Too Little, Two Much
Teo Chuan Yong, who had been run ragged by the end, congratulated the winners. "They worked for it." he panted. "Well, I like to think that we made them work for it. Everyone took their chances, and they had more of them."
Bhavya Panigrahi saw good things in the national team's future, from today's evidence. "Chua and Ma showed many flashes of greatness, but Gupta - he's something special." He however demurred when asked for a comparison with
Chan Ze Han. "I don't know, it's hard to tell right now."
The defeat sees Grilled drop to fourth in the table, with SingaStyle the only club recording two wins out of two in II.4; they thrashed Club Dinosauria 4-1 despite being on away ground with a Roman Mullens brace, leaving Deinos head coach Heng Ah Wei already under heavy pressure from disgrunted fans.
Ang Mohs in flip flops leapt to second as they wiped Blacksail Team 7-0, and Grilled Birds will be hoping for a similar results when they host the Sails next week. Ramseille Volliard FC also got to four points, as they played out a pretty unentertaining nil-all at Arrogancae.
Both Farmer Bunnies and Grilled International won 2-0 in their league games, with the Buns however in just third due to a relatively poor goal difference. Indonesian star
Djoko Tambusai appears to have received a huge leg-up after rumours of interest from his national side, and he would polish off two end-to-end counters in three minutes, showing impressive stamina to get up and down the pitch in seconds.
As for International, their fortunes may well have changed for the better after all, as they put Switzerland's The Mighty Lions away without too much trouble. The Lions barely had a sniff all match, and
Ragib Banović's cool finish in the eleventh minute gave International room to express themselves.
Tibor Atzenhain would add another to stay joint-top scorer in the league together with The Sun men's Bashir Salah Eddin, but
Chua Jun Long disappointed in wasting several clear-cut chances.
