Today,at Young Hearts'(aka North Kryse) sembawang field,Xenon pulled off a scintillating win over the home team.The scoreline was Xenon 5 : 3 Young Hearts,with the man of the match,as recommended by Fadhli,being vice-captain Syazwi.
The match started out in the worst possible way for Xenon,with lax marking and poor judgement of passes resulting in 3 quick,consecutive goals in 15 minutes for Young Hearts.However,Xenon woke up after the poor showing,and started an remarkable comeback.
After several close chances for Xenon was wasted,Syazwi skipped past 2 defenders before hammering in a powerful shot past the goalkeeper for the start of the eventual reversal.Then,a handball from a Hearts player ensured a penalty for us.The penalty was taken by Syazwi,who after having his shot saved,converted the rebound to reduce the deficit to one.After that,more good chances for Xenon were denied by some find saves from the opposition goalkeeper,but even he could not stop Fadhli from scoring the imminent equaliser,by squeezing in a great shot from a narrow angle.The half time whistle did not stop Xenon from their hot streak,though.
After the half time break,we piled the pressure on their defense,circulating fine passes and allowing little movement from their strikers with close man-marking.Syazwi put Xenon one goal up for the first time in the match,by steering a thunderbolt from long range,and shortly after,sending a teasing cross to the center for Fadhli,who tapped the ball in at the far post to complete the comeback.
This is a "Revenge of the fallen" indeed.Well done Xenons,for getting a thoroughly deserved win,and showing great will and determination to make the comeback.
