Naval Base Sec Sch 3pm -
Goals:

0-1: The opponents took a shock lead against the run of play with their first and only shot of the game, a wonderful volley outside the box that caught all unawares

1-1: Sashi Kumar (Akim) - the equalizer was a carbon copy of the first goal, adding to his collection of stunning goals since he joined the team

2-1: Akim - we finally took a deserved lead after intense pressure in the opponents' half, I made no mistake to finish with the goal at my mercy

3-1: Sashi - after a solo run, he let fly with a soft, low grounder and he turned around thinking the GK had made a routine save. Instead, the GK committed a howler by letting the ball slipped beneath his hands

4-1: Muhd Rasyidin Salleh - our newcomer scored his 1st goal for the team on his 2nd appearance, his long-range effort struck the post that bounced in off the GK

5-1: Sashi (Akim) - the team goal of the match. A stunning sequence of passes saw me made the overlap to receive Rahman's slightly heavy pass, and my low cross eluded Ernest (who is still searching for his 1st goal), but not Sashi who completed his hat-trick, our first since Oct 2011, with a typical striker's finish

We dominated the match throughout and could have been up by double digits in the first half. When the opponents took the lead, it was against the run of play and it became the only shot for them throughout the game, but that is football, you don't take your chances, you get punished. Fortunately, justice was served and we ran out comfortable winners in the end. The rebuilding continues.

MOTM: Sashi. Hat-trick. Dominant striker's performance.
