It was a hot Saturday afternoon, and a last minute friendly was organized with PMC hosting a new team from Bethesda Frankel Estate Church (BFEC). Only 8 players turned up from PMC, and we had to loan 2 players from BFEC, to start the 10 a-side match. Jacob shared on the parable of the lost son, and also reminded the Christians not to be like the older son who did not welcome the return of his brother as he deemed the lost son to be sinful.
The match started with BEFC in white and PMC in a wide array of different colours! PMC kept the pressure well in the first half, keeping the ball in the opponents half early in the game and scoring 2 goals. But the complacency and a few defensive errors allowed BFEC to even the scoreline each time PMC scored a goal. And first half ended with a draw of 2-2.
Having warmed up and with a few minor adjustments to the team’s positions, PMC started the second half stronger and manage to hold possession of the ball much better. PMC also took attacking opportunities much better, and scored more goals. A nail biting moment came from a PMC corner kick when Jacob headed the ball off the crossbar and onto the ground, only to be cleared to safety. The game ended with a scoreline of 5-3 favoring PMC.
Nicolas from BFEC closed us in prayer.
