Last night was the second match played against Jana Villa FC. It was a very good match, indeed! First half was a bit shaky for us. In the first few minutes, a penalty was given to them because of a dive by one of their strikers when Kha'liq tried to steal their ball and clear it. The referee was convinced that it was a penalty when clearly, it wasn't. Our centre-back was shown yellow. They were 1 - 0 up when JV's number 7 struck a shot which didn't look like a goal, but the ball hit the post and spun into the net on the keeper's right side. Our defense was penetrated number of times, but we managed to hold on.
Not long after their penalty, we got one too! This time, it was Harith who was taken down - clearly this time. Up to the take the penalty kick was Omar, but Afiq stepped up instead. Luckily, he scored and the scoreline was 1 - 1. Due to our poor defending, they grabbed another two goals which was scored by JV's number 9 who goes by the name of Aizat - one shot over our goalkeeper and one tapped in after a poor clearance from the goalkeeper. Aizat had one too many dives that he had gotten yellow for trying another dive in the box again. The half-time whistle blew and the scoreline was 3 - 1.
The game changed when the second half was commencing. We jumbled up our positions and boosted our confidence. Amin, who was playing far on the right, zoomed through JV's defense and slotted one for the team (3 -2)! Unfortunately, luck was on Jana Villa's side as we conceded two goals which were accidentally put in by Sharin and Kha'liq - both from corner kicks. 5 - 2 was the score, but we kept on pushing! Butterfly FC volunteer, Eyul, came in and scored one for the team which was passed terrifically through the middle by his brother, Zairul. JV also had chances to make it 7, but Jimmy, whose shots bounced off the post twice failed to convert them into goals. A few minutes to end game, Haadi came back on for Eyul; and this time, luck was on our side. A free-kick was given to us when their last man defending brought Haadi down dangerously and was shown yellow for such a selfish challenge. Kha'liq took the free-kick and unbelievably scored! Very relaxed and well-taken by our centre-back! Harith's free-kick before this was clearly curling into the net, but was denied and was beautifully saved by Azhim.
Our last attack of the game came from a Harith cross which bounced just outside the box. The goalkeeper came out of his position and couldn't do anything as he was outside of the box. He lost it as he was pressured by Haadi. Soon, Amin cut in, stole the ball and comfortably put it in right at the top corner! It was smiles all the way for Cobra! We believed that we could've gotten another goal, but Aqil, in the end, was down on the ground - in pain.
The referee blew for full-time and the scores were level. It was thanks to our faith in the game and our endless teamwork! Congratulations to those who scored, both for Jana and for Cobra! Thanks for reading, peeps!
