Today, school day passed by very slowly. I was only thinking about the match after school-MegaNs VS Cage. Well, actually i was not supposed to play as i was not in their team. But since i loved soccer and only played it for fun, i decided to play for MegaNs as they were short of players. It was a chance not to be missed as i had not been playing soccer often during the school holidays. Hence, i asked a couple more friend to play for them and evenge the defeat we took from the other team last time, where we lost 6-2. Although we knew that we would surely lose, as this team was supposedly considered weaker than Rage(my team),I knew that miracles happened if we had the fighting spirit in us. And so,right after school, we headed to the field to start the game.

During the team talk before the game, i found out that there were very field people in the team that i knew, only just a handful. However, everyone still seemed bonded and wanted to have fun and if possible, win the match. Well, heres how the match went, just the important parts though if i can remember them...

1st Half:
During my first run with the ball,dribbling past 2 players and about to dribble past another when the guy crashed right into me before falling down. As sportsman, we helped each other up before continuing the game.

Keane did one of his long goal kickc which went towards me. I got past Azeal before passing the ball to Matthew. I think the ball was a little too far. And hence, Matthew had to shoot from quite a tight angle which almost went in.

Cage attack! They had a corner kick. Daryls corner was perfect, in-swinging towards their teammate, whose header struck the post and saved by the keeper.Phew!

MegaNs attack! This time, someone set up for Tony who blasted in from close range. 1-0 to MegaNs!

Cage attacked again.. But our keeper did well to saved the shot. However, there was some miscommunication at the back and Daryl had the ball. As the goal was wide open in front of him, he had the task to score the equaliser.1-1.

Half-Time!
By this time, all the MegaNs members were very happy as we had managed to contain most of their attacks and only let in the goal because of a silly mistake.Besides, we had more of the chances and we played extremely well even though this was the first time we ever played together. Our defence was also extremely tight, not letting our opponents penetrate into our defence too many times, thanks to Keane. We were extremely motivated and thought that winning the match was still in our grasp.

2nd Half:
We played with much more confidence now, and it was starting to get more fun.However this time they had much more chances.

However we managed to score first. It was a brilliant tackle from Brandon or Mandel, who dribbled down the right flank.Seeing this, I ran through the middle hoping for a pass. And the best thing was, his pass was perfect! Leonard,the guy marking me could not get to the ball quick enough and i had the simple task to swerve the ball pass the keeper. I was elated! First goal for the team which i just joined today! Thanks for the assist!2-1.

However, as i was brimming with confidence, i got the cramps while chasing down a long ball. OUCH! I had to get off the pitch immediately as both of my legs were cramped up pretty tightly.However, as there were no more substitutes, we had to continue with 10 men.

Cage took advantage of their extra man and capitalised on that, scoring the equaliser soon after.2-2.It was extremely sad as it was because of me, leaving them with 10 men against 11.Sorry team.

They scored again after a while, through Hong Kai, deflecting the ball past the keeper.2-3.

The next goal was from Jasper, Cage's team captain.2-4.

After that i went home as my cramp did not seem to recover.However, i felt it was a good match. MegaNs were actually a very good team. With a very good defence. Lets just hope we will win them next time.Right team!
