POL-ITE Updates: 3 points!

Not even 10 seconds and Team Republic WST lead 1-0 against SP, courtesy of Fifi. Right from the start, Fifi receive the ball upon play, dribbled the ball towards goal and scored.

15 minutes later, tragedy strike as captain Nina was stretchered out from the game, seemingly from a torn ACL. V-captain Salasiah took over the captain's role while Ernie replaced Nina. The team was driven and was willing to win this tournament for their captain.

True enough by HT, RP was holding a comfortable lead of 3-0 with goals from Fifi and Jannah. Singapore Poly's goalkeeper was unlucky in mishandling the ball from a strike by Jannah and the ball went past the line.

Both sides displayed good passes but Team Republic WST came out as the better team, with Magdalene, Fifi and Shank connecting well with the midfield to provide some good passes. In the 2nd half saw SP's right midfielder causing problems however that did not stop Team Republic WST from scoring yet another goal. Salasiah sent a shot over the goalkeeper from outside the box and by the final whistle, the team won 4-0.

3 points in the bag so far!

Till then, see you at the grand stand (in green!)!
