Dominant first-half display set foundation for 5-3 victory
Playing on a
Monday night, ARFC brushed aside the determined come-back challenge of the “DSI”

Both teams were
affected by the dim lighting and found it hard to string together decent
passes.
In the 17th
min, ARFC drew first blood after Sebastian was fouled about 37 metres from
goal. Fresh from his successful 1-week trial at J-League club Hokkaido Hornets,
Sebastian dusted himself off the ground by simply using his inside-inner foot to
spin the ball around the wall, ala Lyon’s Juninho, that left their impressive
GK rooted to his spot as the ball was timed at 377 km/hr. 1-0 and this was Sebastian’s 99th
ARFC goal.
Bouyed by the
world-class free-kick goal, ARFC doubled the lead within minutes. Guoxiong made
a superb run down the right flank and swung a cross over that sailed over their
GK but struck the far right post. Derrick
followed up but he too struck the same post and the ball bounced to the other
post. Wayne dashed in and marked his return from surgery by scrambling the ball
home. 2-0 and this was Wayne’s 14th ARFC goal.
Darren then
passed the ball to the left flank where Alvin instantly used his outside right
foot to cross the ball in. Kenny ran in from blind side and headed the ball
home for his 63rd ARFC goal. 3-0
ARFC notched
its 4th goal in the match through a series of back-flick headers
that started from Eng Lai to Guoxiong to Kenny and then to Alvin whose
left-foot flick went over the GK’s head for his 268th ARFC
goal. 4-0
In the 2nd
half, ARFC displayed total complacency and thought the match had been won. The team totally went to sleep and conceded 3
goals in quick succession.
Luckily, at
4-3, Ron picked up a loose ball from 30 metres out, shouted Sebastian to move
away, and volleyed in a sizzler that left their GK and the watching crowd stunned.
5-3 and this was Ron’s 11th ARFC goal.
Voting results:
Guoxiong – 8
Ron – 8
Tze Ern – 6
Darren – 5
Elvis – 3
Derrick – 2

goal in the 10th min. 0-1
In the 70th
min, Blackburn’s sizzling through ball from the left saw Soon bursting clear
and bore down on goal. Soon then easily beat their GK with a cool finish to
their GK’s left for his 71st ARFC goal. 1-1
7 mins later,
ARFC conceded again. 1-2
Thursday, September 10, 2015
Ismail matched Izwan Mahbud's miraculous display in 3-1 win over Japanese team
Playing under a
torturing hot sun, ARFC overcame a very good Japanese team, Mogura FC, courtesy
of a very disciplined performance.
ARFC was
supported by Lingzhi, Ron’s wife.
ARFC also welcomed
back Derrick who is slowly working his way back to peak condition after his
recent knee surgery.
Special kudos
to Soon who came to play despite just completed a 111-km, not 11.1 km and
certainly not 1.11 km, run earlier. Fantastic commitment and superb fitness!!
ARFC also
recalled Huiming, pioneer ARFC warrior, to help out.

ARFC conceded a
goal within 177 seconds. 0-1
ARFC then equalized
after How Meng threaded a through ball to Alvin who broke their off-side trap
and was in the right side of the 6-yard box area. Alvin then squared across goal and Khim
fooled their GK with some clever footwork before calmly side-footed home his 51st
ARFC goal. 1-1
Ismail then
came to ARFC’s rescue when he produced a top-draw one-handed save to flick a
fierce shot over the bar. Superb!
Raymond was
then put through by Alvin and raced down on their GK. However, Raymond’s
rustiness showed when he over-played the ball and their GK saved his shot but
conceded a corner.
Raymond nevertheless
made amends immediately. His beautifully-floated corner was only half-cleared
by their defence to the lurking Khim who was just outside the box. With a clean first touch, Khim killed the
ball and thumped in a shot that sailed past a sea of players to hit the net.
2-1 and this was Khim’s 52nd ARFC goal.
In the 2nd
half, the opponents exerted huge pressure on ARFC but stout defending led by
Ron and Huiming kept them at bay.
Ismail then
showed his mettle when he produced 3 successive world-class saves with stunning
reflexes and power. Simply brilliant!
ARFC then sealed
the win after Chua’s clearance looped over their defence. Raymond chased the
ball and lofted the ball over their GK who was came off the line. 3-1 and this
was Raymond’s 4th ARFC goal.
Ismail then
again produced another out-of-this-world double-handed save to deny the
opponents.

Ismail – 9

Soon's 70th ARFC goal in 2-1 win
On 30 Aug 2015
at 3 pm at Mayflower SS, ARFC defeated a very “dirty” COURTS team 2-1.
Soon scored
ARFC’s first goal after some hard work by Kenny. After being chased down by
Kenny, their GK panicked and cleared the ball only as far as Soon who was 27 metres
away. With a great first touch that brought the ball down, Soon unleashed his
prowess from all his recent charity record-breaking skipping act by curling the
ball to the top corner just below the crossbar, beyond their GK”s desperate
flailing out-stretched hands. 1-0 and this was Soon’s 70th ARFC
goal.
With this goal,
Soon overtook ARFC’s previous scoring great Robin to move into 8th
position in ARFC’s all-time leading scorers list.
The opponents
then equalized. 1-1
ARFC regained
the lead with Kenny again at the centre of things. Kenny’s magical through pass down the heart
of their defence was matched by an equal magical run from Haron. With a quick feint, Haron eluded their GK who
was totally memesrised and wrong-footed by Haron’s move. Facing the net alone,
Haron still took his time as he was thinking why no one closed down on him. At
the prompting of Blackburn who shouted “keep it simple”, Haron then slotted
home his 227th ARFC goal. 2-1
Voting results:
Darren – 11
Soon – 7
Kenny – 7
Tze Ern – 6
Haron – 4
Ron – 4
Toh – 2
Elvis – 1
