SDARA 4 - Muar 1
Another loss. Muar paid the price for making too many mistakes in the penalty box, and also for losing the ball easily at midfield. I don't know what to say. I know they are capable of playing better.
We made too many mistakes in front of our own goal. SDARA's first two goals could have been avoided had we cleared the ball out of our danger zone. It took SDARA only three minutes to take the lead. Shahir, worked his way through Muar defence as if they were not there. Twelve minutes later, Khairul, doubled SDARA's lead with a stinging grounder when, once again, the Muar defence failed to clear the ball out from the danger zone effectively. Five minutes later, it was Shahrul's turn, from the penalty spot, to make the scoreline read SDARA 3 - Muar 0. Muar got one back just before half time. Working the ball from the right flank, Hasrul, sent a swerving drive from the top of the penalty box into the net. At half time, Muar went into the dressing room down by two goals.
The second half saw Muar gaining a bit more posession time and creating more chances. However, we kept making mistakes. Once again, SDARA was awarded a penalty kick when their striker was brought down in the penalty box. This time around, SDARA allowed their keeper to take the kick - he ballooned the kick into the sky. Twelve minutes later, Shahir scored his second goal of the night to make it SDARA 4 - Muar 1.
We were sitting pretty at the fourth position in the league. After this week's game, we could go down a few more spots.
News Flash!! This, I just heard from Zin (STAROBA). KT's player - Farid (didn't get his full name) passed away this morning. Innalillah.. Thus, the KT - STAROBA game is postponed to a later unspecified date. Alfatihah..
