DE'7....DE Champions !!!

So it’s all down to De’7 and City Girlz. City Girlz came into the game lacking of players, with no substitute where as De’7 also came to the game short on players with only one substitute. It took a while for the first goal to go in as City Girlz played some excellent defending, clearing everything that came to them. The first goal fell to Ester after some neat dribbling and a neat finish into the bottom corner. She added a second soon after, a goal almost similar to her first making it 2-0. Abby made it game set match to De’7 with a goal of her own to make it 3-0. Tim then added the icing on the cake in what was an excellent tournament for them with the fourth goal.

MARVELLOUS MACHANZ  !!!

Pappadam A and Machanz. Two strongholds of this semester’s tournament came into the game with an eye on the prize. End to end stuff for both teams. Neither teams can be said to be the dominant one but however one of the sides had to come out on top eventually. Machanz took the lead in the first half with goal number 16 for Raj providing that channel. That held on till the second half when Raj’s 17^th of the tournament made it look good for Machanz who now had one hand on the prize. However Pappadam received a glimmer of hope when Danesh put the ball past his own keeper after a corner kick which came his way ricochet of his leg and into the back of the net. 2-1 it was and 2-1 is how it ended.

Game 2 (Men’s)- Machanz vs. Altec FC

So before we get into detail of what happened during this game, let’s refresh on the quarter final games both teams had. Machanz overcame a determined Paindu Utd 6-3 after extra time where as Altec came out 3-2 winners over Team Ringgo. So now both teams came up against each other looking to get the first seat of two in the finals. First up came Raj’s 14^th goal of the tournament with a neat finish at the bottom right corner. However M.J of Altec replied with a goal of his own after his shot from the middle line took a slight deflection and ended up behind the Machanz goalkeeper. Danesh restored Machanz lead soon after as he saw his powerful shot hit the back of the net and it was 2-1 Machanz. Second half came and a second goal for Mr. Raj, 3-1 Machanz. It was late and it was looking good for the Machanz boys. Lingesh added the icing on the cake late on and Machanz move pass Altec with a sounding 4-1 victory and a spot in the finals. What next for them? Pappadam  A or De’7 FC?

So it was all in all an end to end game with both sides attacking and defending, going at each other with all they have as De’7 wait for the winner to play against in the finals. After the first 7 minutes of play, 0-0 was one the score sheet as both teams cancelled each other out with some good defending by both teams. Up came Rachel, a new addition to the City Girlz squad, twisting and turning her way around the Emergency defence. She grabbed the first goal of the game after taking the ball down the left wing and firing a shot, squeezing it into the goal. Just as everyone thought it was game set match to City Girlz, Jaqlynne does what she does best, scoring. That goal gave her her 4^th goal of the tournament while getting the equaliser. Fulltime score was 1-1 and it went into extra time. With the extra 6 minutes of play, 2 goals went in but not both for one team. Rachel again scored for City Girlz to put them up at the half, but as she did in normal time, Jaqlynne netted the equaliser to make it 2-2. Then came penalties with both teams and here’s how it went

De’7 came through comfortably with a 6-0 win over LFU B where as Pappadam A came through a tough 14 minutes of play with a 3-2 victory over Putranz. If I were to choose one word to describe this match, it would be Physical. Right from the start, Mmediong gave De’7 a dream start after smashing the ball through the Pappadam wall at the first kick of the game. Scoreline: 1-0 to De’7. Playing with much anticipation, Pappadam played their game however received a warning with the way tempers were raising. Thiagu got the first caution of the game before Steve got in the books as well. It wasn’t till the second half that another goal came and this time it was an equaliser for Pappadam. Thiagu slotted a lovely pass down the right wing to Barath who turned and took a first time shot which went past the goalkeeper. Scoreline: 1-1. Latter stages of the game came for the players on the court and tensions raised as both teams kept the battle going till the very end. Then came a corner kick for Pappadam A. Barath with the kick from the side placed the ball into the middle. The ball cannoned of a De’7 defender but fell to an unmarked Thiagu who slotted home with ease. Scoreline: 2-1 to Pappadam. Not long after the goal, the final whistle went and the Pappadam supporters roared to the success. They meet Machanz in the final and GAME ON.

Hard to say which team was the better of the other as it was an even contest. The game started brightly for Altec, whom won the opening toss. M.J received a pass from the middle line and took a first time hit direct at goal which gave Altec a dream start to the game.  Jun Ho doubled the lead for Altec but it Team Ringgo replied a goal of their own from Saleem. It was game on again as Saleem’s strike proved to be a glimmer of hope for Team Ringgo. However M.J’s second proved to be the killer goal although Saleem did add another.
