Mother of All Headers

JAFC 1-0 Gambas Ave

Putting a trio of defeats behind them, JAFC finally recored a hard fought win over Gambas Ave with a goal worthy of winning any match.

The first half was a scrappy affair, with JAFC having the better chances. From 2 set piece situations, the Gambas keeper put his huge frame to good use, saving headers from Feroz and Jerry.

The 2nd half saw an injection of urgency from JAFC as they improved on their possession and definitely had more purpose about them. This frustrated Gambas, and for the 2nd match running, an opposition striker got sent off. This gave JAFC the impetus they were looking for, and Gambas a kick in the teeth, as the match settled into a largely 1 sided affair.

The deadlock was spectacularly broken as Steven Lam Fuhang leapt majestically into the air above the Gambas defender to meet Sudi's far post cross, and thumped a header beyond the keeper. Having saved from 2 1st half headers in the 6-yard box, the keeper was left clutching the air despite Fuhang's header coming from just inside the edge of the box.

With only 10 men, Gambas looked to the long ball and the odd set piece but rarely troubled Tianci. In the closing stages of the game, Winston could have sealed the game when he was faced with an open goal, but could only drag his shot wide of the post. Definitely a contender for Miss of The Season.

Lineup: Tianci, Junrong (Chris), Aaron, Jerry, Anand, Feroz, Fuhang, Chengwei (Kok), Sudi, Weiming (Khai), Winston
