Match Report : Kacang demolished Crescent into pieces

It was windy and cloudy evening which was a good for a football match but the match started late because the arrival of the referee and his two match officials.

Kacang started well with Hadi bursting past Crescent's midfields to unleash a through ball for striker Asif but Crescent's defender did well to intercept the pass. From then on, the ball was mostly played in the opponent's half where Kacang's managed to control the match with their attacking play.

Shots from Afiq "Robben", Syah "Scholes", Zul "Vermaelen" and Hadi "Melo" was blocked by the defenders and goalie. Everyone thought Asif have scored the first goal when he managed to have a clear chance in front of goal when the goalie who did not get a clean catch but instead, he struck wide. Syah scored his second goal of the campaign from a close range shot just inside the penalty area. Crescent's attacks mostly came from counter attacking play but Kacang's defensive mid and defenders fast to react. But Crescent's finally managed to score a long range shot(sebijik cm amri yahya) that make Zul Janggut frustrated with his positioning judgement.

The first half ended with 1-1. Kacang's skipper, Zul, talking during the half time,he furiously said "We underestimed them in the 1st half,we have a lot of chances but suprisingly did not manage to put the game into bed". He added that Kacang's looking to add more goals for the second half and bring the game to bed asap. The nuts changed the formation to 4-4-2 with star striker Wan . Faliq, Beq and Zam were introduced . Beq "Vucinic" was changed to the left flank, Faliq "Vela" left back, Zam "Alves" playing right back and Wan "Ronaldo" joined Syah "Scholes" upfront. The changed formation did favour Kacang's as they seems able to control the match especially in the midfield area. Wan "Ronaldo" proved that he still a prolific striker when his thunderous shot after just 20 seconds being on the field, makes it 2-1. After that,its all about Kacang's. Syah scored his 2nd goal of the game, with a nice volley. Then, Wan "Ronaldo" scored 2 more goals, to completed his "hattrick" and send the game to bed. That game finished with 5-1 result.

After the game, Syah that was handed the "MOTM" award earlier, quoted saying that " I believe that Kacang's can go far if they can keep this list of players", he also added that today game is unbelieveable and happy to help the team win today.

its a draw

The match against Gakerata was a well fought match. Both teams played counter attacking play ,with Gakerata attacking more in the second half, as most of the Kacang player were “pancit” by then .The best chance for kacang came when Faliq vela was given a nice thru ball, but hesitate to finish it of as he wasn’t comfortable taking a shot with his left foot .Gakerata had 2 clear chances ,both time the ball hit the frame work ,but refuse to go in. The kacang captain Zul vermaelen played the best game so far this season, with brave tackles and thunderous clearance. Kacang player of the match would have been won by zul,if only such award existed . Fahmi played the worst ,showing nervousness getting the most of him.Many time he was “gangbang” by Gakerata’s left wing ,and left back .Wan , Kacangs top striker made an appearance after recovering from an ankle injury,and showed glimpse of brilliance towards the end of the match. Over all, in can be concluded that kacang had a great day in the office .
Next match will be against Crescent at the shell field on Thursday,at 5.30. There wont be any ratings as I didn’t watch the whole game.

kacang players

plz bring rm 20 for fees next week during the match on thursday.We'll be playing againts Gakerata ,The venue will be confirmed .To those who doesnt have classes during the evening ,do come to the field to regain fitness after the long holidays.

Kacang Win Again!

Kacang scored their second win from two League matches and continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 2-0 win over Nakal FC.

Nakal's player put in a good effort in the 2nd half but on the balance of play Kacang were deserved winners. Despite the low scoreline both teams made plenty of good opportunities, including an unbelievable miss from Afiq Robben from no more than six yards out in the opening minute. Kacang then get their opening goal on 15 minutes when Hadi Melo’s thunderous shot was deflected by the defender past the hopeless Nakal's goalkeeper. The 2nd goal arrived few minutes later,when a long ball into the area deflected to a charging Afiq Robben and the forward slammed the ball into the back of the net.

In the second half, Kacang make few changes that somehow effected the game play. credit must be given to the likes of Amir, Chim, Fahmi, Qays and also the outstanding goalkeeping by Zul Janggut. In summary, another three points and another solid performance from Kacang's players.

We need to recruit - Qays

Qays with his Volkswagen beetle

Qays Clichy has voice out his opinion for the first time by saying the team need new players to win in big matches. The outspoken left back who had been by far the most consistent player in the team made his point earlier today. He clarified,"Kacang need 2 or 3 more additions in the squad to be equally competitive with others. Next season will be so much different for Kacang as a lot of players are away for their industrial training programs. A good friend of Qays by the name of Peng Trachowski is rumoured will be joining the team as a backup player. Qays added,"He is quite small but I like his determination, he fights for every ball".

Thanks guys!!

  I would like to thanks all the Kacang's players for their effort and determination this semester, althought we didnt managed to get through to the quater-final but we have shown a great character throughout this campaign by getting 2nd place in group stage by winning 2 game,a draw and lost 2 games(including the 2nd round knockout game). From what i observed, we were definately lacked in term of fitness and not hard enough when it come to a physical game. So,im hopping that we will improve more in term of fitness and physical next sem..its an honour to play with u guys..for those who will have to go for practical/intenship next sem,have fun and gud luck. Until then,get ready with ur notes and enjoy playing wif ur pen..buena suerte para su examen final!!!

                                                                                                                                

Arrivederci guys!

Usop (L) with a friend at a party in KL.

The Kacang board would like to wish all the best to Usop Fabregas for his contribution to the team. He has been a Kacang player for two years now (2007 -2009). He will be sorely missed on the pitch by the players. Although he has small frame, he tend to be very robust and is a no-nonsense type of player. The manager has confirmed that Usop will undergo his practical next semester in KL, so he will not be available for next season. Rumour has it that Kacang is looking for a new defensive midfielder to replace the absence of Usop. Among the candidates are Wizurai's Faiq, Black Emperor's big man Din and other honorable mentions. This is a short biography of him during his playing career:

- was coached under Bojan Hodak in the nike football youth academy (2003-2004)
- was a striker during his school days and used to have the "pace" back then.
- represent his school when he was 16 (Zon Bangsar).
- played for Wizurai FC back in Melaka (2005-2006) and Cyber (2006-2007) and was a central midfielder turned right back.
- hates being on the losing end of any football game, even during friendly matches.
- believes that Kacang FC can go far if they stay together and rates Syah Scholes and Qays Clichy highly.

Keep ur head up high!

Ok, we lost. But it is not the end of the world right?.Shit happens. A brave Kacang side were knocked out by a far superior team by the name of Cyberheat. They lost the game 4-1. It is the biggest defeat that is being tasted by Kacang this season. Injuries to the team and lacked match fitness did not help either. They were without key personnel up front, Faliq Vela and his influenced were sorely missed. I am bitterly disappointed about it, but try to look on the bright side. Kacang fc are now playing better as a unit and are not afraid to "play" their football. I am not in the mood to put out the ratings for the match, but i can assure you that this young team would only get better in the near future. All the best guys!, Thx for the experience;)
