FOOTBALL CLUB WORLD

It was a sunny Saturday Afternoon and the game kicked off at about 3:30pm............The game was balanced with both sides trying to maintain possession. A nice free-kick from Steve coupled with poor goalkeeping gave Machanz the lead courtesy Lingesh from 2 yards. Frustration began to step in for Kelkatu with Amirul booked for unnecessarily  kicking the Ball. In the Second half Kelkatu had most of the ball possession. And about 5 minutes into the second half they were awarded a penalty when Venket brought down Amirul in the 18 yard box. The resulting penalty taken by Zubir was saved by Basil. Kelkatu's Perseverance finally paid off in the 40th minute when a nice pass fell nicely for the substitute Nuruddin which he put in the back of the net. Machanz also had chances with Steve's free-kick hitting the bar and the rebound from Rajiv also hitting the bar. Sathia also made a very nice run creating a goal opportunity but the finish was disappointing.
It ended Kelkatu 1   Machanz   1

This was was the most open game of week 1. Early in the first half, Desert Storm took the lead when Rashed  took a nice shot that coupled with poor goalkeeping, letting the ball fall nicely for Tyson and he scored. Few minutes later Desert Storm won a free-kick in a promising area and the resulting free-kick along with little help from the goalkeeper gave Desert Storm their second goal courtesy of Juma. Putra also made chances but could not convert them to goals. Desert Storm came into the second half hungry for more goals and they got it few minutes later from a very nice shot from Abdi from 25 yards that flew straight into the right top corner. Putra had some descent chances with shots from Ming Jie and Ryan but both went wide. Rashed then put icing on Desert Storm's cake with a their fourth and his first of the season.

Mathematically a dragonfly is no match for an Eagle. But as they say football is not mathematics.
This was he most closely contested game of the weekend. Eagles the champions and favorites in this tie didnt seem like champions on the field of play. The first half was very quiet with both teams trying to find their feet, Rusy got the first clear shot, bringing out the best from the Dragonfly's goalkeeper. In the second half it was starting to look more like the tale of the Eagle and the dragonfly. With shots from Danny, Mmediong, and Salim but the goalkeeper had answers for all their shots. But in the 46th minute a nice solo run from Danny brought the first and only goal of the game. Dragonfly also had opportunities but could not take them.
