SEMUA ROVERS SLUMPED TO A 4-2 DEFEAT IN FRIENDLY.

RSSC 4-2 Semua Rovers
(Chun how 2,Kayong,Jowell) (Asraf,Janson)


Semua rovers lost their first away match under new manager,Asy, after they slumped to a 4-2 defeat to RSSC. With the win,RSSC maintained their unbeaten run in the court. It was a late confirm match as both teams field an under-strength team with RSSC puting only 3 of their first team players and Semua Rovers have 4 players from their first team but RSSC prove to strong for Semua Rovers. It was an entertaining game in the second-half as 5 goals were scored in the period.

Nothing interesting happen in the first half as both teams were playing a usual passing game and pressing each other with counter-attacking football.Both teams went closed but the solitary goal in the first half came through a dubious misunderstanding between Geraldo and Taufiq and chun how was quick to react to toe-poke the ball home. It was a stupid goal to concede as they were only a few minutes away from ending the first half goalless.The team went into half time with RSSC leading 1-0.

Second half began and Ah-Kiat was forced to be sub off at half-time due to fatigue although he came back mid-way through the second-half as the half-fit Geraldo has to be sub off. RSSC started the second half with full of energy and within seconds of the second half,Kayong made a glancing header through a corner past Taufiq to make it 2-o for the home team.It was the best start the home team could possibly wanted and they started pressing with attacking movements. Asy and Janson have to come back and do defending as both Geraldo and Afiq were having problems dealing with pacy attacking duo-Jowell and Kayong. Semua rovers managed to pull one goal back through a sublime chip from Asy that fly past Marcus and into the goal. The game began more lively after the goal and soon both teams were attcking each other at war-front. Semua Rovers managed to find the equaliser half-way through the second-half after a beautiful long-pass from Asy find Janson who had his first header clips past the post and he managed to poke the ball home from the rebound. Both teams went aggresively finding the winner. Chances went begging for both teams as players were hitting the post many times.The goal that both teams were finding for fell into favour to RSSC after a brief counter-attack. Through a Semua Rovers corner which was cleared by Chunhow,Kayong dribbles past Afiq and had a one on one situation with Taufiq but he unselfishly past the ball to Jowell who taps the ball home. That proves to be the vital goal as both teams were already tired out. RSSC put icing on the cake after Chunhow scored a screamer that fly past Taufiq and it was a one sided game after the goal as Semua Rovers was doing more defending than attacking. It was a dissapointing game for the away team as they concede goals from poor defending and credits to the home team who makes full-advantage of their chances. Players from both teams were unavailable for comments as they were tired.
