Few Positives
Disgusted striker
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim had little to say after the crushing defeat. "It was shameful." he asserted. "We did nothing."
Head coach
Djan Bacelar was barely more restrained, though he refused to assign individual blame. "The team severely underperformed today. We know that we're better than this. Kudos to Shining Lights, but part of it was simply us failing ourselves."
The next fixture will barely be more inviting, though Isle of Flames were a far cry from their imperious best either, as they were beaten 4-2 by Pearl Divers. Pudgy Penguins recovered from last week's mauling with a careful 2-1 home win against the battling United Warrior Team, who became the only side yet to gain a point after two rounds.
Be Champions FC are looking close to unstoppable as they ripped singnet_utd apart 4-1 in an away derby, with the well-supplied Ali Ütkün already on five goals. Their top-of-the-table clash against Lights next weekend will be a blockbuster, going by how these two form teams have shone.
Bunnies did not get the result they wanted either, as they were held 1-1 by semipro club Asian mighty lion city club. It was looking up for them after
Cheong Kong Ting saved an early penalty and
Ollipekka Korpijärvi scored in the 12th minute, but continued poor finishing would bite them in the behind when Najib Zufar equalised with eight minutes left.
FC Durian extended their lead atop IV.13 with another 7-0 thrashing, this time of SingTel of Tel, and Bunnies midfielder
Gagan Shettar could barely hide his dismay. "We can't drop points like this if we're aiming for the title. We have to wake up our idea!"
