SP vs RP -=[Match reported by Mr Evangelista]=-

It was a match which should never be allowed to happen. And I repeat. NEVER! The mood was too relax,passes were slack,shots were seldom seen and it seemed more like a friendly match then a match hyped to be exciting as RP starts the IIVP season against the stylish SP team. Let me say once again SP that this should neva happen again b4 i start this report.

The match started loudly as the SP cheered their trademark FORZA SP! and triple SONG BO! blasts as they began their search for their 3 pointz. RP was not to be overawed as they too cheered loudly with their strong fanbase up in the stands. SP began with the stylishly fitted line 1 led by forward Farok and marshalled by Shamil and Zaki at the back. The midfield was not to be left behind with the talented Taqi and Faliq as the fans shouted their names several times over. SP won the initial face-off and the match began at a sluggishly slow pace. However, Line 1 has to be commended as they gained the initial 1-0 lead in the first period with Taqi chipping over the keeper following neat work from the defence upwards. Line 2 was not to be outdone although they didnt score in the 1st period but their distribution made sure evri1 had a chance to attack. Line 3 played their usual conservative game as the game dragged on.

The 2nd period began much more livelier as a national player,Eddie came over to give us some tips on our performance and tips on how to improve better. It cheered us quite well considering the fact that we had no fans at all and was feeling rather empty. We began to wake up as we began to play more offensively. Line 2 started with power play as an RP player obtained a 2 min penalty at the end of the first period. Line 2 controlled play for 2 mins but found no way through a tight RP defence. Line change soon followed from then on, and no goals were seen yet much improvement was seen in SP as they followed the tips from Eddie. Line 2 then began running the game as waves and waves of attack began on the RP fortress. Hafiz and Adzmin relentless runs were often regulated with slick short passes from Akil and Zal as lone striker Dzaki tried his best to find a way past RP. Suddenly, agst the run of play, a loose ball from the RP defence came invitingly to Akil playing safety in half-court. Without much thought, he took a swift and silent dragshot into the top right hand corner of the net which gave the RP keeper no chance whatsoever as he was screened by the mass of bodies in front of him. Evri1 go berzerk as Akil juz swung his index finger round and round in the air amazed at his wonder goal. Celebrations were swift as SP congratulated each other and evri1 then began to took their chances from afar and from near. SP was truly dominant in this period.

Eddie came again to compliment us and gave us more tips on how to change our types of attacks as well as using the defence more to attack. The third period was even more dominant by SP but many errors were seen yet unpunished. These mistakes has got to be rectified early and abolished immediately. Slick and fast passing were seen and the magnificent Taqi got his second goal via a nice run from the left. SP ended this match on a high but yet it was'nt much worth talking. Much was expected yet none was delivered. Much better performance is expected against SMU. If performance drops,i will have to consider fining the whole team. And REMEMBER, abstain from the seven deadly sins during this IVP period. Should anyone be seen doing those, a hefty fine and he will immediately be dropped from subsequent matches. Thank you.
