60' End of 2nd third.

65' Excellent cross by Clarence, but Sati fails to connect from 5 yards! What a chance!

67' Sati burst clear, but his shot is weak and is blocked by the keeper's legs.

73' Choong releases Pradeep down the right, who easily beats his man and sends in a cross to Kayue, whose shot from 3 yards is saved by the keeper. WHAT A WASTE! IT LOOKED EASIER TO SCORE! :(

75' Clarence loses the ball in the corner, but he somehow fights back and wins the ball back! He then lays it to the onrushing Kayue who lets fly from 20m. But somehow the goalie tips it wide with the shot arrowing for the far corner.

78' Kayue bursts down the right, cuts back to Clarence, who then lays it square to the unmarked Eugene at the penalty spot. His sidefooted effort cannons off the crossbar!

80' GOAL!(2-3) The keeper makes a mess out of a simple backpass and choong nips in to tap into an open goal. GAME ON!

81' Eugene plays a splendid ball with the outside of his right boot to release Kayue. He stretches for the ball and beats the goalie to it, but his shot trickles wide!

85' The ball is released down the right flank to Daniel Kao, who fires in a shot. But again, is thwarted by Lester, who gathers at the 2nd attempt.

90' Full time!

Not quite Istanbul, but a valiant fightback by the ACJC(present) Team after a dismal first half. (:

But credit to the ACJC(past) team who showed us goals win the game, not chances.

ps. Happy Holidays (:
