A MISSED PENALTY, A DREAM DEBUT, AND GOALS GALORE AS MUNJENS RETURN TO WINNING WAYS


Two defeat in two games to start of the new year might be too little to spark off an emergency outcry in the Munjen camp, but no one could disagree that another defeat would surely pile up further pressure to the players and management.

Munjens were careful in their build-up to this game, revealing their starting line-up only 12 hours before the game. Team caretaker Fir was made to do last-minute reshuffling however, when star striker Lucien pulled out last minute due to illness. With little choice left, Fir rang Sanjay up, hoping for a miracle answer.

Starting line-up: Amin (GK) Siu Sing (RB) Aarong (LB) Peter (CB) Kenneth (CB) Fir (RW) Terence (LW) Sanjay (CM) Jiewei (CM) Hafriz (FW) Darius (ST)

It was surely a much-needed boost when the team found Sanjay reporting for the match in the morning. Little did they know however, that this player would be making his dream debut for the team today.

Munjens pressed on from the start, but shots from Jiewei and Darius could only grace the upright. Sanjay and Hafriz had fierce shots on goal too, but the opponents seemed determined to put on a resilient fight.

The deadlock was finally broken however. Good play down the middle sees the ball played through to Sanjay from Fir, and the debutant made no mistake to open the scoring for Munjens.

It was 13-2, the final score, with goals coming from Hafriz (3), Fir (3), Darius (2), Sanjay (2), Peter (1), Jiewei (1), Terence (1). Munjens probably had trice the number of shots on goal - and would have definitely have made it 14 had it not been for Amin's saved penalty kick.

It was defiitely a game worthy of a replay, as Munjens showed good organisation and link plays. Even the defenders grabbed a few assists to their names.

Back to wining ways, Munjens are definitely looking forward to their next game in 2 weeks' time.
