Heavy rain just 30 mins before the kick off nearly postponed the match, but luckily the rain resulted in a good weather as it stopped merely 10 mins before kick off. Genki Noob players were early at the field clad with their new black and white stripes jersey.
Bob "The Builder" has confirmed the re-signing of former skipper Samir Aie and he is set to start from the bench. Acap Brown were given the nod to start alongside FerdiNadeem and Faruk "AutoPilot" played at unfamiliar role at left back. Azim "Pelekat" have gained trust from the gaffer to start at right back after his impressive display last season. As expected, Mid Totti partnered Charles Essien and debutant Chunyang Masherano whereas Eskandar Macheda passed a late fitness test to be included in the starting eleven. Boynaldo was a surprise starter on the wing as he just arrived from oversea(Sabah) in less than 12 hours, could be jet lagged.
F&F as usual did not start the play well few minutes after ref whistled for kick off. F&F's defence seem unable to control and pass the ball well which former Kayu FC's winger, Syah Senoi tried to exploit. Mistakes by the defence gave Syah Senoi a chance to score but FerdiNadeem's last ditch sliding tackle made Syah Senois' life difficult.
That proved to be the best ever chance Genki Noob could ever get the whole match. Boynaldo nearly broke the dead lock when skipper, Zul Rossi's cross found Boynaldo at the far post but his shot was off target. After a few set pieces, F&F finally scored when Mid Totti's free kick found FerdiNadeem unmarked at the far post and got a free header to open his account for the new season.
F&F started the 2nd half by making changes few changes to the defensive and attacking lines. Zul "TakotLipas" and Shah "Boboy" were introduced to replace Faruk "AutoPilot" and Acap Brown whereas jet lagged Boynaldo and Eskandar Macheda gave way for Samir Aie and Affan Pedro. Samir Aie has been given a new role to play as target man upfront and Affan Pedro on the right wing.
F&F were given a free kick after Zul Rossi was manhandled from behind just outside the box. FerdiNadeem and Samir Aie both lined up to take the free kick and their un-rehearsed freekick manouver proved to be too confusing for the Noobs' keeper after Samir Aie unleashed a beautiful free kick passed the goalkeeper. F&F started to control the game after the 2nd goal. Charles Essien was then replaced by another debuntant Syafiq "Adik Noxs".
The gaffer made a tactical change by swapping Zul Rossi and Chunyang Mascherano's position. Chunyang Mascherano nearly scored when he was one on one situation with the goalie but Genki Noob's goalie made a clean tackle to prevent Chunyang from registering his 1st goal for F&F. Few minutes after that, F&F launched a counter attack which saw Affan Pedro and Samir Aie combining to create a wonderful opportunity for the 3rd goal and finishing off Genki Noob but Affan Pedro squandered the chance.
Shah "Boboy" played well on the left back to keep Syah Senoi quiet for the whole of 2nd half. F&F launched another counter attack when Samir Aie's killer ball found Chunyang Mascherano to score a wonderful curling goal and put the game beyond the Noobs' comprehension. It was a good result for F&F but overall there is a lot improvement to be made.
