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.
