Unknowns 2 - 2 Sinchi FC

Unknowns Clinched Yet Another Comeback.

Unknowns United has bagged another amazing comeback in the latest BSPL game.

Missing leading goalscorer Zhenrong "Villa", Unknowns still boasted a strong team with good turn-out.

The game began in high tempo with the unknowns probing the Sinchi backline. They knew fully well that this was the very same team that they had drawn 4-4 with previously, but this time, the opponents are without their top scorer through suspension.

Unknowns attacked with loads of vigour, with Becky having an inspired game in the middle, but just could not find the finishing touch or pass. It was to come back to haunt them. Sinchi won a corner off a rare counter attack, and from that, the ball was played back to their left midfilder out wide, who swung in a teasing cross-cum-shot, which managed to sail over goalie jais into the net off the cross bar, Unknowns down 0-1.

Unknowns continue to press on for their well-deserved goal, but it was not to be. A long ball off another Sinchi counter caught the Unknowns defence off-guard, and the lively malay striker took the chance to pounce and stab the ball in goal for a 2-0 lead at half time!

Unknowns turn up for the 2nd half full of confidence, knowning that they have an outstanding record of come back in games. How true it was to be. Second half new signing Vincent Lee sent in several testing crosses which the opponents bearing delt with, and afew gd runs were call offside by the referee.

Sensing that the opponents right side of defence was the weak link, unknowns laid seige doen the left. It wasn't long before it paid dividends. Good inter-passing on the flank between json,jianhua and yuanji resultant in a wicked low cross across the oponents goal. In came Sherman, who dashed acorss to the near post from the other flank, to poke the ball home from close range in true Freddie Ljungberg style!

Seeing tangible results, unknowns continue to bombard the left flank and brought them the equalizer. A long punt from Alvin down the inside left caught out the Sinchi right back and center back out, and Leslie, who was having a phenomenal game tormanting the opponents flank,ghosted in from nowhere to flick the ball beautifully over the on-rushing goalie for a well-crafted equalizer!

While pressing for a winner, Unknowns' Botak gave the ball away numerous times in dangerous zones of the pitch, but thankfully, all it resulted in was nothing more than scares, as the defence held firm. A blitch off a otherwise energetic performance from Botak. Goalie jais added more than bits of cameo with a couple of saves late on to keep it status-quo.

After the game, team manager Jianhua commented:"I obviously felt that we derserved to win the game, but given that we were 2-0 down at half time, i'll glading take the point earned."

Quote of the day-Andy:"Next time we just tell referee to give our opponent a 2-0 headstart lah!"

Man of the match- Leslie: Glided down the left flank with lots of purpose and tenacity, and even capped off a fine performance with a goal.
