BPFC 4-1 Las Hearutsusu FC
The field at Yishun definitely lived up to its name as botak, totally the same as when viewed from google earth's satellite. The condition of the field thwarted BPFC's plan of slick and smooth passing, resulting in a slightly different approach to the game.
The game saw 2 debutants, 50 million signing targetman YuHao as well as right back "KongBa" Kian Tat. Auntie Mary's rumour of a 442 was proven to be true as BPFC chose to stick with the regular formation. GK Jackson came from a game in the morning and his defence was marshalled by commanding centre half HongYun, striker-turned-defender Shuheng, as well as fullbacks Ang and Joel. In the absence of star player Guoxing, BX and Fav combined in the botak field, flanked by steven and alan. Pengyong and debutant Yuhao started up front.
The game went well for BPFC as we took the lead early on. A run down from right winger Alan ended up in a superb cross which saw YuHao one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Like any other 50 million striker would do, he kept his composure and struck the ball to the back of the net. 1-0 to BPFC and a debut goal for Yuhao.
Things continue to look bright for BPFC as we continued to apply pressure at the opponent's half. An early injury to winger Alan meant that mark will be introduced early into the game. Our corners caused constant threat to the opponent's goal and some even nearly went in from the corner. Soon after, a left corner taken by BX found Mark in the box and he duely finished off the move with a textbook header which rocked the back of the net. In his first goal for the club, his teammates congratulated him and the player truly enjoyed his goal.
Things continued to be one way traffic in the first half. However, the defence dropped its guards and in a particular move, Ang and the ever solid shuheng hiccupped. This saw opposing attacker got the ball amd seemingly one on one with the goalkeeper. Amazingly, Shuheng got back to cover his ground and was able to clear the ball away. The team had other chances, notable ones including Bing Xian's long range thunderous effort which went just a little over the bar, his intention to replace Xing as the pillar of the team was also recognized by his winning of headers again and again. Yuhao also had a glancing header that went just wide of the post. Joel and Steven sent plenty of crosses into the box whilst Favian pulled the strings in the centre.
Half time, 2-0 to BPFC.
There were some changes in the second half as player manager Ang subbed himself off to make way for debutant Kian Tat at right back. It wasnt all one way traffic in the second half. The defence was seemingly tested time and again and LHFC had 2-3 one on ones on goal and luckily for BPFC, most of these shots went just wide. There was a chance where Bing Xian brought the ball from the halfway line and surprisingly, was asked to shoot from range by Joel. However, BX dismissed Joel's comments completely by rebutting with a typical "siao ah" that could be heard even from the bench. The game was also marked by moments of rough play as rock solid Shuheng complained of being attacked at his back 4 times by the opponents elbow. He retaliated with a "what the fug", and only went off with a warning and no card. Kudos to the ref for his excellent refereeing throughout the game.
The 3rd goal came not long after. Yun brought the ball out of defence and finished off the move at the other end of the field in a swift counter attack move. Alan's overhit through ball went all the way to the keeper. A determined Yun chased all the way and his efforts were paid off. A poor clearance from the keeper fell to the rock-at-the-back and without any hesitation, Yun BLASTED the ball into the net. What a shot!
Ang also returned to the game in his prefered right wing role. In his first game as a right winger for the team, he showed great promise by sending a few crosses, weaving magic and the right, inclusive of an Ole! which was agonisingly cleared away by the covering defender. Ang has sent out a strong signal regarding his intention to replace favian at the right wing berth with such a performance (Haha, pardon the self praise). An excellent move in the second half saw ang playing the ball to BX, who in turned exchanged passes with Favian before releasing left winger and joint top scorer Steven into an excellent crossing position. It was a sweet smooth flowing move that BPFC hopes to achieve as much as possible in every game. Right to left, left to right in one linking move.
Our corners once again proved to be the architect of our goals. Our umpteenth corners was finally paid off in the second half. Steven's wizardry curling ball caused so much problem for the defence and there was a mini ping pong going on within the 6 yard box. 50 million striker showed why he was worth so much as he was at the right place at the right time to poke the ball into the net. 4-0 to BPFC.
It could have been 5-0 for BPFC soon after. In a move which saw Yuhao last touch on the ball that is already on the way to cross the goal line, Steven seemingly stealed the goal when he touched the ball just before it crossed the line. However, his celebrations as the top scorer of BPFC was cut short by the kopitiam referee who said that Steven is offside! In my opinion, he is not offside since he was a running man from behind the defence. Nonetheless, the ruling of offside to the goal meant that steven's intention of being top scorer did not come true and he remains the only player to score a hattrick in a game. Well done steven!
Stealing is a chargeable offence in Singapore. Luckily for steven, he was only caught for offside and not for the crime. Despite the team KBing him after the game, he still could smile cheekily and said to his teammates, 'if you all were in my position, you all would have done the same lor'.
LHFC did draw one back in what seemed like a foul on pre enlistee Yun. He shackled Yun to the ground before blasting the ball to the top of net after being one on one with Jackson. Goal or no goal? You decide.
As this game was meant to be a testimonial match for Yun, of course he would want everyone to have a lasting impression of him. To him, scoring a goal wasnt good enough. HE WANTED TO GET SENT OFF! however, due to lack of saliva. he was unable to spit at the referee after he was shackled to the ground. Sigh,what a waste. what an impression he would have left if he got his marching orders during his testimonial game!
At the end of the day, BPFC was all smiles as we managed to win the game without maestro Guo Xing. Well done and we await the next game, most probably on 20th July as the Gaffer is off to Cambodia and Vietnam, not for voluntary work, not for war, but for a well deserved holiday. All the best to Hong Yun's enlistment and lets win more games in his absence.
Just a thing to note, we continued the statistic of an avg 4 goals scored and 1 goal conceded per game with this 4-1 victory. If only i could bet, i would definitely have placed a pick the score 4-1 bet and win loads of cash. Also, there is an excess of $11 today and the fund now has $16. Just a bit more to the buying of a new ball.
Till the next game.
BP! Ooooooshhhh!
