Shao Jieh
Lye - Kugz - Beng Chye - Fajar
Jimmy Chong - Derek - Liverpool - Kheng Aun
Jimmy - Ang

Subs: Kheng Aun (Vincent Tan)

I were left frustrated after seeing only 9 players turning up for the friendly match arranged. Looking elsewhere whether can find anyone playing for us.

Luck was with him. He saw Derek's and his bunch of players were training around the area. Without any delaying, he seek Derek for help. Derek's showing his pithiness to Tony's by offering Loans for his players.

I take this opportunity by offering 1 day loan contract to Kugz 'Ferdinand', Fajar 'Evra', Jimmy 'Nani' Chong, Derek 'Ronadez', Vincente 'Rodriguez' and 'Philipp' Lam.

After the massacre, finally I've made up my mind on choosing the Starting XI for the match. The match started quite even with both Team piled on the pressure on each other.

Belia Gelugor came closed to scoring their 1st goal of the match with a long range but was parried away by PYFC Junior Keeper Shao Jieh.

Few moment later, Fajar 'Evra' were given the opportunity to take Free Kick from just outside the 18-yards box. Unfortunately, he placed his free kick just in the center to let the Keeper easily tips it over the bar for corner.

Belia Gelugor finally getting another chances to score from a long range cross but PYFC Keeper were alert for the long ball by running up front to grab the ball but the ball was slip up high, btw, Shao Jieh cover back his error by jumping up high for the ball with his knee raise to prevent someone come near him.

Finally, Belia Gelugor managed to broke the deadlock with a nice through passes beating PYFC offside trap. Keeper making a blunder for miss kicking the ball that went straight to opponent leg to run ring round him into an empty net. He were left laying on the ground dejectedly.

PYFC response well to the goal mistake by their own Keeper. The found their equaliser from the superb run down the flank by Derek's and sending the ball to Ang to cooly sloted it in to make it 1-1.

PYFC suffering a massive blow when Kheng Aun@Nani was forced to be Substituted after sustaining injury. At the same time, Vice Capt. Vincent Tan was ready to replaced him. I advice him to play more as Central Midfield and switching Liverpool to play as Right Flank.

Nothing much happen after the Substitution as the Ref blew for the Half Time wistled.

Half time: PYFC hold on to 1-1

2nd Half Squad
Oh Nie
Chun Lam - Kugz - Beng Chye - Vincente
Derek - Vincent Tan - Kok Chuan - Jimmy Chong
Jimmy - Ang

Subs: Kugz (Fajar), Vincente (Lye), Jimmy Chong (Liverpool)

During Half Time, I has spoken to the Junior Keeper on his mistake cost us the goal. He admitted he making the mistake. Without any further delaying, I have make 4 changes to the Starting XI from the 1st Half squad by bringing in experience Penang Chinese State Keeper Oh Nie, speedy fullback Chun Lam on the right for Lye, Vincente for Fajar as Leftback and Central Midfielder Kok Chuan for Liverpool.

The changes did not work out well. After few minutes of playing in the 2nd Half, Lam making mistake from the back passes by Central Midfielder Kok Chuan to him. He left the ball when past him and straight to opponnent scoring their 2nd goals of the day. PYFC caught themself 2-1 down.

Although they were trailing against Belia Gelugor, nothing to lose from PYFC as they keep on pushing hard for the equaliser or more.

Loan player Derek's did a lots of hard work down the flank with impressive and costly low crosses for our Strikers and Offensive Midfielder to score, but nothing prove to be worth for PYFC. The missed several chances by firing blank and superb saves from Belia Gelugor Keeper.

The hard work from PYFC players finally paid off from brilliant Free Kick took by Vice Capt. Vincent Tan. Instead of taking a direct shot on Keeper, he unselfishly crossed the ball to Kok Chuan who was left unmarked that time to cooly control and slotted the ball past through Keeper leg. A sound of 'Ole'!!! and 'Five Ringgit'!!! was heard from supporters stand. Is 2-2 now for PYFC.

PYFC players does not have a singled minute to take a deep breath because Belia Gelugor pressing hard for another goals. They wanted the match so badly, nothing, just a win.

This time, Belia Gelugor came closed to taking the lead for the 3rd times but was denied by on rushing out PYFC Keeper Oh Nie to boot the ball away from opponent Striker. From the clearance, PYFC came strongly back with Counter Attack down on the Left Flank by Jimmy Chong. He beats all the players came closed to him with his speed and forced his way into 18 yards box to face 1:1 with the Keeper, but unfortunetely, he push the ball too far from his leg and went past the Keeper and out for a goal kick.

After the Counter Attack from Jimmy Chong's, he found himself being brought down and that led him to sustaining another injury lay off. The immediate impact was bad for Jimmy Chong. Without any 2nd thought, I've replaced him with Liverpool to prevent further injuries to him and will led to Derek grumbling next to my ear for injuring his star studded player.

The Substitution proved costly for PYFC. Midfielders did not stay to the positon they belong. Midfielders keep on switching places with Defenders and Strikers. Once I see Lam going forward to receiving through passes from Ang, while Derek fall deeply to Lam place as fullback.

Opponent taking this advantage by cutting past through the middle and sending strong low ball to Striker to cooly placed it beyond on rushing Keeper to making save. PYFC is caught down to earth once more time. Is 3-2 for Belia Gelugor. Another Substitution from me by bringing on Lye for Vincent as fullback. We need more experienced players there and to keep the scoreline.

With several minutes left, PYFC keep on pushing hard to equaliser for the 3rd times but nothing went right for them. Another good crosses from Derek's right to the head of unmarking Kok Chuan to head the ball into an empty net, but he choosed to used his knee to score and proved to be a miss. The ball straight went wide.

There is chances as well for Ang and Jimmy, but their strikes was parried away or saves by Keeper.

Final Score: Belia Gelugor beats PYFC 3-2
MOTM: Derek 'Ronadez' as voted by today players.
PS: I have officially making offer to all the Loans players to sign permanently for PYFC. :D
