MENS SEMIFINALS
HQ VS PAPPADAM ALPHA:
The surprising team of the tournament, Pappadam Alpha, came up against HQ in this semi-final tie whom had their confidence high looking to notch a spot in the final. It was an end-to-end game as shot after shot let flew main by Mmediong of HQ while Vijay and Sheeren tested HQ’s goalkeeper Sodiq a couple of times however Sodiq kept steady and so did Hafeel of Pappadam Alpha. 0-0 was how the half ended with both sides matching up on almost all parts of the court with Krishnan and Navdeep defending well for Pappadam. In the second half however things looked as though it would go into extra time only until Mmediong netted what was the winner. Late in the second, Mmediong received a pass from the right. With two defenders ahead of him Mmediong let loose of a shot which squeezed through the legs of both defenders before beating keeper Hafeel in the same manner. 1-0 HQ.Pappadam threatened to equalise in the closing moments with Vijay hitting a volley from the right which floated only inches away from the top corner. HQ held on to their precious lead and booked a place in the Final awaiting the winners of MachanzvsTehTarikPeng.
FINAL SCORE: HQ 1 – 0 PAPPADAM ALPHA.
MACHANZ VS TEH TARIK PENG:
Last semester’s finalist TehTarikPeng came into this game looking to secure yet another final berth. But they had to get through Machanz who has been looking strong throughout the tournament thus far. However, TehTarikPeng wasn’t looking to just give Machanz the victory; they want this more than ever and put on a brave fight. First few minutes of the game looked very lively as both sides pushed for a lead but were unable. Machanz however did find the net in the first. Playing high up, TehTarikPeng were hit on the counter as Machanz capitalised on a 2 on 1 situation in defence which allowed Lingesh to place a shot on the bottom right hand corner of TehTarikPeng’s goalkeeper. Things changed in the second half however as TehTarik looked to equalise and almost did as Machanz almost conceded the way they scored. On the attack, Machanz left defender Danesh alone in defence which allowed TehTarikPeng to have a 1 on 1 opportunity but Hasnat of Machanz superbly turned the shot of with his feet. Unable to find the equaliser, Machanz punished TehTarikPeng with a second and final goal of the game with Lingesh showing some clinical finishing with a half volley.
FINAL SCORE: MACHANZ 2 – 0 TEH TARIK PENG
