ARFC's titles hopes diminished after 0-1 loss

ARFC’s title hopes were dealt a huge blow after losing 0-1 to the very determined Unido FC.

ARFC was supported by Jinzhong, Anna, Brenden and Kenny who is still out with his serious knee injury.

ARFC started with this line-up:

Keeper             -           How Meng

Right-back       -           Marauding Guoxiong

Sweeper           -           Astute-reading sweeper Elvis

Stopper            -           Towering Toh (captain)

Left-back         -           Unpredictable Blackburn

Left-mid          -           Sublime Khim  

Centre-mid       -           Hard-man Tjioe

Centre-mid       -           Combative Ron

Right-mid         -           Talisman Derrick

Striker              -           Powerful Alvin

Striker              -           Speedy Hee

Subs:

Dynamic Soon

Weilit

Jasper

Absent:

Dependable Jinzhong

Unbeatable Darren

Influential Sebastian

ARFC Scoring Legend Haron

Mean-machine Hock

Wonder Wayne

Steely Tze Ern

Talented Chun Haw

Long-throw specialist Norman

Precocious En Dian

Nippy Kenny

Despite the presence of ARFC’s best player of all time, Khim, ARFC could not get going. Unido FC, typically, also showed more hunger for the match and won more challenges and possession.

Half-time ended 0-0

In the 2^nd half, they scored from a header. 0-1

Tempers started to flare due to the inept performance of the referee and Tjioe was cautioned.

Guoxiong was then dismissed for 2 yellow cards.

Bizarrely, the referee decided to end the match early by “saying that we behaved badly”!! However, it turned out that he was rushing to referee another match at 5pm at another pitch.
