Perpetuum Slay
The Birds team appeared to enjoy another win under their belt, and also the relatively short trip for the week. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but zooming around the globe eventually gets old."
Teo Chuan Yong said. "It's nice not to get held up at some airport, once in a while."
Teo also had kind words for Man of the Match
Toma Tamiya, who collected a hat-trick. "Toma's always been a hard worker, and I'm happy to see that it's paying off. Competition for places has always been tough here, even in friendlies, but maybe he might even get more time in competitive matches, if he continues like this."
There was a lot less to laud over at Carrot Field, where Farmer Bunnies saw themselves falling 0-3 to Angolan II.1 side FC Perpetuum Mobile. The former Taça de Consolação Angola champs outclassed the Buns in midfield, and despite a brave stand in the first half by the Buns younglings, Ivan Zelenitskiy would come good after Jaroslav Pecl entered the contest. Sion Hoskin and Brendan Selway would then put two more past
Gabriel Luke, whose reach left something to be desired.
Grilled International for their part defeated Turkish Division Four visitors Çukurspor 5-1, with
Tommy Dongelmans and the returning
Hardi bin Besar securing a brace each. Alexandrino Costa clawed one back in the 31st after an early distance barrage from International, but that was merely token resistance as International's class was clearly a cut above.
