Match Report : Flames Burn Through Spirulina

It was windy and cloudy evening which was a good omen for a football match but the match started late because the arrival of the referee and his two match officials was delayed by 'Teh'O Ais' pit stop :P .

Zul "Takot Lipas" managed to arrive in the nick of time as both teams were lining up at the center circle. The only surprise inclusion in the starting line up was Atoi "Pinky" who managed to pass the fitness test in the morning.

Spirulina seems to have signed two players from CyberHeat but F&F started well with Mid bursting past Spirulina's midfields to unleash a flaming through ball for skipper Zul Rossi but Spirulina's defender did well to intercept the pass. From then on, the ball was mostly played in the opponent's half where F&F managed to control the match with their attacking play.

Shots from Zul Rossi, Iskandar Macheda, Zul "Takot Lipas" and Atoi "Pinky" was blocked by the defenders and goalie. Everyone thought Iskandar Macheda have scored the first goal when he managed to lob the goalie who was at no man's land but instead, it struck the goalpost. Mid Totti scored his first goal from a free kick just inside the center circle thanks to a freaky blunder from the goalie who did not get a clean catch. Spirulina's attacks mostly came from counter attacking play. Their new signing from CyberHeat playing at the left wing managed to intercept the pass from Farouk "AutoPilot" for Ferdinadeem which left the veteran defender stranded from the winger's quickness but he did not take his chance when his shot was nowhere near the goal post. Mid Totti disrupted the defence with his blazing long balls for the 3-man attack up front.

The first half ended with 1-0, with F&F looking to add more goals for the second half. The gaffer changed the formation to 4-4-2 without any substitution. Zul "Takot Lipas" was changed to the left flank, Nadom Onouha left back, Zul Rossi playing right wing and Atoi "Pinky" joined Iskandar "Macheda" upfront. The changed formation did not favour F&F as they seems unable to control the match especially in the midfield area which they did not have Nadom Onouha to protect them. Bob "The Builder" decided to undo the formation back to 4-3-3 but this time Zul Rossi was the holding midfielder behind Mid Totti and Sohaib Karembeu.

With the score line has not change, the gaffer made few substitutions by bringing on Syah "Boboy" (left back), Det-co (right back), Ibrahim "November" (left wing), Acoy "Altec" (striker), Boynaldo (right wing) and Alip Possebon(free role?). Azim "Pelekat" made his first and last save when Spirulina was awarded a free kick just outside the D box. Late into the second half, Mid Totti again got on the score sheet this time with a beauty in swinger shot straight from the corner kick!

Even though F&F managed to win this game, skipper Zul Rossi is still not satisfied with the performance especially the second half which he described as "rusty" and the team should have scored more than 2 goals.
