Div 2 kicks off!

The new season started promisingly for skopet with maximum points and clean sheets after two games. A couple of new faces have joined us and the attendance rate is encouragingly good. Its early days yet but a good start nonetheless for us in division 2.

Skopet vs EUFC

We received our trophies before the game with EUFC captain gamely presenting it to us.
The first half ended goalless no thanks to woeful finishing. XY especially had worked himself to good one on one positions but it just wasnt going to be his day as somehow the keeper kept everything out. A defender even blocked a goalmouth 'turn and shoot' by fad. enough said.
To the bench's relief, second half hero Zaly stepped up and got us the lead after being fed through on goal. In the last 10mins Sop sealed the win with an audaciously beautiful chip over the keeper. It was an overall good team performance with lots of passing and good movement.

Skopet vs East Coast veterans

This game was won in the first half. As expected of a good veteran team, the opponents' passing was a delight to watch at times. It took some time for skopet to break their defence with a clinical finish by syahir from the left wing. Receiving a successful hollywood pass from Prem, the diminutive winger galloped to goal and wrong footed the keeper. Minutes later substitute Fad made a mess of a great opportunity but luckily managed to slide-flick the ball to double the lead. Nearing half time, XY was rewarded for his tireless efforts when he chested a cross from Zaly into goal. Second half was a different story as the veterans upped the tempo and came close to scoring twice. But our defence held firm with a disciplined solid performance. Keeper Rudy made a sensational save from a well taken free-kick to keep the clean sheet. Manager Rizman made dozens of substitutions to ensure everyone get the minutes and yet not compromising our gameplay. He converted fullbacks to wingers, Centre forward to sweeper.. all in the same game. he has definitely earned the nickname "TinkerMAN'

-Fad.
