PYFC 'A' Doubt as The Comeback Kids

PYFC 'A' vs Ramblers (played on Sun 17th May 2009 at USM D Field)

PYFC 'A' Management were left wondering where is their remaining players and why there is only 10 players turning up for the match against Hard Fought Ramblers at USM. Without any much choice, Fai's fielded all the players that He had to plays against Ramblers for the most of the First Half.

The first half was a dour affair as both teams struggled to adapt to the poor pitch condition. At the other end, Ah Han had a goal disallowed for a clear offside and Botak crumbling ridiculously to the ground each time Ramblers Michael came in contact with him... as if he was assaulted with a stick! But the tackles by PYFC 'A' on Ramblers players came in fast and hard until the referee did not get a chances to see it.

Half Time: PYFC 'A' 0 Ramblers 0

Relieves for Fai's and Beh after seeing Jay Wan walked to the pitch and getting His gear on for the match.

After the re-start, the match continued in similar fashion as Ramblers pushed in search of a lead while PYFC 'A' resumed their duties by tackling whatever or any Ramblers players with a ball at his feet to prevent them from scoring. PYFC 'A' were doomed and lets Ramblers taking the leads through Darlington free kick was knocked into the net by Ming to put PYFC 'A' down 1-0. This opened up the game and PYFC 'A' did not lost their fighting spirit and tried everything they can to snatch the equaliser. However, it was Ramblers' that stretched the lead further. A messy clearance from PYFC 'A' Defense caught Captain@Centerback Terry slipped and fell that led to Poay's feet and he gratefully curled the ball home beyond the outstretched arms of the keeper Oh Nie. With the 2 goals lead, Ramblers found themself crushing to a victory. But PYFC 'A' were left fighting for the goal and maybe the equaliser goal as well. Their fighting sprit finally paid off after their persistent forays into Ramblers half saw a free kick were conceded by Ramblers just outside the box with barely 10 minutes left to play. And when the ball was floated in, it took a wicked deflection and bounced to the far post for Alex to power his header into the net. PYFC 'A' has pulled a goal back. Then straight from the re-start, possession was given away and a long punt forward to Ah Han saw him shrug off the presence of Man for him to stride into the penalty area to plant a low shot pass Chris. It was to be Ramblers most costly 2 minutes as they threw away a perfectly good lead to allow PYFC 'A' back into the game and were let off the hook once again after 2-0 down to share the spoils with a Ramblers side itching for some payback for the quarter-final lost last season.

PYFC 'A' were left off the hook for the 2nd time. The 1st one from the past week Match against De' Butterfly when they came back from 2-1 down in last 5 minutes to snatched a 3-2 win. Cheers to PYFC 'A'.

Full Time: PYFC 'A' 2 Ramblers 2
