Junior Bullets make short work of Anderson Sec to win 7-2

29^th Jan 2013

The C Boys Bullets followed up their big win last week with another impressive showing this afternoon at the home of their opponents Anderson Sec. The Bullets scored seven goals to demonstrate the gap in the quality of execution between the two teams. But the way 2 goals were conceded is cause for worry ahead of the crucial clash with group favourites Serangoon Sec.

In a smaller than usual field, both teams could not make any headway in the first few minutes of the game. The Bullets were the first to find a way out of the predicament by using the full width of the pitch. Skipper for the day Muhd Danial opened the scoring in the 7^th min with a lob over the goalkeeper. 4 mins later, left-winger Josiah Phua beat his marker side-footed the ball into an empty net for a 2-goal lead. The third goal was quick to come as Anderson struggled to play out of their half. This time, striker Faris Hanan took the opportunity of a goalmouth scramble to poke the ball beyond the Anderson keeper. He then made it 4-nil in the 17^th min with a stiff volley at the edge of the penalty area that had the Anderson goalkeeper flapping for thin air. Muhd Danial then calmly placed the ball into goal for the 5^th goal after advancing from the left.

The Bullets were looking forward to half-time and the complacency was never more glaring than in the 28^th min when a free kick was needlessly conceded on the right side by Aden Kuo. From the ensuing free kick, Bullets goalkeeper Mohd Fazrin missed the ball completely and as the ball was recovered from the left-hand side, a fluffed clearance allowed an Anderson attacker to sweep the ball into goal.

The Bullets scored a brace in the second half: the first coming from Brendan Tan who reacted swiftly to tap in a shot that rebounded off the left goal post. Danial then completed his 2^nd hat trick of the tournament by bringing the ball intelligently into the Anderson’s penalty box and slotting the ball home through the legs of the goalkeeper.

Nine minutes from time, Bullets goalkeeper Fazrin made another blunder when he failed to hold on to a high ball towards goal, allowing it to bobble out of his hands and cross the goal line.

Towards the end of the match, it seemed like a routine outing for the Bullets as Bullets coach made 3 quick substitutions but the failings that led to the goals conceded will be a happy sight for our next opponent Serangoon Sec.
