Xenon 3-2 Acid Reflux

A late winner by Hasyim sealed the win for Xenon after a nervous display showcased by the two sides, including Acid Reflux.

It was a 8 v 8 field match with Ilyas, Zul, Sijie, Keng Hao, Fadhli, Fayyaz, Haiqal(14) , Nicholas and Fayyaz starting. Ilyas replacing Nabil due to a wrist injury and Sijie replacing Luqman as Full Back. Key players like Luqman ,Nabil and Xing Yang were missing.Xenon started strongly with Fadhli making errors in midfield but Fayyaz soon found the net with a scorching long shot. Acid Reflux responded with a goal by Ghaffar as he made a simple tap towards the goalpost after retrieving a searching cross by his teammate. Xenon made two changes, switching Haiqal(14) for Haiqal(4) and Zul for Syazwi. Syazwi became an emergency Centre Back and combined well with Keng Hao to provide solid defending. On the other half of the field, Haiqal (4) and Nicholas played the wings with Fayyaz as the lone striker. Shots either hit the post or went well wide until Ghaffar implemented a 9 v 9 match. Hasyim was called in for Xenon and scored a goal went the opposition keeper let the goalposts be open. 2-1 in favour of Xenon.

Xenon soon showed signs of weakness as ball was given away freely and when a Reflux player shot,Ilyas ,managed to grab the ball but it was robbed away from a Reflux striker and scored. The intensity level rised as each sides tried to find a way to break through each other goalposts. But soon Haiqal (4) managed to shoot furiously but it rebounded off the goalie causing Hasyim to give a simple tap in and scored. Full time soon arrived and final score 3-2.

Yes, my post is not as detailed as Xing Yang's but he was on-leave.

Overall, Xenon slightly under-performed and will try to improve the next match.
