Went to the national stadium on sunday to watch the exciting singapore cup final match between Woodland and my fav s league team : HOME U ! Went with Ming yong n yuan da...
First, went to the stadium early at ard 5.45 to chop a desirable place but alas! the mac food tat we had wanted to bring in was prohibited and as a result, we had to finish our food outside....together with quite a few others....why did they implement this stupid rule...is not as though we would use the mac food to throw at the players on the field( even if we did, wat harm could fries n burgers do...n which guy in the right frame of mind would waste food like tat)
Went into the stadium....memories of last yr s'pore cup final flooded my mind...it was tamp vs Home....tied at full time and amazingly, Tamp scored 3 goals in extra time to make the final score 4-1..disappointment...hopefully history would not repeat itself..
Found a seat positioned in the middle of the field, exhibition match was between s'pore ex int. and malaysia ex int....most of these players name sounded greek to me and the only name tat i knew was Malek Awab...anyway s'pore went on to win 4-1
Match commenced at 7.30 pm sharp n within 10 mins into the game woodland scored...my heart sank, can Home fight back? without their inspiring playmaker oliverio pires...and yes ! they did ..in the second half by Indra ...from a precise pass by Sahib..score was 1-1, and the home united fans erupted with joy...3 mins later Home scored by Fadzu....Home was leading!...
but the joy didnt lasted long as woodland scored, which was assisted by a free kick from ahmad latiff which caused confusion in the box ,leading to woodland to score...the home U fans was silenced...The score was 2-2.If the match were to go into extra time, i doubt Home players could cope with the pace of the game especially with numerous ageing players such as Surachai and Egmar..Just when I tot that the game was going into extra time, INDRA ...yes the man of the match scored !!!!!!!! in injury time...a pass from egmar led to Indra n Fadzu chasing for the ball n just when we tot the keeper would safetly save the ball, Indra got to the ball faster n pull the ball to the right side of the penalty area b4 blasting 1 shot in to the back of the net...HURRAY!! Home has won the game...this match was more the memorable as some Home U players like Pires , Indra and their inspiring defender Aide was leaving the club after this match...and also their coach....a great game after all...with plenty of goals---5 and also wonderful skills... HOme have successfully added 1 trohy to their impressive cabinet...
While we were watching the match, a guy behind us kept boo-ing whenever woodland's Ahmad latiff had the ball....and saying all sorts of comments on him...guess Ahamad latiff could have probably offended him....haha....and he booed through the whole match..haha wat wonderful stamina he has!!
Home U may not be the same team next season with so many inspiring players leaving... hope tat Home U can repeat their Singapore Cup success next season....
for now...3 cheers to Home United Football Club!!!
