The game started tentative as we tried something new. As the game got on, Al-Caliph got into stride and was awarded with a penalty. Zamri scored from the spot. However, the opponent manage to score as defence were unable to clear the ball effectively. It was 1-1 at the interval. In the second half, we played our usual game and manage to squeeze a goal through...
A Cleansing Act
It was a game to cleanse ourselves of last year’s debacle and boy we did it albeit the hard way. First half we were very poor. The 2 weeks layoff has put some rust into the team. Passes were astray and we didnt communicate. Decisions were off and we put ourselves into constant pressure as we keep losing the ball. The half ended scoreless. We started the...
Snake Bite
Al-Caliph went down 3-4 to Vipers. We scored possibly the fastest goal ever in any competition we ever played. Aliff scored in the first minute and 8 seconds. Good opening. Exactly what I wanted. However, opponent manage to get back into the game as a cross from our right was met by a diving header on the left. It went under the bar into goal. 1-1. We came...
Blackfort Down
Opponent was late, sun was hot and we were restless. When the game started, we were going at a frantic pace. Soon we scored through Shahril after excellent work from Z. Alas Shahril scored. Hope that help to calm his nerves. We added another through our new boy Zamri off a Shahril’s pass. Shahril is making the right wing his. Have to improve on his...
Ace of Spade
In honour of the captain, Im using his line as the title – whatever it means. For the first time, we had beaten Aces. It was a highly paced game. We were up against a formidable opponent. This was what the tournament was about. We led through Tyrus. His first goal for the team. The opponent levelled through a free kick. We came back stronger and pushed for...
Stripped of Luck
Al-Caliph started well when we scored inside 5 minutes through Z and added another soon after through Jeff. After that two quickfire goals, our luck struck out and the half ended scrappy. We couldnt hold the ball and lost it frequently. Second-half got underway and not much change. Maybe the change in personnel cause some disarray. However, fundamentals should...
