Jasper notched debut ARFC goal in 10-0 rout


In a 5 pm friendly match against CBCV, ARFC shrugged aside last week’s disappointing defeat by putting 10 goals without reply past the hapless opponents which probably only managed less than 5 shots in the match.

ARFC was watched by Melissa and YY, beau of Hee and Jasper respectively, as well as Roberto, boyfriend of no girl as yet.

Credit to Alvin and Soon for coming despite their long-distance run in the morning. Huge credit to Derrick too (you all know the reason – cannot be disclosed here).

ARFC started with this line-up:

Keeper - Dependable Jinzhong  
Right-back - Unpredictable Blackburn
Sweeper - Combative Ron
Stopper - Towering Toh (captain)
Left-back - Unbeatable Darren  
Left-mid - Speedy Hee
Centre-mid - Marauding Guoxiong   
Centre-mid - Skillful Weilit
Right-mid - Talisman Derrick 
Striker - Powerful Alvin
Striker - ARFC Scoring Legend Haron
 
Subs:

Wonder Wayne
Dynamic Soon 
Nippy Kenny
Resolute Jasper
Composed Jackson
Precocious Chun Haw
Indra (guest player)
Influential Sebastian (only arrived in second half due to house arrest)

Absent:

Astute-reading sweeper Elvis
Impeccable How Meng
Steely Tze Ern  
Hard-man Tjioe
Sublime Khim
Booming Boon
Jiawei

ARFC showed its intent from the word go and took the lead in the 7th min. Not for the first time, Derrick and Alvin showed immerse telepathic understanding developed from their kt days when Derrick dinked in a quick free-kick. Alvin needed no second invitation and duly dispatched the ball home for his 223rd ARFC goal. 1-0

Guoxiong then underlined his potential as a centre midfielder when he let fly a 47.77 metre rocket ala Ruud Gullit that gave their keeper no chance at all. 2-0 and this was Guoxiong’s 19th ARFC goal.

Curiously enough, Guoxiong was seen pointing his index finger towards the gate area after scoring as if to give credit to someone. All ARFC warriors including the reserves then turned to look towards the direction and spotted one girl who looked totally like our ex-ARFC warrior, Tong. However, the unidentified girl then quickly ran away from her spot. Strange-love really….

Blackburn then mimicked Guoxiong’s goal when he also unleashed a stiff grounder from 47.777 metres for his 134th ARFC goal. 3-0

In the 2nd half, club captain Sebastian made his first ARFC appearance in a month after his self-imposed break.

Within 77 seconds from the re-start, ARFC scored its 4th goal after Kenny hit a corner-kick right at the most dangerous area just at the tip of the 6-yard box. Soon dashed in and met the ball with a thumping header for his 55th ARFC goal. 4-0

77 seconds later, Kenny repeated the corner routine in an almost replica move. This time round, Jinzhong, who had such an impressive outing, outjumped everybody and headed the ball goalwards. The ball looked to be heading out for a goal-kick until Jasper, who also improved, stuck his left-foot out to divert the goal into the net ala William Gallas’ trade-mark move. 5-0 and this was Jasper’s debut goal.

After scoring, Jasper sprinted towards YY and hoisted her up in the air for a full 77 seconds and shouting “I Love YY” repeatedly at the same time.

Hee then marked his return to ARFC (also one-month break) by glancing the ball home from Blackburn’s left-wing cross. 6-0 and this was Hee’s 94th ARFC goal.

After scoring, Hee also speeded towards Melissa who, however, was busy watching the movie “Frozen” with her ipad and singing “Let It Go” at the same time.

Weilit then demonstrated why he is fast becoming ARFC’s most improved player when he exchanged a gem of a wall-pass with Haron before running in from deep to whip the ball past their exposed keeper. 7-0 and this was Weilit’s 6th ARFC goal.

Guoxiong then reminded everybody of his right-wing prowess when he chalked up 3 assists for ARFC’s last 3 goals.

First, he lofted in a ball right into the 6-yard area which saw their keeper completely missing the ball. Alvin was the beneficiary when he simply pushed the ball over the goal-line using just 0.77 ounce of his energy for his 224th ARFC goal. 8-0

Haron then grabbed a brace. First, Guoxiong’s right-wing cross was met with a world-class super-delicious scissor-kick from Haron that no keeper in this world could possibly save. 9-0 and this was Haron’s 201st ARFC goal.

Then, Sebastian broke clear from his own half, evaded a few tackles and galloped forward. After exchanging one-two with Kenny, Sebastian spread the ball out wide to Guoxiong even though he could have just headed goalwards. Guoxiong immediately fizzed the ball back to the penalty area and Haron arrived from deep to sweep the ball goalwards. The ball hit the underside of the cross-bar and bounced over the line. 10-0 and this was Haron’s 202nd ARFC goal.

There was still time for Chun Haw to grab a hat-trick if not for his 3 amazing misses. First, he shot into Row X. Seconds later, he skied the ball into Row Y and seconds later, he ballooned the ball to Row Z. Wasted!

These are the voting results:

Jinzhong – 11
Guoxiong – 11
Weilit – 9
Alvin – 5
Haron – 4
Darren – 3
Blackburn – 2
Derrick – 2
Toh – 2
Jasper – 2
Kenny – 1
Hee – 1
Ron – 1
