Benedetto made it a perfect 9 points from 3 games since the start of the year, albeit the 2nd game being awarded to Benedetto although the game was not completed. It did not matter as Benedetto won the game 3-1. Although it was not the stroll in the park that we wanted, the team got off to the perfect start as Wen hao tapped the ball into an open net from a low cross from the right flank to make it 1-0 to the home team. Aaron did well to divert a dipping freekick over his bar. So Wen hao's goal was the difference at the break.
Benedetto seemed to start the 2nd half very sluggishly. There was no shape in the team and the passes went astray.Teammates were challenging for the same ball. All forms of communication was thrown out of the window.Jaemes almost deflected a harmless shot into his own goal. But the undeserved 2nd goal still came courtesy of James. He did well to wait for the corner at the far post and when the opportunity presented itself he was never going to give up the chance as he blasted it past the Redbacks goalkeeper to make it 2-0.
An error by Zhihan allowed the striker Ming to lob it over him to make it 2-1 and it presented the redbacks with a way back into the game. John looked like the calmest man on the pitch as he reminded his teammates that they still had the lead and there was no reason to switch to panic mode. But even before the comeback was on route, Benedetto killed the game off through benson. Yet another tap in goal from the far post. 3-1 the final score.
Despite the scoreline, Benedetto's Captain (who was the MIB) was unhappy with the performance.A couple of one on ones were missed and it was not the first time that Zhihan had been embarrassed in this way. He made it crystal clear that he expected much more from the team.
Man of the match award: Due to only 1 vote, the Man of the match award goes to Wenhao :) Well done to him for grabbing the first goal to settle the team down.
