Three Against A5
Aznan The Answer
In a game that could decide the fate of the league,
Aznan Noor Yadah socked A5_Paper in the face less than a month after breaking into the first team. Participating in only his third senior match, Aznan devoured the far more experienced Thien Yu-Kwan with a superb overstep to set the match on its way. Dai-Lin's contribution was a wicked banana kick that A5_Paper's new goalkeeper Su-Tu Ming-Hoa got his fingertips to.
A5_Paper were fired up knowing the consequences of losing, and their Mohd Zakaria splashed a drive that took a deflection off Siu-Cheung. Bao-Tam hadn't moved and was able to make adjustments to his stance, managing to push the ball out and away. Karlsson was booked for very late foot in on Yew-Hoe, following which
Ding Sun-Nee ran on in the inside to receive a short pass by Dai-Lin and run it past the keeper.
A5_Paper still believed they could turn the game around, and they must have thanked
Aznan Noor Yadah when he passed to the wrong man, allowing A5_Paper to mount an attack with numbers. The goal didn't come easily, but Ang Jin-Yuan eventually struck a high shot over Bao-Tam, having been the lucky recepient of Aznan's gift a minute ago.
Bao-Tam remained on the ground, and it emerged that Ang's follow-through had taken the goalkeeper in the groin. His guard had taken the sting out of the impact, but Balenciaga was asked to come in nevertheless.
Aznan Noor Yadah then came clean by dispossessing Yu-Kwan in his own box before walking the ball into goal.
