This 7-on-7 match, Team A had a game plan. The 2 defenders me and Tang Yao do not go wide. Instead we compress in the middle. We let them run in the flanks and we cut off their crosses. Team B were all-out attack. Their formation were like 0-0-6.

Team A take in their pressure and play counter-attack. Basically me, Tang Yao, Wee Zheng, Alex and Kang Xiang defended very well. The 3 midfielders Wee Zheng, Alex and Kang Xiang would bring the ball from defence to attack. Ah San waited in front, hold the ball and release to the 3.

How Meng also did well as goalkeeper. Saving a few shots.

The match was deadlocked for a long time. Ah San opened the account putting Team A ahead 1-0. Then Wee Zheng with a tyco cross, a Team B player scored an own goal. 2-0.

The match was supposed to be over at 2-0. The sky was already dark. But we continued playing. Glen managed to pull one back. Shyong Ming equalized with the last kick of the game. Javier, Nicholas, Uncle Justin and David are dangerous players. It took a tremendous effort for Team A to keep them at bay. David's friend returned to play after around a year. There's also this new Malay boy who played in the 5-3 game.
