A moment to remember, a moment to forget

Once again, Fifi's strike in the early first half gave the team a 1-0 lead! Jannah took the free-kick, ball landed on Fifi's feet, made a turn, dribbled a couple of steps, ping-pong in the box and bang, ball at the back of the net! Before the end of half time, all was not meant to be when NP scored an equalizer through a through ball 1 v 1. At half-time, each side had one point each.

In the second half, Team Republic WST was even more driven and motivated to take back the lead again, displaying good team communication and passing among each other, almost scoring on most occasions but at the same time, NP's defenders were clearing all the balls that entered their territory. NP's captain and striker, together with her team mate #7, was providing problems for Team Republic WST, giving long balls and running with their speed, keeping their opposing defenders at bay throughout. Ernie had alot to do.

Another failed attempt to clear off the ball quickly resulted in NP's 2nd goal and FT, the match ended 2-1 in NP's favor. Magdalene, stand-in Captain Salasiah, Jannah all were near getting a goal but had their shots saved.

Shamim, who sat out the previous game was back in goal and put up an excellent performance during the game, saving and placing away many shots that rained at her goal!
