akodo 5 - 6 Grilled Birds
To The Very End
Lee Lee Hao was understandably breathless after experiencing both the non-stop eleven-goal thriller and his creative gamewinner, but he recovered quickly enough to affirm that Grilled were not about to dwell on this. "It was magical, but we remain two points behind." he noted. "And we want to make it up."
With Arcturules unable to break through in their 1-0 away loss to Batok Earthquakes, they have fallen out of contention, and it is now FC Barca Singapore's turn to have their go. FC Barca preserved their own ambitions with a five-goal comeback against newbies, including three by Danish forward Jørgen Ove, which will give the Match of the Day selectors a right headache.
Grilled head coach
Djan Bacelar confirmed that the team would go all out against former S-League champions Blackburn Rovers Fan, who enjoyed a walkover today. While Rovers may be without off-key winger Nie Tze Chao, who has sought a transfer to United Warrior Team, Bacelar was clear that he would be taking nothing for granted.
"As things stand, it could well come down to goal difference, and we don't want to be counted out this way if at all possible." Bacelar said. "Furthermore, this will be our last home match of the season, and the fans deserve this much."
Newly-installed Farmer Bunnies head coach
Sikong Darong meanwhile downplayed his team's chances at the IV.13 title, despite the Buns romping to a 4-0 over Joshuadx, having started
Chai Mohilever in place of himself. "Frankly, Joshuadx are not going to stop WhiteSandsMechs next week, and we aren't going to make up a 22 goal difference, even if we do beat them on the last day."
"That said, we do want to end our campaign on a high note, and I'm targetting clean sheets for the last two games. Not forgetting,
Lau Chang Wan stood in well for
Sofian Azfar. We might not be progressing in the Dunav Cup, but maybe Sofian can help shut živina&marva out tomorrow."
