Match Summary v Kg Lumut

We finally broke our little losing streak by beating Kg Lumut today, 3 - 2. It was a hardfought game, as we battled from a goal down at half time to finally take the lead in the last 10 mins.

Things started off on the wrong note when the Lumut right winger got brought down badly by Renny after a mistimed tackle. They felt they got hard done by when the referee responded with only a verbal warning. Chaos ensued in the next 15 minutes as things got abit crazy on the field. Tackles flew around and their strikers had to resort to diving in an attempt to get our player sent off. Lumut got their breakthrough eventually when a penalty was awarded, after the ref had deemed that Yusra went for the strikers legs rather than the ball. A bad call in my opinion, he should've called for offside instead! DRM responded in the best way possible, G Khai took the ball from the restart and went past at least 3 Lumut players before finally putting through a weighted pass, which Hadi got at the end of, and his cheeky chip over the keeper was as good as any debut goal scored before. Lumut were to take the lead a second time, this time from a 1-2 which left their striker in open space to rifle a shot past Yusra's right side into goal. Fadil & Julberg both had chances before the interval but weren't able to convert.

For the 2nd game in the row, we had our student brigade to rely on, and deliver they did. Orchastrated by Amir S in midfield, we had plenty of chances created, and were unlucky not to have equalised earlier. Amir Z was brought down in the penalty area but the ref waved play on, and Haidi had a few chances which couldn't find the target. The equaliser came from a run made by Shaheeb in defense, eventually finding Haidi who managed to flick on to Amir S for our 2nd goal. We pushed forward with more confidence, with Matin & Zainal both coming close. Ayyub on the right flank made a few runs in which also caused some problems for Lumut's defense. The 2nd half defense marshalled by Shaheeb & Limin were mean and stingy, and gave away very few scoring opportunities for Lumut, which Yusra mostly dealt with easily. Fakhrul coming on a 2nd time in the match eventually got the winner when he was set up by Mike inside the box, and he wasn't going to miss from there. It always looked like we were going to hold on to that lead, and when the final whistle came, we all breathed a sigh of relief. It always a good feeling when you win.
