Coringão Conquest
Mohd Marzuki Khairul lauded
Chia Kwang Tse's three-goal haul from right attack, after all was said and done. "It's easy to forget Chia's ability in front of goal just because he's probably even better in midfield." the Number Seventeen said. "But he tends to remind you once in a while!"
Chia recognized the work that Georgetown's players had put in, for his part, despite conceding six. "They are very young, and while they would have done better to tamp it down at the beginning... I don't think I'd have followed such instructions myself, five or six years ago. In the end, I think we all had fun out there."
The Buns had a trip to sunny Brazil not that far away, as they played São Paulo V.193 side Coringão Caipira. For once, Bunnies would hit first and hard, with
Louis Lee and
Prakash Bhujbal putting them up from good high passes, by the ninth minute. Cards for Raúl Rengifo, Bhujbal and
Lau Keng Kwang then followed as the game stabilized, before
Lim Guang Qiang added a third in the 83rd minute, once again from an excellent cross.
Ho Ah Kian, who held the ball up well but to little reward on the day, appreciated the supply from the wings nonetheless. "You could tell that our wingers and wingbacks were flying... they just needed room to express themselves, and our opponents obliged."
Grilled International hosted Burkina Faso II.2 club ACS Ouagadougou at Burung Memorial Stadium, where
Leri Bezhanishvili stunned them with a great volley three passes from kick-off.
Remond Bergervoet made it two in the 26th, before Bekir Cin got through in the 53rd, only to be answered within the minute by
Helmy Syamsuzaman.
Mohsen Zeynali then closed it at 4-1, with a gritty dribble that Hungarian fullback György Kukorelly wrongly thought that he had stopped.
This was a nice change for International after a 1-5 defeat to São Tomé e Príncipe III.4 leaders Toro Loco Reloaded, in the SANA GOLD CUP on Monday. Argentine striker Elbio Héctor Perez de Eulate concluded with a brace before
Chua Jun Long stole one in injury time, as International plunged to the bottom of Group F; FC Fourrass beat Beliezinge United 4-1 in the other fixture.
