DRM v Kg Lumut Liang FC Match Summary

We hadn't played a night game in a while, and were we in for a hard night yesterday under the BSRC floodlights. We were lucky to leave with a respectable score-line as it easily could've been a moonlight massacre.

The DRM team started of brightly however and infact we started off with the lead after about 20 minutes when Johnny was fouled 30 yards from goal. Amir D who has scored on both games since returning for a long paternity lay-off duly dispatched that free kick into the bottom left corner.

DRM enjoyed the lead for for awhile as it seemed that Adi Tabang (who was even subject to a birthday song whilst playing!) and Rahimin were able to hold at bay the quick and pacy LL FC wingers and attack.

The visitors eventually managed to drag themselves back into game towards the end of the half after substitute left back Ivan & Fakhrul were involved in what seemed to the referee to be a tussle with the LL FC striker. Much to the protests of the DRM team, the referee awarded the penalty and the game was back at all square. They scored an eventual second goal before half time and we went into the break down by one goal.

The second half was a slightly different affair as LL FC's passing game really took most of us out of the game. They were dominant on ball possession and we ended up having to chase hard most of the time. Their keeper even had the cheek to constantly launch his own attacks and even ended up scoring after beating the offside trap!!! Our only goal of the second half came when Amir S managed to jink his way past the left back and his finish reminded me of the Torres goal in the Liverpool - Chelsea game last weekend!
