SOAS Arena, 3rd February 2010: The game that was played yesterday was a good effort for the home team. Even though SOAS FC was left behind on the first ten minutes with a simple goal from the CID players. This happens because of the miscommunication between the defenders who thought to that the CID players was in the offside position. Since the referee says to play on, there is no chance for the SOAS FC players to hold off the opposing team. But within a few minutes, SOAS FC players managed to equalize with a goal from Cikgu Harlezam. He managed to score his first goal of this 2010 season assists from a rebound from Ustaz Shahrul. Before the 1st half time wistle blown, the opposing team score again with its second goal leaving SOAS FC a goal behind.
With more substitute players available yesterday more than the previous games, more strikers play infield leaving the usual strikers to play as defensive midfielders. During the second half, SOAS FC managed to play well with more one to one. This makes the opposing team very difficult to encounter. Very shockingly with a good assists, the home team managed to score two goals in the second half. The second goal was scored by SOAS FC midfielders Cikgu Yusri with the assist from Cikgu Azreen whereas the third goal was scored simply by a long time awaited player non other than Cikgu Arshad with the assist from a long goal kick from Cikgu Md Arizal. This change the result to 3 goals to 2 to the home team.
Unfortunately, with a late challenge by SOAS FC defender, the referee did not hesitate to give a penalty kick to the opposing team eventhough the CID striker was said to have 'acted' on the fall. With this penalty kick being given, they managed to equalise in the last few seconds. Within a few seconds after kick off, the referee blows the whistle ending the 3 goal draw. Congratulation to all the SOAS FC players on playing the game which starts to see improvements than previous game since January 2010. Hopefully in the next game, SOAS FC will managed to stick with the win or draw game.
