Match Report : Flames Fire CyberHeat Down

The match regarded as the Top of Table Clash surely did not disappoint the spectators as it was filled with dramas, tackles and controversial decisions by referee who did not even run but only stood and blew his whistle from the center circle.

F&F had to make last minute changes to the line-up as Nadom Onuoha and Zul "Takot Lipas" arrived just in the nick of time as both teams were walking into the field. The management would like to thank Syah "Boboy" and Boynaldo for being their professionalism as they had to make way for the late comers in the last minute.

The referee immediately showed his lack of competency by not spotting a foul on Ferdinadeem just few minutes after the kick off even though his linesman was able to see it. He seems too lazy to flag the foul, probably because of the fat in his arms is preventing him to do so. F&F however, manage to control the match throughout the first half with Mid Totti and Sohaib Karembeu combining non-chalantly in the middle with Nadom Onuoha 's covering them. Nadoms' game play was similar to Edgar Davids's aggressiveness, non-stop running, and hard-crunching tackles which make things difficult for CyberHeat's star, Jerry O.

Sohaib and Mid could have scored one each when they managed to dribble past the defence and the goalie but their shots were wide off the post. F&F again had a chance to open their account when Zul "Takot Lipas"'s cross found Nadom Onuoha unmarked at the far post but his diving header was saved by the goalie. CyberHeat did not get much opportunity to score until they were awarded an indirect free kick inside the penalty box because Acap "Brown" was judged to have pushed a CyberHeat's striker. Azim "Pelekat" was happy to see the effort went wide as the ball was deflected through the wall.


In the second half, the referee himself changed the tempo because of his dubious decisions. Both teams were not happy with most of his decisions. He failed to send off CyberHeat's captain when he was clearly putting out vulgar words towards the F&F players and only escaped with a yellow card. Kudos for the ref. The match was becoming more and more tensed but the combination of Sohaib and Mid was flawless as they managed to control the midfield well.

F&F finally scored through Iskandar Macheda when a corner kick by Mid Totti found him at the far post to head the ball unchallenged. From then on, CyberHeat kept on attacking but most of their attacks were spoiled by off side traps marshalled by Ferdinadeem. Acap Brown did well with his task of marking CyberHeat's target man and Azim "Pelekat" managed to clear the ball when CyberHeat's striker was one on one situation against him. Most of CyberHeat attacks came through their right wing who was fast and managed to put his crosses inside the box. Zul "Takot Lipas" needed Mid Totti's and Zul Rossi's help just to keep the winger at bay.

The score line lasted till the full time whistle was blown and F&F lead the Division 1 with 3 points gap with 100% win record after 2 games. Everyone played their part in this match and a special thank you to Det "The Dawg", Alip "Possebon" and Shah "Boboy" as they stuck by the team eventhough they were not in the team selection. Plenty more chances will come their way soon. F&F's next match is against Mantizs on the 27th of July.
