DRM v HSE Match Summary

1st half :

DRM Old Boy's started the game, a few of them appearing for the first time in DRM colours in a long while and they played like they've always played, in control and with purpose. Arch in particular caused alot of headaches for the HSE defense with his tireless running. Fadil was commanding at the back, always knowing when to pull the trap. Our first half goal came when Dilah's inswinging corner was met by Fakhrul who's powerful header punished the back of the HSE net. We tested the HSE defense several times after that goal, but never managed to break the deadlock, Dilah in particular having several chances which went sky high! Pg Shamhary who was playing for HSE had an excellent 1-1 chance to tie things up for HSE but was unlucky to have his shot canon off the crossbar!

2nd half :

The DRM New Boy's came on in the 2nd half, and we almost had a virtually new line-up. The back line was calm with the presence of Adi Tabang and Hammry playing the role of holding midfield. We finally managed to find the equaliser when Shaheeb was brought down in the penalty area, Adi Tabang took the honours and scored from the ensuing spot-kick when he tucked the ball into the bottom right corner. Shaheeb & Khai TSW gave us the edge in our chase for the lead with their skill and flair, but it was an old-boy in the midst, Aizul who orchestrated the attack which finally lead to that goal with his composure and an eye for an opening, when he put Victor through on the left flank. Victor managed to beat the offside trap and put in a low cross in, and Sulhi couldn't do better than tuck it in nicely with a superbly taken right foot volley which had enough sting to find the back of the net after the HSE keeper couldn't hold on to the shot. A definite early contender for goal of the season! We had another chance awhile later when Khai TSW's header went across the keeper but Yazid couldn't connect.
