TUFC vs Ginga FC
[November 17, 2019]
TUFC 2 - 5 Ginga FC
After a sizeable break, We finally got the permission to resumed our weekly games as usual, Ginga FC were the lucky team to win a chance to play at our beautiful MCC pitch. The game was expected to be a closer affair and was in most areas of play except for finishing. GFC pulled far ahead with clinical conversion of their chances and the result was a clear indication of that.
We struggled to find our usual rhythm in the first half and this was clearly visible when Ginga FC took an early lead by capitalising on a loose pass from midfield to break into a quick counter attack. And that was just the start. They constantly lashed us with long balls along the wing from midfield. One those attacks resulted in a corner which lead to the second goal for GFC after we failed to clear our lines. We had our chances simply failed to finish them. We did score a goal however in the first half with a well taken corner. It looked like we finally got back into the game and we hoped to finish the half strong, but it was the away side that got yet another goal that seemed to kill our momentum.
After a miserable first half, We hoped to start the second much stronger. And it almost looked so with a bunch of good chances in front of goal, however it was GFC that got the goal. Another mixup in defence left our opponents with 4 players in front of an empty net as they easily extended their lead. Deep into the second half GFC scored their fifth. An outrageous chip from just outside the box that dipped right below the crossbar. We got a consolation goal with only a few minutes remaining through a cross that was headed in at the far post.
As usual it was an amazing, as it has always been, to play here at MCC. We are eager for a rematch with Ginga FC, but it will most likely have to wait for another weekend. We will keep you posted as to who we’ll be playing next week. Until then !
