Feast For The Eyes
Niculae Stanca regretted nothing about sending out no defenders in the narrow loss, and instead congratulated Edbe FC effusively on their win. "Tournaments are a great opportunity for us all to let our hair down and give the fans what they want." the Romanian said. "Absolutely we could have put more effort in defending, but where's the excitement in that?"
"Not that we had many options after going three down." Stanca added cheerfully. "I would of course be more concerned if we didn't have one more game to make up for it."
The Birds should give themselves a fair chance of going through to the knockout stages by beating Tampines Phoenix F.C., who remain goalless after two matches. As Edbe FC and Be Champions FC will doubtless agree, however, scoring against the counterattacking specialists is far from a given.
Tele Fone FC remain atop Group A after being held to a two-all draw by former leaguemates Ho Seh Liao, while Random Curiosity FC became the first team to be mathematically eliminated with their 3-1 defeat to Kang Xi Lai Le.
