MAS
Veterans 3-1 Celcom Group Network FC
(RJ 1, Capt Pacai 2)
11 January 2009
MAS Veterans continued their winning streak when they beat Celcom's Group Network 3-1 at Kelana Jaya field today. Rosli, who partnered Kadir upfront, opened the scoring when he unleashed an unstoppable shot from a fine Kadir's pass in the first set. Surprisingly, in the absence of his usual striking partner - Capt Nik, Kadir was in his element in the first set. He combined well with Rosli, and his darting runs into the box created a lot of problems to the opponent's defence. This may brought some bad news to Capt Nik, who might drop a few rungs below the pecking order. MAS Veterans should have scored more goals in the first set, but somehow the ball either hit the side netting, or landed on the LDP highway, courtesy from Mahathir's wayward shots.
In the second set, Capt Pacai and Rizal led the attack, and these speed demons created a lot of chances. But the team could only added one goal via Capt Pacai. Even Ruzi, who played at left back, had the chance to score, but his shot was well blocked by the keeper. Mahathir hit the rebound, and it was cleared off the line. It was just not a good day for him.
In the third set, Capt Pacai made it 3-0, when he outran the last defender and lobbed the keeper into the empty net. With 5 minutes left, Celcom Group Network finally got the consolation goal, when Mahzan scored with a fine volley, into his own net! Final score 3-1 to MAS Veterans.
