(392364751)

20-06-2012 04.30
12000 spectators had come to
Old Trafford this cloudy day.
Albert Vivien was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Marciano Rothuizen and
Noel Molen.
Singapores tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination.
They fielded: 宝祺 (Baoqi) - Leng Ming, 伟鹏 (Weipeng), 达智 (Dazhi) , bin Mohamad Saad - 祖贵 (Zugui), Siong Tian, bin Husin, 北建 (Beijian) - bin Saad, 友轩 (Youxuan).
A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Leeds.
The following players took the field: Sapiee - Ming Jia, 德航 (Dehang) , Mansur - Soon Hock, bin Mohd Saad, Kang Yong, Li Kang, bin Anusai - bin Othman, Jian Liang.
Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 4 minutes into the match, and
W. Li Kang wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors.
The home crowd was not impressed when
K. Jian Liang came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 24 minutes. Leeds were now up 0 - 2.
A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from
Y. Soon Hock after 36 minutes, and prevented Leeds from going up another goal.
T. Ming Jia of Leeds was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle.
洪. 宝祺 (Baoqi) got a fingertip on
Y. Soon Hock's shot from the left 38 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal.
The head of
陈. 德航 (Dehang) connected with a corner kick after 40 minutes, and the ball ended up with
T. Ming Jia of Leeds who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 0 - 3.
By now, the players in Leeds felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward.
Had it not been for one of the home defenders,
K. Jian Liang would have put Leeds up another goal 41 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing.
The referee showed Singapores's
邢. 伟鹏 (Weipeng) the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.
Halftime score was 0 - 3.
Leeds enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 80 percent of possession.
The visitors'
A. bin Anusai took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 64 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Leeds.
After 67 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Leeds was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options.
K. Jian Liang increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 5.
After 81 minutes,
A. bin Anusai sent the corner kick right to
S. Kang Yong who headed it sharply past the keeper. 0 - 6!
After 85 minutes, Leeds's
F. Mansur burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 7.
After 86 minutes, Leeds sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached
K. Jian Liang, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 8.
This third goal completed a hattrick for
K. Jian Liang.
87 minutes in, Singapores's
M. bin Husin received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first.
A loud groan was heard from the fans of Leeds, as
Y. Soon Hock left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match.
P. Dávid took his place on the field.
S. Kang Yong of Leeds received a yellow card after 89 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour.
Possession in this half belonged to Leeds, who controlled the ball 85 percent of the time.
Most important Singapores player was
L. Siong Tian.
洪. 宝祺 (Baoqi) turned in a dismal performance, however.
Leeds's top performer was clearly
陈. 德航 (Dehang) .
On the other hand,
F. Mansur's play was disheartening.
The match ends 0 - 8.
