Today is the first match of the Fenner soccer team...and our first team is the dark horse...Unilodge! Why I say it is the dark horse? Well...according to our senior, Unilodge soccer team is the worst last year...but things change!!! This year Paul, a winger of our team (Hong Kong Youth Team) said that Unilodge had form a HK Youth Team Defence.... This is really something that can change an entire team...not only that...they had started training since last semester!!!! WAUU.... When Tom (Fenner's soccer coach) announce the starting lineup... I was there in the starting lineup as a right back!!! I was quite happy to be honest...
Still we started the match rather scrappy...The pitch was slippery...I even fell down one time while I was defending...luckily they couldn't score that time haha!!! Unilodge on the other side...had some good passing...and constantly tearing down our flank defence...meaning...me... We really just survived the first half...though in the second half after some corrections and reminding from Tom....The Fenner team changed completely.... Holy (CB) the defence tower had been magnificent at the core of defence...and with our defence suddenly holding off their offence...our strikers and midfielders...who are rather scrappy as well in the first half started to attack constantly... It wasn't a surprise when Tristan (MF) knock in the opening goal in a goal mouth scramble. We finally lead!!!
The game continues and we started to dominate possession and started to create loads of chances...and after a while Tom sub me out with Thomas going in... The next few minutes later Unilodge got a corner kick...long pass wiped in...and the opponents just knocked the ball into the goal...simple goal...worse still....I didn't able to recall any defenders making a challenge on him...well...they managed to equalize then... An unexpected equalizer while the defense wasn't alert that time....
As Unilodge spirits started pumping high...Fenner team caught them in a surprise attack... Somehow...Justin slipped past between 2 CB ...let me repeat this...slipped past BETWEEN 2 HK youth team CB!!! and with the ball under his legs still... I had no idea what happened to the 2 CB...they looked totally stunned and pressured...and Justin cooly send the ball past the GK....2 vs 1... Unilodge roaring back trying to equalize...but almost!!! Almost...Fenner extend the lead through Justin If the lineman did not put up the flag at the sideline... But as everyone was debating over the waived goal...the referee whistled and Fenner had won the match!!! Hooray!!!
