Away league match
RS return to the game after 2 frustrated lost, before the game Mr.Coach revealed that Yee Au & Edmund missed the match as Yee Au is out due to injury & Edmund is sent to Dubai for extra warm training.
RS make a slight tweak in the lines up with 1-legged Ad anchoring the midfield he is joining by Wai Loon & dynamic YY who is just return from the happiness of new born baby, Kam is marshalling the defence with Patrick Jnr, Rooy leading the line as usual.
This is the forth meeting between RS & Flex, RS remained unbeaten in the previous 3 meeting & they would like to remain the perfect record.
RS start the game a little kelam-kabut today, with some wayward passing around. This is no surprise given the RS's squad lately is been hit with some injuries & form.
RS though still managed to lead the game through Wai Loon, Rooy who received the ball on the left flank, Flex gave him the time to turn & he drive towards the penalty box, chopped back onto his right foot & rifled towards the goal, keeper make the save but spilled the ball, Wai Loon arrived in time & pick up the free & big durian, passing the ball with his left into the empty ball. RS lead 1-0.
after the goal, Flex did try to raise their game by putting more pace into their game, RS stands firm & control the possession.
RS lead 1-0 at half time.
RS start the second half brightly, send on Firdaus & skipper SB in place of Lau & Wai Loon, an interchange between Rooy & YY won a corner, Johnson send in a in-swinging corner met by RS defender & headed the ball to the goal, keeper against make the save but Rooy is on hand to tap the ball in in the air. RS lead comfortable at 2-0.
However, a blunder play in the midfield by loanee Puru give Flex FC a route back in the game. YY as usual, pressed hard & won the ball back, pass to Puru who try to do a Pele+Maradona+Zidane+Kaka+Messi turn ends up given the ball away to opponent, their midfielder took the short early from just outside the ball & flew past keeper & IN.
RS try to find the third goal to killed off the game but not able to, Flex continue to fight hard, SB & YY's midfield duo is not give them an inch at all & keep Flex at bay.
RS's resistance finally broke down at the stroke of 90 mins, Flex able to find a pass to their #7 who caused all sort of problems for RS, Kam try to intercept the ball but missed it & Adrian try to cover by flip the ball up but #7 is quick & strong, try to outpaced & outmuscle Adrian, Heng try to help to Adrian but totally missed the ball, at the tight angle #7 able to strike the ball high onto Adie's guarding net.
End of game, RS 2-2 Flex FC too.
An improvement from RS after 2 successive defeat, but still feels like a defeat for the team as leading 2-0 & conceded at the death.
Post match RS Coach Mr.xXx hope team don't give up & continue to be better in terms of manage game & overall play between the players.
