It was a strange game really. At the end of the match, it felt as if KDU had really given G-Hotel a good thrashing but whilst watching the first half, the coach felt that G-Hotel dominated with possession and attacks. The defence was unbalanced with the centre backs playing a good distance between each other which allowed G-Hotel to break through the middle twice - only to miss their one on one duel with Duc. The centre midfield were having the same problem as the central defence - they didn't seem to be working together & they weren't protecting the central defence despite the obvious penetration that they sought through that gap. Mikez was battling hard in the left back slot but G-Hotel overwhelmed his isolated position to put in dangerous crosses - one of which they missed from 5 yards - so it was a mystery that KDU managed to go into the half time break one goal up.
Ren gives us a good Japanese pose!
The foul that changed the game was when Lam was rushing down the right hand side and was kicked in the stomach (ouch!) which led to him substituted for Derek. With the player coach on the pitch, the team seemed to look a much better team - whether it was down to his physical presence, his psychological boost to the team or just the fact that G-Hotel had tired out after 25 minutes - and this soon led to a rather bizarre first goal.
Kugan floated in a free kick from the halfway line, four KDU players rushed in on it, the keeper caught it and under no pressure, dropped the ball when he landed! Hung was the grateful recipient and slotted his first goal of his KDU career. It should have been two nil minutes later when Derek intercepted a ball but he inaccurately toe-poked the ball from inside the penalty box. The game had swung by now and it was time for the G-Hotel players to look grateful after the referee blew for half time - although the players didn't hear it properly and continued playing!

Kugan shows some sympathy. Bill doesn't.

It was a very comfortable scoreline after 70 minutes but if G-Hotel had put away half of their fairly easy chances in the first half, it would have been much more uncomfortable for the college team.

The second half saw a continuation of the end of the first half as KDU continued to dominate G-Hotel in a most emphatic fashion. It must have been a hard day at hotel as KDU pushed, pressurised and harried the opponents to make mistake after mistake with the H-bombs up front eventually punishing them by netting more goals.
With the RAF helicopters passing overhead, the G-Hotel went a further goal behind after Hung slotted his second of the match after which the orange team missed their last/best chance of the match - a clear run on goal from 40 yards seemed to give the striker too much time to think and he pushed the ball wide of Duc's far post. After this the rock solid pairing of Kugan and Bill gave G-Hotel no more chances - Bill in particular looking mean and vicious with his impression of Vidic.

KDU continued their dominance with Derek thrusting through the stringy G-defensive line, collecting Vincent's clever back heel and hitting the post with the rebound going in off the goalkeeper's backside! Whatever Mikez tells you, it was an own goal. The other senior in the team, Heng, had already had a goal disallowed before he (and three other blue shirts!) were in the right place at the right time to celebrate his birthday week in style. The blue boys were cruising by the end of the match and were genuinely disappointed when the referee blew his whistle for full time with several minutes of daylight left.
