A comfortable win today at UBD Sports Complex field against a friend who always greets me whenever he sees me in school in the past two years. His name is Amiruddin Hardy. The team we were up against are called Gambateh FC. As for us, we, Cobra FC, combined with SAS FC. There were lots of us - almost the whole team showed up (except for Ruzaini, Ajin, Ajis, Tayib, Goh, Kevin, Syu'aib, Vuili and Waie Saiful).
Early in the game, the first goal was scored by Omar and later was followed by Amin. It ended 0 - 2 in the first half. I was playing as a winger and honestly, I don't do so good in the winger position. Yes, I can support and run with the ball and look for players, but having to run up and down the field makes it worse. Once you're out of breath, you're done for. YOU'RE A GONER FOR SURE! Okay, I may have exaggerated a little bit, but yes - I don't think I might be able to cope up with the winger position any further. Also, I suck at finishing. Seriously. Definitely not the poacher type. Once the ball is with me, I only have a chance of 40% to shoot. Another 60% comes when no one interrupts.
The second half started and this time, we got another 3 goals. I'm confused on who scored the third and fourth. Was it Khaliq first or Afiq - but nevertheless, they scored! And that was Afiq's first goal for Cobra FC! Bravo! The last goal was scored by Amin whose ball hit the woodwork and into the net. Nice one! Gambateh FC got their equalizer in the final minutes to end game.
I had a great time today! Thanks for paying for the field and the invitation, Muq! Hoping for another match!

Gladiators FC 3 - 3 Cobra FC
I think we played one hell of a good match against Gladiators FC yesterday at Maktab Duli field. I played as a lone striker in the first half. I had a few chances which I was unable to convert to goals. We could've won, but Gladiators defended and played well.
In the first half, we somehow carelessly managed to concede 2 goals. Azrin's friend, Haziq who bravely ran up to join the attackers, slotted one for the team.
In the second half, they scored another goal which left us two goals behind. Time was still ticking, but we didn't give up. A beautiful freekick by Harith Waie from yards away left the goalkeeper awed and staring at the game ball which flew right over him and into the net. The last goal was scored from a sloppy freekick taken by me. The ball obviously was going out, but was kept in by one of the midfielders who was guarding the goalpost. Azrin tapped it in cooly and the scoreline was even.
For the record, Afiq received his first yellow card in his entire life! He was really mad, but football is football. Anyhoo, I am expecting another football match with the Cobras. Until next time! Thanks for reading!
