Highlights 15 June 2008

Perhaps, on the back of Singapore's exit from the World Cup Qualifiers the night before, the Emeralds appeared rather unmotivated and sluggish at the start of the game.

Match Higlights

Game started 30min late due to indulgent latecoming by half the team, again.

Opponents dressed in different AC Milan jerseys, with 3 Kaka's playing.

Poor marking and defending led the opponents to race to a 3-0 lead.

First half ended at 3-1.

Rennie was later fouled as he was sandwiched by two defenders while racing through on goal. Referee did not show the red card despite suspicions that opponent was the last man.

Confusion among oponents during the freekick as Rennie stood on the goal line beside the keeper, while their defender wanted to join in the tea party before instructed by his team-mate to move-up.

Freekick, just outside the box, was scored by Hatta, amidst protests of offside/obstruction of goalkeeper. Referee allowed the goal. (Dude, if u want the foul, u gotta at least attempt to save the shot ;) & fall, or somthing)

Opponents awarded freekick inside our box due to a backpass picked up by Hidayat. Ensuing freekick clipped the bar before going out.

Penalty awarded against Khairul for handling the ball, despite Adib's claims of ball-to-hand. Opponents scored.

We came back to score a third goal, but reporter missed the action and therefore, its not reflected here. This goal hasn't been updated in the assists/scorers list, so someone do help update k!
