Skopet vs Team Hospitality

1-1

This game ended in a 1-1 stalemate; the first of points we dropped in the league.
We were superb in the first half, going ahead thru fad's smashing volley and maintaining a lion's share of possession throughout.
It was however a different story in the second half as we were forced to defend deep in our own half. It was team hospitality's turn to shine with their nigerian import at the heart of every attack. We kept them at bay and our strikers disappointingly failed to make most of their chances. Their goal came towards the end after Syaf and hatta were forced out of the field with a bruised back and bloodied nose and khaliq made his last bicycle kick attempt of his skopet carreer. Shotstopper Rudy made crucial saves to keep our unbeaten run intact.

Skopet vs NEP

5-0

This victory came with the costliest of prices as Syafii and Rizman are ravaged by what increasingly seems to be long term injuries. The potholes of Compassvale Sec are the culprits this time as both players twisted their knees whilst running at full speed. Syaf who has already had surgery on the other knee is not hoping for much since it felt similar to his last setback. Rizman on the other hand has a one month MC, pending an MRI scan late next month.
Back to the match, "player-manager" Prem scored 4 good goals to help us with a comfortable victory to compensate for an off-form strike force of Fad and Sop ; the best of which I thought was the cross-shot goal from the left wing immediately after the restart. Hatta stood firm at rightback having been given a frustrating time by a player who prefers to elbow people rather than play soccer. Kudos to him and the defence for keeping their cool and they were justly rewarded when that player was sent off. Overall a good win. Keep it up.
