PPA snatch late equaliser!

A quick one. Another late start to the game, and it seems like the new DRM strategy is to turn up late, make sure the ref’s arrival is also delayed so it doesn’t look like we’re the cause of the kick-off delay, and all that to ensure we don’t play more than an hour so we don’t get caught out late in the game with tired legs! Seems to be getting us the results however!

We continued our experimental 3-5-2 on the field, with Hailmey playing a deep holding role similar to the job Flamini would take on for the Gunners and it definitely gave us the advantage in the middle of the park as it allowed G Khai and Amir our more creative players to play to their strengths.

It wasn’t however until MOTM Ari came for the more defensive One Tabang to play left-wing back that we put our two first half goals away. Ari on both occasions initiating two quick counter attacks from the flanks, the first one putting Amir S free and through on goal where he rounded the keeper and made it easy for Julberg to tap in, and the second setting up G Khai for a slammer from outside the box.

The second half saw up set up stall for a more defensive performance, G Khai and Nazrul playing centre-backs with the big Saiful Bulan infront of them, and although it looked like we would hold on to the lead for most of the game, we eventually let in the equalizer and that was how the game would end.
