Top Eleven Season 08 Day 09

Today we were thoroughly tested by 2 difficult opponents so to get a win and a draw were commendable.

In the Champions league, we seized the initiative as we avenged our previous loss by defeating YYY FC at their home ground. Sapasadee had an outstanding game while Ma's goal proved to be the match winner which now gave us a great chance to top our group.

In our league encounter against Siberian, Ma once again gave us the lead but a silly foul by Ibanez allowed the home side back into the match via a penalty goal. Nevertheless, Sapasadee's excellent display meant that we left the match with a point and preserved our unbeaten league record.

On a side note, I will like to thank the services of Yusoff, Duncan, Marzetti and Ghazali as they left the team to seek more starting opportunities. Yusoff and Ghazali were both Academy players who had grown into the team as dependable squad players. Shane Duncan had provided years of solid leadership as a tenacious defender or a reliable defensive midfielder while Marzetti was a talented striker who simply needed more game time that we could not afford to give. I will like to once again thank them for their work at the club and wish them all the best in future.
