AGAPE CUP 2011 Match 5 PMC vs COA 3pm.

Hi all, I hereby apologise for the late updates for this match due to school work committments.

In this match, both teams played to their strengths as much as they can muster. Both sides tried to play smooth passing football and it really goes from one end to the other. In the first half, though, our PMC team gradually took control of the midfield and dominated a good three quarters of the time. Plenty of times we saw our shots either well-saved by the COA's goalkeeper or missed by centimetres of goal mouth. I remembered Daniel exploited the space on COA's left with great pace and receiving a good pass from either Dominic or Rusydi (I cannot remember at this moment) before cutting quickly into the center on the edge of the penalty area. He then unleashed a curling shot (left leg, I think) just to see it go whistling pass the goal bar. Still, at the end of the second half, our team went 2 goals up This was courtesy of Martin's second attempted header for the first goal and a good shot for the second.

In the second half, the play was different as our PMC team was unsettled by some half-time changes and a resurgent COA team. The play was more balanced between the two sides with the ball flowing to and fro the two goal mouths. At the quarter of second half, we managed to score one more at COA's goal, again thanks to Martin's good reading of the game. Then PMC managed to gain abit of more control of the game before we conceded a goal: a narrow-angled shot from a COA player on our right.

We eventually we ended the match overall the 3-1 winner, but not before we received the scare of the match with a goal from COA being ruled offside.
