PSC proved to be our bogey team yet again with a resilient 2-1 win over Team Orange that has taken their record to 4 wins out of 4 against the same opposition.
2 goals from 2 corners proved fatal as (Manager) Michael pulled one back late in the game for a nervy ending. An unmarked header from their lanky striker and a cool tap-in from Alan the Croatian was enough to seal their less than deserved victory. But a win's a win any how you put it.
Team Orange played the entire match with a make-shift defence that had Aik, Michael, Adrian and Au running the back-line in the first half and ended with a defence that had no one taller than 5"6' as Seng, Sin, Adrian and Tee Oon took over in the second half. But despite the mix-and-match, they performed admirably and limited PSC to just a few half-chances.
Keon and Brown missed a hatful of chances which they should have tucked away comfortably. Among those was a one-on-one in the first half that Keon managed to fluff with only the keeper to beat. While our midfield was disorganized in the first half, they clicked into gear in the second and had the PSC defence under a lot of pressure. Jason anchored the midfield with his usual industry and power just like Michael Essien does for Chelsea while Ming, Brown and Keon was our focal attacking points.
But the damage was already inflicted in the first half from a lack of concentration and if we are to be challenging for silverware this year, we have to take games like this as a lesson and make sure it never happens again.
