Sunday
afternoon in Setia Alam was fairly good as the rain stopped just before the
match started. Heavy rain before the match had caused the pitch to cover with mud and water. Wet pitch and bad condition of the field doesn't stop CABJ’s spirit to collect 3
points.
First
half of the match, CABJ controlled the game perfectly. We passed the ball around and
waiting for the right moment to get through Subang FC’s defenders. Besides the possession, all of Subang FC’s
attacks were superbly defended by our defensive backline. First goal didn't come that late as Akif scored
a tap in in front of the goal. After an unsuccessful corner kick, the ball was
perfectly presented to Dzul Rahim’s feet as he volleyed the ball that went straight
to Akif to tap in the first goal. Keeper had no chance to stop his shot. CABJ
kept the game going and maintained the same momentum. CABJ's second goal were rewarded not long after the first goal as a long pass from Akif met Ikram to brilliantly place the ball at
the lower left goal. Subang FC’s goalkeeper came out early to block Ikram but he managed
to beat the goalkeeper with his blistering pace and a very cool finish.
Second
half of the match commenced, with both teams continued attacking from end to end respectively. With the wet pitch and both teams going all out, flying tackles coming in. It’s dangerous for players who didn't wear
their protection gear like shin pad as they might get injured with all this
tackles flying in. Luckily, no serious injuries occurred. It’s becoming more of a tense game
as both teams run out of steam. Subang FC managed to get a goal after a mistake from our defenders to let Subang FC winger to run freely and
scored the goal. All in all CABJ defenders did brilliantly to overcome Subang
FC’s attacks.
The
match ended with a win to CABJ. 2-1 the final score. Both teams showed great sportsmanship spirit as what has happened on the pitch stays on the pitch. Superb display by the boys as
everyone did excellently to overcome Subang FC’s attacking. Next game is against FTC Southern.
