For the first time,Semua Rovers and Ace Upgrades join forces to play in a friendly match with Bukit Panjang boys. Due to the minimum of players, Ace Upgrades were invited to join forces with Semua Rovers. It was the second time that both team faces each other after Semua Rovers 10-1 win over Ace Upgrades. It was clear that Ace Rovers( combination name) were the underdogs team but they pull off a remarkable comeback to win the match 6-5.
The first half was a one-sided game as Bukit panjang Boys control the possesion but they couldn't create their possesion into chances after a wonderfull solid display by goalkeeper,Ahmad. They did managed to score 2 goals but a blunder by their goalkeeper allow Ace Rovers to pull a goal back. It was confusing after the referee blows the half-time whistle after just 25 minutes of play. Team captain,Asy approached the referee for clarification but the referee couldn't gave a good explanation. HALF-TIME. 2-1 to Bukit Panjang Boys.
Second-half started and captain,Asy,changes the team formation and players as Geraldo replaces Vice-captain,Irwan who is nursing a stomach cramp. The change proves ineffective as Ace Rovers again conceded 2 goals due to poor defending and the scoreline stated 4-1 to the home team. What happened the next 20 minutes was pure madness and unbeliveable. After an own goal by the opponent, It seems that it has brought believe and detemination to Ace Rovers as Aiman,scores two to make the scoreline tie at 4-4 and bring his tally of goals to 4 on that day. Tackles started flying in and the game turned agressive soon after. Ace Rovers make full-use of their opponents poor defending and complacency and added 2 more goals to make it 6-4. There were 10 more minutes left in the clock as captain,Asy,turned to defensive. Bukit panjang boys attacked and threatened the defence but fine goalkeeping by,Ahmad,denied them an opportunity at goal but they managed to make the score-line 6-5 with 5 minutes left but Ace Rovers hold on for the last few minutes for a win. Eventhough Ace Rovers were outplayed by their opponents full control of possesion but they make full use of all the chances and defensive error by the opponents to create a remarkable comeback and won the match. It was over-confident and complacency that brought the downfall of Bukit Panjang boys as they looks like they were not playing soccer after leading 4-1 but they were brought down to earth after Ace Rovers managed to make the scoreline tied at 4-4 and add two more to make the scoreline in Ace Rovers way.
