Hotspurs Called For Tham
Bhavya Panigrahi was noticeably apologetic as he confronted his last-minute foul on Wu Feng Jie, that has been revealed to be possibly career-ending. "It wasn't my intention, but I guess it doesn't help by saying it now. I wish Wu all the best with his recovery."
Grilled Birds were left to confront their expected fixture congestion, with their next Cup fixture being against a Robbie Football Club that had just eliminated The EV, barely two days after their Hattrick Masters appointment.
Mateja Jeftić will probably be out for the best part of a fortnight, but the Birds have thankfully retained some depth in the defensive department, even considering
Yuta Nakakita's long-term injury.
Farmer Bunnies advanced too with a narrow 1-0 win against another Pasir Ris outfit in Phantasm Hotspurs, as the II.1 club never managed to answer
Tham Leng Teck's 35th minute strike, created by
Lau Chang Wan down the left wing. Their best chance of the match - from a corner - was sent wide by Heng Kang Chu in the 77th minute, after which it was mostly
Ibrahim Zahran Al-Maashany trying to make his mark.
Grilled International returned to their giant-slaying ways, as they demolished Romanian H.I. Division Three leaders International Transilvania Sighisoara by four goals to one. The cost however would be a knock to
Chua Jun Long, who must be disappointed at the minor setback, having just been named as a prospect for the national U-20 squad.
