The match kicked off with PMC being able to field one its strongest line-ups during the league, with the midfield five (Damien, Bangshi, Timothy, Sheldon & Choon Heng) adding lots of running & muscle to the team. The 1st clear cut chance of the match fell to Glenn, who was found unmarked by a good move & cross by Damien. Unfortunately, with the goal at his mercy, Glenn headed narrowly above the bar. However, he would make no mistake from the penalty spot after good work down the right by Bangshi saw him being brought down in the box. The referee pointed to the spot without hesitation. Being 1-0 up wasn't sufficient for PMC as a better goal difference was needed to improve its league position. Soon, PMC was up 2-0. Good work down the left this time saw Ronnie weaving his way past 2 defenders before shooting for goal- the ball richoted off the post, then the keeper before finding itself in the net. BMC tried to get themselves back into the match but most of their attacks were either foiled by the defensive trio of Jem Sin, David & Mark or smothered by Jem Tan. Unfortunately, as the half was about to close, an untimely backheel by Choon Heng gave possession away in midfield which led to BMC's counter attack down the left flank. The cross from the wing found the BMC forward open to tuck the ball under Jem Tan to make the score 2-1 at the half.
To keep the shape of the team, no substitutions took place at the half. This worked in favour of the team as they pressed for more goals. This came in the form of a 'Sheldon special'. An attempted clearance found Sheldon on the edge of the box. His first time volley gave the BMC keeper no chance as it whizzed into the top right corner. With a 2 goal cushion, the substitutes started to come on to keep up the pressure. On another slick move down the left by Damien, Glenn's flicked header found Rusydi in some space to control the ball and fire a shot past the keeper to put PMC 4-1 up. Goal #5 came from the right with the speedy Daniel beating the BMC full-back and firing in a low shot at the keeper's right near post. Unfortunately, a goal was conceded by PMC, again towards the close of the half when the ball was given away in defence, leaving the BMC players to bundle the ball into the net. No matter, PMC's victory had already been confirmed earlier in the match.
There was again much progress from PMC in the areas of passing and communication. Areas for improvement include better use of the ball, discipline and concentration during key periods of the match. The league has ended with Rusydi being PMC's top scorer with 3 goals. Well done Rusydi & keep up the good work for next season!
