Record win!!!

8-0 and the results speaks for itself.
And there were many incidents, good and bad.
The game was full filled with fun, joy, laughter and excitement that there are too just too many things to write.
So just a quick sum up here.
Just minutes after kick-off, we scored our first goal from Haikal.
We thought the match would be tough since the opponents are all big-sized.
However, right after the first goal, we scored another, this time through Shafie.
3-0 next and Shafie scored his second.
4-0, Haikal scored again.
So both our strikers for that day scored at least 2 goals.
Great achievement there.
We brought quite a number of subs too, at least 2 we supposed.
So there were many unofficial sub-ins and sub-outs.
Then Shakur's boot was torn apart.
So he lend 'Ammar's boot since he was benched for a moment.
Charles, our left winger, made it 5-0.
& just when the "officials" said "last attack" for the stoppage time, Ámmar came back to the pitch, bootless, with only socks.
We were not expacting much from him though.
But nevertheless he went on to attack for a goal to pay back his own goal in the previous match.
His goal was so unbelievable because he just toe-poked it into the empty net since the on-rushing goalkeeper collided with him.
He was dame tyco/ lucky there.
HAHA.

So 1st-half:6-0

There was nothing much left to play for since we were sure we're gonna win it.
It's not complacency or over-confident but the score tells it all.
So the next half we played a little more relaxed, not serious at all.
As in we played our sipmle game of one touch passes and nice shots.
It was all out attack.
There were only two men or rather three men at the back and they were left-back Aman and right-back Syariff.
The comical part is that Shakur is playing as a keeper.
HAHA.
Is it some kind of mockery, I don't know.
So the center are being left out empty most of the time but still the opponents could not get past any of us.
Not a single shot.
Only twice attack from them.
And our player were dominating the play and more then 70% of us were at the opponent's side and penalty box.
So the beautiful game has brought to an end as most of the opponents start to play rough in defending their goal.
And once our player was being challenged, brought down and fouled inside their penalty box.
So we cried for "PENALTY"!
And eventually we got it.
Shafie took it.
However he didn't finished it cleanly.
His first shot had sent the keeper at the right direction forcing to save it.
However Shafie took the rebound and scored into the empty right side of the net.
7-0.
In the dying minutes of the game, Amir solo-ed his way past many defenders to score his 2nd goal for ashburton.
So the match went clean sheet for both Nazri and Shakur.

FINAL SCORE:8-0!

Starting Line-up:
Nazri;
Syariff, Amir, Hafi, Shakur;
'Ammar, Adam, Hanif, Charles;
Shafie, Haikal.
Subs: Aman, Johnathan.

6th WIN.. Come one ashburton.. We can do it!!!

The game started pretty late then supposed time..
Nearing 4pm, the opponent kicked off with 10 men, while we were with 11 men.
Its not our fault as normal field play is understood 11-a-side.

The game started off quite weak at the attack and the defence work more then the forwards.
It was quite a boring goaless first half.
There were many corners won by us but we failed to capatilize on any.
Johnathan once hit the post and Nazri's brilliant freekick was just too high.
And then Ámmar accidentally blocked a shot from and Shakur and so forth.
The match went evenly in both ways, but our team had more chances, opportunities to score with 1 man advantage.

Syafiq was bored at the back then and he said something like this:
"2ND half the attackers go defend, the defenders go attack."
HAHA
That was quiet funny with the fact that could be possible as the attackers and midfielders were not doing their work well at first.
Then Syafiq came with a brilliant idea with Nazri.
Our players were attacking from the right and the opponents had hard time defending their left side.
Then both Syafiq and Nazri saw an opening on the left of our side.
Within seconds, they were already on the opponents penalty box, coming from thier own penalty box.
How did they do it?
Nice attacking play that moment and Syafiq saw himself on the scorer list for the first time in his ashburton career.

However throughout the first half, Syafiq was quite unproductive in his clearings and stuffs as he was joking around with Hafiz and Nazri.
Hafiz, our keeper for the match was lucky enough not to concede any early goals, seeing Syafiq was caught off guard.
Once the opponents corner hit Syafiq's throat and it went into loose ball, before
Hafiz pushed it away.
It could have gone either ways for the first half.

HALF-TIME...
Our players were seen having good buzz of team talk in the changing room.

Then 2nd half started with ashburton leading a goal to nil.
And ended with a 5-1 trashing after being trashed 1-7 to ryan's team last week.
Incredible huh?

So Haikal merely found his scoring boots back, after a goal-draught, as he netted two goals to make it 3-0.

Then Ámmar said he wanted to score one goal too.
And surprisingly he did.
An own goal.
OMG, could you believe it.
And Hafiz was like quite upset because his clean sheet was spoilt due to that costly mistake.
3-1.

Shafie were on his scoring form too.
He then scored a brilliant tyco shot from the right side of their penalty box and hit top left corner post before it went over the line for a goal.

There were a few drama where the opponents were quite unhappy with us especially when there was an argument whether it was a penalty or free kick to them due to syafiq's hand ball, near our own box.
As everyone agreed it was a free kick then, the game was again disrupted while we were arranging our wall for it.
One of the opponent said you all don't know how to play soccer isit.
However, he's the one who could not wait for our wall to organize.
Look who's talking man.

That same guy then tripped Hafiz shortly after their freekick and Hafiz went down to the ground flat, face down.
Luckily he did not hit any rocks that was near where he fell.
Or else he would be bleeding profusely then.
Everytime he played for us, bad luck was on his side.
Maybe that's why he was absent from the team for so long.
INJURY WOES.

Finally, Nazri then tapped home an easy goal just before the match ended.
Actually Hafiz was the one who had the ball in the first place, but he passed to Nazri hoping that Nazri would pass back to him and made him appear at the score sheet for the first time too.
But Nazri was abit selfish to do that and instead Nazri scored his first goal for us after only one game.
