CiTY Futsal Season X - Day 3 Updates

GROUP A

Putranz vs Sumbat FC:

Putranz came into today’s round of matches holding the 4^th spot in group A but only due to goal difference, knowing that a win against a strong Sumbat FC squad could see them book a spot in the quarter finals next week. However it wasn’t their day as Sumbat FC ran out 4-1 winners over Putranz. Barath added to his tally this season with 2 goals today including one perfectly placed volley which struck the top corner of the helpless Putranz keeper Kevin’s post. Nantha and Ragu grabbed one a piece. Azam netted the consolation goal for Putranz.

Milo Taboq vs Ayam FC:

In what was a highly entertaining game in which both teams were battling it out for a spot in the quarter finals, Milo Taboq prevailed as the better side, knocking Ayam FC off their feet cruising to a 3-1 win. The deadly duo of Farouq and Amirul again did the damage with Farouq netting one while Amirul got 2 to his tally. Lawal netted a consolation goal for Ayam FC late on.

GROUP B

Machanz vs The Cant’s:

Holding onto the best offensive and best defensive record thus far in the tournament, Machanz looked to wrap up solid first week of the tournament, taking on The Cant’s. The away team came into this game holding onto the precious second and final qualifying place in the group hoping to avoid a big margin defeat and hope luck is on their side in the other match up from this group. However faith was not on their side as Machanz yet again prevailed with a big margin victory, running out 6-1 victors. Raj of Machanz made it 11 goals in 3 games with his 4 goals today whilst Danny and an own goal from Venket of The Cant’s sealed it. Venket however did grab the sole goal for his side.

Pappadam Alpha vs Panther:

It was do or die for both teams. For Panther however only needed a draw whilst Pappadam Alpha had a mind-set of win and proceed whilst lose and go home. Mind games did the trick for Pappadam Alpha today.  A stellar defensive performance by Krishnan and some neat touches up front gave them a 2-0 victory. A first and foremost most important victory they clinched thus far. Vijay kicked things off after heading in a throw by keeper Hafeel. Surin put the icing on the cake with a neat finish. Pappadam Alpha clinches a spot in the quarter finals.

GROUP C

Machanz 2.0 vs HQ:

A highly entertaining yet physical game was played out between these two squads. Machanz 2.0 whom were without Thiagu in this game after being red carded, needed a big victory to ensure a spot in the quarter finals. They saw that fading after Mmediong gave HQ the lead first. Sathia gave Machanz 2.0 a glimmer of hope after netting the equaliser. With time still left on the clock, both teams pushed for the victory. Vejay, keeper of Machanz 2.0, arguably the hero of the game for the team pulling of some spectacular saves to keep Machanz 2.0 in the game. However things ended for them as the referee blew the whistle to end the game at 1-1.

Teh Tarik Peng vs Drunken Dragons:

Knowing of the slip up of Machanz 2.0 in the earlier game, TehTarikPeng knew that a win would take them through to the next round and they did just that. Zubair kicked things off for TehTarikPeng after catching Drunken Dragons on the counter. Jiva netted one for himself while Kelvin rounded things of with 2 goals. Game ended 4-0 to Teh Tarik Peng.

GROUP D

Johnie Walker vs Pappadam Omega:

Tale of two different wants at the beginning of this game. Johnie Walker looking to make it 3 out of 3 while Pappadam Omega looked to avoid defeat to safely progress without having to worry about the latter games. Johnie Walker came out of this one getting what they came in looking for, making it 3 out of 3 with a 5-2 victory. A brace from Rifaz, and a goal a-piece from Valentine, Amate and Wiwin put them 5 to the good. A double own goal from goalkeeper Minusha gave Pappadam the precious 2 goals.

LFU vs Wanted:

A big win for Wanted means Quarterfinals while LFU played for pride. Wanted got exactly what they wanted which was a W with a 2-0 victory. Eugene and Bryan netted for them but will that be enough to take them through to the quarterfinals?

GROUP G

Just for Laughs vs X-IT:

In the first match of the day for the girls, Just for laughs and X-IT settled for a 1-1 draw at the end of the 14 minutes. An own goal from Cynthia of X-IT put Just for Laughs up just for Mea of Just for Laughs to make it even.

Dealbreakers vs Whack Only:

In what was an end to end game, highly entertaining, Dealbreakers pulled off a hard-fought 1-0 victory of Whack Only. Jessica netted the only goal of the game.
