Top Eleven Season 09 Day 07

It was rare to get 2 draws on the same day but that was exactly what we got though both could be viewed as positive results.

In the league game away to Taufik Hasibu FC, we got off to the worst possible start as Adeso was sent off and we found ourselves 0-2 down after 33 minutes. Credits must go to the lads for their relentless determination as we fought back in the 2nd half and brought back a point through 2 goals by Ma who has now scored an astonishing 8 goals in the past 3 league games. Our never say die spirit deserved to be recognised and should serve us well down the road as we would inevitably face more adversities.

In the Champions League, we held the fort away to Roccia FC and got away with a 0-0 draw as our defence stood firm. Sapasadee stopped whatever the home side threw at him while Safiesa was impressive in midfield. The result left us tied on points with Roccia FC in the group and the race to qualify for the knockout stage will go down to the wire.
