Against Cops3rd Jan, 07 Kowloon Bay LUFC 1 : 3 Cops Gerald Cop x3 Last summer, two late goals against Cops fabricated a dramatic comeback that concluded a successful first season. This time, we were hoping to do it again for a 3-0-0 record this Christmas. LUFC fielded a strong team other than the fact that Justin C and Shabi were missing from the lineup from sickness. Cop took advantage of the unfavorable ground condition and controlled the game in the early stage since LUFC couldn’t really get to ball up the field. LUFC had a few chances including an Albert freekick that sailed over the goal and an aggressive attempt from 40 yards that dropped before it reached the box. Surprisingly enough, LUFC was the team to take the lead. When our team is on the verge to collapse, there is only one person to turn to, 戴志偉. In the context of LUFC, that will be Gerald. That being said, the goal was of course scored in the most 戴志偉 manner. Justin took the corner that was missed by everyone and it took the bounce near the penalty spot. With his back facing the goal and defenders closing up, Gerald had only one move in his mind—倒掛金勾. I actually didn’t see how it went in but it did and the whole team erupted in celebration. Cops soon equalized and took the lead with two excellent goals but I don’t remember what they were like. Although Cop were playing at the upper hand from the beginning through the end, LUFC did have a few chances to bring them back to the game, included two Albert’s breakaways that were saved. When they scored the third, the game was pretty much over. All their goals were nice so we had nothing to blame. Summary: Again, the level of play dropped exponentially towards 2nd and 3rd period. Winston continued to be the most consistent of all performers. Anyhow, they were a good team and they deserved the victory. Albert, pass the ball motherfucker. Scholes and Brian partied too hard over christmas. We need them to deliver in order to have any chance against a good team. They are our midfield. Man of the match: Winston |
