The Top Corner Slut

Prisons 5- 2 JAFC

The top corners of the net were raped by some clinical finishing from both sides as JAFC left themselves with a mountain to climb in the 1st half after going 4-0 down. Off to a slow start, JAFC were duly punished as Prisons knocked in 2 goals in quick succession early in the game via 2 near post crosses. Subsequently, ex-national Rudy Khairon swept in a weak headed clearance while their winger found the top corner from 25m out despite the close attentions of the JAFC defenders.

With nothing to lose, JAFC displayed tremendous spirit and desire from the get go in the 2nd half. Challenges were decisive and strong, and everyone worked hard in a high tempo pressing game. The pressure pegged Prisons in their half as they struggled to regain their first half dominance. Within 5 mins of the 2nd half, a cross from Feroz was dummied by Fuhang, throwing the entire Prion's backline off guard. The ball rolled invitingly to Khai, who took a powerful shot that the keeper only managed to palm into the top corner.

Soon after the restart, JAFC got another goal back from Jerome. The fact that a left back was found in the box at the end of a cross is telling of the pressure that JAFC had cranked up. Following a scramble in the box, Jerome placed the ball past a sea of bodies into the top corner (yet again).

As JAFC pressed on, Prison's once again found the top corner via a counter attack. Their right footed striker somehow managed to conjure up a left footed shot into the top corner of the near-post despite pressure from 2 defenders.

We're halfway through the season and haven't been as consistent as we should be. In most games, we have always scored early on, but have always allowed our opponents to gradually regain control of the game. Lets take the positives from this game, build on them, and look to improve our performances for the rest of the season.

Lineup: Aziz, Jerry, Feroz, Chris, Jerome, Fuhang, Khai, Rafi (Zul), Andrew (Aaron), Sudi, Chengwei
