Friendly at Sengkang Secondary

1) 7 Dec 2008 @ Sengkang Secondary~ 3pm Mungentster City 4 - KKZ 1 (3-0)

After beating KKK a week earlier, KKZ's schizophrenic form took another turn for the worse with an abject defeat at the hands of MCFC on Sunday. The majority of the damage seemed to be done in the first half as KKZ had no reply to the 3 soft goals they had conceded. They seemed to be on the backfoot for the opening 20 minutes when Nesh and Jeyraj had to be valiant against another one of those long ball Mungent attacks. However, their valiance proved fruitless after KKZ went down by two rather, soft goals. After the introduction of Hari and Bala, KKZ seemed to be a bit more attack minded, after they created clear chances only to squander them. The best chance of the half for KKZ was probably when Bala rattled the underside of the bar from an excellent freekick from outside the box. Barathi had 2 chances to bring KKZ back into the game but somehow it wasn't to be his or KKZ's day. The 3rd goal was just icing on the cake for MCFC as they became one of the first team after a very long time, to take a 3-nil lead over KKZ, at the break.

The second half was as frustrating as the first as KKZ were toothless in their finish. The recouperating Haresh was not at its best. Nayee once again did everything right except to apply the finish. Jeyraj, seems confused, after his numerous role switches has led/maintained his astray offside runs. After going another goal down, KKZ was determined to reduce the appalling 4 goal deficit. An array of corners and throw ins led to a penalty decision in where MCFC's 'Mee Pok' Richards handled in true John Terry's style. Captain Nesh applied some medication on KKZ's wounds as he stepped up to take the penalty that he earned. The skipper placed his penalty with power which cannoned off the bottom left post leaving keeper Cho Ee Har no choice. Shortly after, another fruitless KKZ attempt, the final whistle went.

As it was, the pilots of KKZ took a suicidal nosedive after the match ended on a humilating 4-1 loss at Sengkang Secondary.

Editor: It would be interesting to see the polls votes trend now. Whether Vinnie racks up the votes after another 'absent' performance, the absence of a keeper garners even more support or a quality finisher will be the main priority in the January Transfer Window.Hmmm....

The returning celebrity turned on the style after coming on in midfield, in where he burst through MCFC's midfielders several times, before sending in teasing crosses. He was KKZ's man of the match, and undoubtedly so, when he was the fulcrum and force in many of KKZ's attacks.
