Sausagefest FC No Match for the Knights in Red!

407 United 3 (Jinyu, Fadil, Ben)
Sausagefest FC 0

The match-up between the questionable taste in team naming; Sausagefest FC and 407 United was held at Punggol Sec Sch. With fire in their hearts and and determination overflowing 407 United push forward from the start of the whistle forcing the other team to lose their shape and composure. It didn't take long for Sausagefest to lose their plot and earn themselves the first yellow card and give away a freekick at a dangerous spot. Attacking Midfielder Fadil placed himself behind the ball to take the spot kick as team's regular taker Wilson was sidelined for medical safety. Fadil narrowly missed the freekick but 407 United continued to mount pressure on Sausagefest over and over again. A few more chances beckoned 407's way before Jinyu's amazing volley broke the deadlock.

Second half began with an improved Sausagefest side but 407 United was up for it. Brilliant reading and reactions of goalkeeper Robin made Sausagefest worked really hard to get on the scoreboard but to no avail. Though tired legs were starting to show 407 maintained their performance and Fadil was again in the action. A brilliant corner kick from Daryl was met by the head of Fadil giving 407 a two goal lead. And not long later, a composed finish by Ben sealed the game for 407 United.

The game saw the likes of Desmond Tang and Zip shine in the first half and saw the strength of midfielders Ben, Fadil, Daryl, Chengxi and Jinyu do justice to the 4-2-3-1 formation. A good display by Ivan, Desmond Van and Kelvin could not go unnoticed and Mayur earned a short introduction after being on a break. Scott and Alvin interchanged today to gather experience.
Wilson was also brought into the game becoming a menace to the opposing teams tired legs with his speedy runs. But the man for today would be and many would agree is the goalie. Robin was brilliant today in coming forward to gather loose balls and had a awesome one on one save. Today he not only earned his first man of the match but a well deserved cleansheet and a hug from Desmond Van.
