CYL vs Geylang United

Another great game. I dare to say the S-League is getting much more exciting, but where were the supporters? It worries me sometimes when I see the stadiums not even half-full. Nevertheless, I was relieved when I witnessed yet another exciting game!

The game started slowly, but it got hold of the momentum and it soon turned exciting. Both teams had their fair chances at goal and it was the Courts Young Lions who found the net. Great work from wingman Nazrul Ahmad Nazari who got the ball into the box and forward Fazli Ayob volleyed the ball home. Poor defending however. Soon, Nazrul got his deserved goal at the stroke of half-time after some great play by the Young Lions forwards.

The action wasn't over as straight from the restart, Geylang got their goal from an unselfish play from Kim Jae Hong. Kim was brilliant throughout the game and earned his side a penalty which Vasile Ghindaru converted.  But soon, Young Lions' captain Hariss Harun brought side ahead from a spectacular goal.

Just as the game was heading for a Young Lions victory, Safuwan Baharudin, who was back from NS, conceded a needless penalty after he handled a cross inside his penalty box. Kim, who was outstanding, converted the penalty. A dejected Safuwan stood behind me and was all disappointed when Kim converted the penalty. Heads up young man!

Exciting game, well-taken goals. Now we need the crowd to back the teams whether rain or shine, home or away. The S-League has certainly improved and now we need the supporters to be back! Only they will make the S-League even better than it is!

Man-of-the-Match: Nazrul Ahmad Nazari (Courts Young Lions). Outstanding throughout the 90mins. He was lively, full of running and caused some trouble to Syed Thaha on the right flank and then Syed Fadhil on the left. Talent!

Worst player: Jung Hee Bong (Geylang United). The lanky striker failed to deliver yet again. He is just disappointing and caused little problem to Shakir Hamzah and Safuwan. Step up your game!
