Edged Out In Extra Time

Ramblers were finally halted at the semi-final stage of the Chinese Super League by Inpro SC, thus denying them a first Final appearance at City Stadium. It was a heart-breaking moment in a dull match but Inpro dealt the decisive blow 5 minutes into extra-time when a through ball sent their striker clean on goal and he kept his nerve to place the ball low and hard beyond the keeper. Surprisingly, Ramblers failed to produce their usual never-say-die attitude and as the minutes ticked away, Inpro knew that the 1-0 result was enough and defended stoutly. For Ramblers, it was another disappointing result as their semis curse struck yet again. Will they ever appear in a Final? We would like to think they will. But in the mean time, there is obviously lots of work to be done for the boys in blue before we can see that being a reality. And the upcoming Chinese League represents the best occasion to prove that they deserve a Final appearance.

Final Score:

Ramblers 0 - Penang Chinese Sports Club (Inpro SC) 1
