Unknowns triumph in exhilarating top of the table clash.

On this Sunday's top of the table clash, Unknowns United defeated Choa Chu Kang FC 2-1 at Punggol Secondary this morning, in what proved to be a breathtaking fast-paced football match.

In the process, Unknowns dealt a devastating blow to CCK FC's own title hopes, having done the "double" over them with a 1-0 victory at their home ground earlier this season.

Both sides flew out of the blocks and played some fast and furious football, CCK FC's Malay contingent displayed some nimble footwork, but Unknowns were equal to the task and defended resolutely while countering with some quick passing movement.

The backline, marshalled by goalkeeper Jais, held firm. Vincent, Apple, Leslie and Alvin stood stoutly in front of Jais to absorb everything that CCK threw at them.

In the 30th minute, CCK FC took the lead through a piece of individual brilliance that the Unknowns could do nothing about-A thunderbolt from 25 metres that pierced the net.

A goal down, Unknowns quickly stepped up their game and within minutes were back on level terms. Sherman released a through ball down the right flank that initially appeared to be travelling slightly too fast and out of the reach of Botak.

But Botak summoned all of his pace and swung in a wickedly deceptive low cross that squirmed through the legs of CCK keeper in a classic "Massimo Taibi" re-enactment. Unknowns leading scorer Jian Hua was waiting patiently at the far post and gobbled up this early christmas gift with a simple tap-in for his eighth goal of the season.

The second half was pretty much the same, both teams probing and trying to find an opening. It finally came when Sherman found himself one V one with the lanky keeper. His initial chip was parried by the keeper but it fell back onto the path of Sherman, who drove the ball into the back of the net for a sweet finish. 2-1

It was nervy stuff now. CCK FC desperately tried to salvage a draw in order to keep their title ambitions alive and relentlessly pressed their men forward in search of an equaliser. Unknowns backfour were now without captain Apple and saw right-back Alvin shoved to the middle but the makeshift backfour defended resolutely and sometimes haphazardly but in the end it all didn't matter as the scoreline remained status quo.

Unknown said...: Unknowns Sink FC Bayern Singapura
In Sunday morning match, Unknowns United took a giant step towards the league title with an exciting 3-2 against the FC Bayern Singapura.
The Unknowns came into the match missing a large chunk of the regulars, like midfield "Marshaller"(Where did that come from?) Becky, "throw-in specialist" Tinky, "Better late than never" Andy, "Iron Head" Alvin and "Midfield Shipper" Gabby, all missing due to off-field commitments.
The game began with both teams canceling each other out, especially in midfield, where Json and Botak did a good job in slugging it out on the bald centre circle. The breakthrough came when a "turn-and-turn" move by botak drawn a challenge from a defender and send him tumbling down in a heap. After consultaion with the linesman, the referee ruled that the infringment was inside the box and a penalty was awarded without much fanfare. Up stepped Zhenrong to send the keeper the wrong way cleverly, despite the goalie's best effort to outwit him. The rest of the half continued with The unknowns having the upperhand, take advantage of the clumsy-ness of FCBS's self-proclaimed "captain" to launch several maruding attacks that they manged to absorb.
Second half begin with traffic still flowing the same direction, with the unknowns attack creating all sorts of trouble for FCBS's defence. However, FCBS got the equaliser against the run of play. A moment of hasitation to shoot just outside the opponent's box resulted in the ball being lost and FCBS launch a lightning quick counter attack which ended with their striker "tonjol-ing" a rocket which flew past Goalie Jais into the top corner.
Bouyed by the goal, FCBS step on the pedal and created more threatening moves, and one of them led to their 2nd Goal. a innocuous cross crom the left wing caught goalie Jais in no man's land and the ball bounced into the goal in the malee that ensued. At this point of time, the opponents grew desperate for the win, and the disillusioned "captain" cried out "2-1! we defend! we defend!" to incite a negative mentality in his team. It obviously didn't work, and unnknownns hit back with devastating effect. Striker Zhenrong, fresh from signing a new sponsorship deal with Reebok, equalised quickly. Sporting a flashy golden boot by Reebok, he controlled a cross from the left, twisted his marker inside out before sending a screamer that flew into the top corner and drop his name into the mix for the "Goal-of-the-season" prize. This is especially sweet as he already has another nomintaion for "miss-of-the-season" chalked up in the first half. This shattered FCBS's game plan and Unknowns moved in for the kill. A long ball found Jainhua going towards the left corner flag and seemed to be with no way to go. However, he then shimmied his marker at the by-line before sending in a premiership quality, "touch me and it's a goal" ball into the near post, where, as the script would have it, his brother Apple arrived from nowhere to sweep it home to complete an astonishing comback, 3-2! In between the 2 goals, goalie Jais had to pull of a smart save down his right.
However, in injury time, a cross from the left was met by a clashing challenge between Botak and the opponent, resulting in a handball by Botak in his own box. A harsh penalty was given, especially since it seemed to be a "ball-to-hand" situation. Just when a striker picked up the ball to take the resultant penalty, their self-proclaimed "captain" barged through and volunteered to take it himself. However, his attempt to fake goalie Jais was outsmarted as Jais flew superbly to his left and beat the goalbound effort away to save Botak's blushes, and ensure victory for Unknowns in that last piece of action of the game.
