavericks legend, but a goal that proved so vital.
Chao Xing continued his rich vein of form in front of goal, with a brilliant drive into the bottom corner of the net; a goal that effectively ended the match as a contest.
Not before long, Jake Chia slotted home a deserved goal from another assist from the captain, sending the away fans of the Outsiders in the rafters home happy.
A truly great team effort from the men in the blue and white stripes, and hopefully this will set the momentum going for the matches to come in this league.
The greatest, most most most awesomest manager in the whole wide world, Jake Tay a.k.a 萧白, was once again spot on with the tactics, and it was a superb team display throughout.
Let's move forth, and look forward to the next league match.
Mavericks hwaiting!
