Skopet FC 6 - 1 Woodlandvista WV
Skopet FC's attacking talent was at its creative best as a devastating perfomance saw the in-form side register their biggest win in the league which they smashed six past struggling Woodlandvista WV.
Woodlandvista WV was expected to seriously challenge Skopet FC after their strong perfomance against Westlanders last week but it was Skopet who dominated the early exhanges and was rewarded early when Fad opened the scoring after about 5 minutes. A vital interception in the middle of the park allowed Mar to flick a through ball to Fad who duly slotted the ball home with a nice lob over the rushing Woodlandvista goalkeeper. Skopet ,boosted by that goal , continued to surge forward in numbers on more than one occasion and Syahir doubled the advantage minutes later with a close range strike from a corner. Despite all Woodlandvista's efforts to work themselves into the contest, Skopet maintained their dominance over the game and should have tripled their lead. Fad failed to control the rebound after crashing his first shot straight onto the goalkeeper while Boyboyan's strike hit the woodwork soon after. Zai Bacul , in for Khaliq , scored his first league goal from his 2nd touch of the ball. With a good first touch to control the ball just outside the box , he did well to blast the ball to the bottom left corner despite pressure from the opposition. Skopet FC was cruising then.
Woodlandvista finally got themselves into it as the clock approached the half hour mark to reduce the 3 goal deficit with a moment of briliance from their striker. It was a deft flick over the veteran sweeper Syaf to get the ball over to his teammate who wasted no time slotting it home despite the attempts of Rudy and Jason to get another clean sheet. That's how it ended as Skopet took a 2 goal advantage into the half time interval.
Woodlandvista got the 2nd half underway and began to mount the pressure on the Skopet's defence but it was Skopet who got their 4th goal against the run of play. Mar went onto a solo run through the middle before releasing a well placed shot at the top right. The goalkeeper stood no chance. It was all Skopet over the rest of the game. Left back Jonas was lively thoughout with his overlapping runs at the flanks and it was not long before he was involved in the 5th goal. Sop latched onto Jonas's cross cum shot for a simple tap in. Syaf was denied by the woodwork twice when he played as the left wing and Sop had a goal disallowed for offside. Both of the skopet forwards had half chances after good work from the midfielders especially from Khaliq and Adik Sal and just when it looked like it could not possibly get any worse for Woodlandvista , Sop earned a penalty which Boyboyan converted to complete the convincing rout.
This win puts Skopet FC right back into the title race with only 2 games remaining. We can only wait for other results to find out the final standings for the teams in the league table. Just take note our next league game will only be after 2 weeks or 14 march to be exact.

Excellent job everyone. For the past match and so far. Two things we can take note:
1) Yusope pointed this out and much to his credit: He earned a penalty by making a bee line towards the box. I urge our offensive players to make this play an option in future.
2) Jia Ming shouted to his fellow defenders to "COVER HIM!" It was a clear, precise and loud instruction to cover him when there was once he needed to charge down on an opponent. I happily note that Syafii Saat and co. duly acknowledged him and complied.
Sterling work, team!
Rudy
With regards to point 2) above; again we should make it a habit to be in constant and clear communication with one another. Applicable to all positions.
Rudy
correct. well done all. Now its important to stay focused. Two games is all thats seperating us from a league title. Dont be mistaken, the next two games will be the hardest games we will need to play since both our opponents are also in the running. 14 mar vs buffalo, 21 mar vs dirty dozen.
For a moment I thought you mentioned 14 of me VS buffalo.. K k, yeah we need to stay focused and keep running and tackling doubly hard -- cos the league isn't over yet. Lose the next game and its bye bye league title.
Hopefully we get to play at 1st Toa Payoh or Victoria Sec against Buffalo. Need good field for good game.
Oh, I thought Zai did well in midfield last week. He stopped plenty of attacks. Kudos~ And good win guys, good win...
1st genuine compliment from anyway...appreciate tt...n u're the man arh mar!!!...wooo..
