Match Report: F&F and Phlamze share point

It was a physical encounter for both teams but only one yellow card was brandished throughout the full 90 minutes. The match could be more exciting if both linesmen made the right decision for offside. Both teams had an equal share of possession and the ball was mostly played at centre of the pitch. Last season's MVP, Boy P was a surprise inclusion in the team to play his last match for F&F before flying back to his hometown in Sabah.

F&F were shaky at the start of the game which the defence could not get the ball to their midfields resulting a few throw-ins against them but 10 minutes into the game it was game on for both teams. F&F midfielders were blazing through Phlamze's tough defence and nearly drew the first blood when skipper, Aie crossed the ball to the far post on the left side of the pitch only for debutant veteran winger, Abby, to miss-timed his diving header.

The match saw anchor men from both teams performing well for the teams as they broke down most of the attacking play. As expected, Jon did his job as usual but Zul K, has been promoted to the defensive midfield position to protect the back four, was impressive as well where he was running all over the pitch to break down Phlamze's attacking play and even joined Aie and Boy P blazing against Phlamze's defence.

Ferdinadeem and Nabeelja Vidic combined well at the centre of defence with their hard tackling and physical play that none of the Phlamze's rookie strikers manage to get a single shot on goal.

In the second half, Riza came on for Abby, Zul Rossi now playing on the left wing with Nadom Onuoha playing on the right wing. It was merely a dull second half, as both teams looked tired eventhough F&F did get couple of shots on goal and won few corners but none of it resulting a goal. Phlamze nearly killed the game in the injury time when they won a corner. Jon got away from his marker to head the ball but Azim caught the ball safely into his arms. In the end, both teams get a hold on one point.
