Asterix Reds 3 - 1 BM (SSLKL Premier Division)

Another comfortable win sealed a season 'double' over BM.  Despite us missing a few more players than last week, the lads that came in did the job and played some good football.  This week's scorers were Ghani Malik, Aidil Sulaiman and Bunmi Sodiya.  

We started out this game looking very unsettled and not really up for it. In the first 5 minutes we were really under pressure and could have gone a goal down. However, when Aidil reacted to a bad challenge on him after about 10 minutes we kicked into life. Ghani took the resulting free kick from just inside their half and placed one into the roof of the net, via a hole in the keepers hands. 

At 1-0 we settled into our game and started knocking the ball around really well. BMFC started complaining to the referee but we stayed well out of any such arguments and concentrated on our football. I have to say I think we have got a lot better at doing this as the season has gone on. Right on the stroke of half-time Bunmi climbed well at the back post to direct his header into the back of the net. The celebration that followed was the only thing there was time for, 2-0 at the break.

We spoke a bit at half-time about tightening up our back four as their only threat was their pace up front. We controlled this much better in the second half and reduced them to speculative long shots, all of which were blazed high and wide with a ball that was clearly too hard.

Mid-way through the half a good ball was knocked into Terry who did well to hold off his man and lay the ball back to Aidil. Aidil calmly slotted the ball through the same hole in the keepers hands that Ghani had found earlier. 3-0. After this unselfish act Terry turned to more important things – scoring for himself. 

We pushed on feeling there was more goals in it, and there probably would have been if Terry had passed the ball! Instead he was determined to score, but all attempts were greeted with shouts of 'time wasting' from the opposition as the ball flew past the goal.

We got a bit sloppy towards the end and conceded a needless goal. All in all though a very satisfying win and a solid performance.  

We have one game left in our season next Saturday Vs Astaka. Lets get a good squad available and finish on a high note. Do your best to get down to training on Thursday!!
