Westlanders in for a bad form?

Westlander Utd 4:4 Temasek Royals

(Jagan,Mahatir,Satish,Sasi)

Firstly,it was Sathya who was subjected to the most criticism after the match by his naive behaviour for the dubious red card.It's always difficult when your team is on a bad form, especially when you get a red card and you let your team down.The 19 year old wouldn't normally lose his head but unleashed an avalanche of wrath this time round.He feels bad and regrets over the incident which could have turned the game around if he didn't see red. Going on,the game started quite badly for westlanders as they went down 1-0 through a defence error.Jagan quickly brought westlanders alive by a typical Ruben free kick tipped over by the keeper to allow jagan to head in from millimetres.Then soon westlanders found themselves 2-1 down.This time a silly mistake by Jagan gave way for opponents to capitalise.Never-say-die attitude made westlanders equalise after a series of attacks.A brilliant pass from Sathya broke the offside trap and found its way to Mahatir's feet,a simple dribble and thunderous shot deflected off a Royals defender to hit the back of the net.This time Westlanders went ahead of Royals.Another square ball from Sathya was received by Satish at the edge of the penalty box.Then,excellent footwork from Satish and low-shot goal from the once top scorer.However,Royals got back into the game within minutes after Satish's goal.Halftime ended 3-3. After the break,several changes were made.Johann,Sathya,Mahatir,Yaser,Satiesh out for Sakti,Kumaran,Mohan,Murukesh and Sasi.Then,it was all for westlanders to fight and got their reward for it.Opponents Temasek handballed inside the 6 yard.Sasi stepped up and finished it with flair.Soon,Temasek changed their tactics to a offensive one.Attacking through all over.Westlanders began to flop and slack.Royals found the net punishing Westlanders for a relaxed performance.Then,a controversial penalty was given against Ravi for handball which is still undecided if its beyond or before the D-box lining.To Westlander's relief,Royals gave away the chance by Kicking the ball wide.Mahatir and Sathya was brought in back by boss replacing Hyrul and Mohan.Westlanders began to attack again.Mahatir,Sathya and Satish were all firing shots to keep the Royal's keeper busy.Then the infamous incident happened and Sathya was shown red.Westlanders defended the remaining 10 minutes and settled for a draw. Your comments are widely appreciated.Westlanders please drop your comments definately after reading the article.

Ahmad Ibrahim Sec - Westlanders Utd and Getz both made their debut for the season last Saturday in a thunderous clash which saw 2 players sent off, 1 from each side.Westlanders at the beginning was taking control of proceedings and took the lead as Mahatir volleyed home a shocker.Then midfielder Sathya scored perhaps the goal of the day when he hammered home a left top corner goal from the right.Just minutes after scoring, Westlanders shot themselves in the foot by conceding.Having conceded many goals in past tournaments, the last thing Parthiban needed was to see another flash past him in many slightly dubious circumstances.In the dying minutes Jagan scored from a longshot effort,but it was too late for the westland team to comeback.Rp Kumar then add salt to the wound by getting red in the last few minutes.This result saw Getz climb up to 3rd in the table while Westlanders Utd are now 2nd from bottom.
