Old Victorians Assoc hands ESFC a lesson

Everyday Sunday FC slumped to a 2 - 0 defeat against a spirited and skillful Old Victorians Assoc (OVA) team. ESFC were keen to prove that they can rub shoulders with top teams and this encounter was a good opportunity to test themselves against one.

Both sides started with an identical formation (4-5-1) and this proves pivotal in the match as the midfield battle would decide the outcome of the match. Right from the start, ESFC failed to assert themselves against OVA's midfield and OVA dominated the entire game. ESFC showed some instances to fight back but at the end of the day, 2 goals in quick succession punctured the hearts of ESFC.

Lady luck was always on ESFC's side usually, but as the new season prevails it seems like Lady Luck is still on the "holiday mood" as Zhong and St missed chances that would normally go in.

Nevertheless, the match has showed that ESFC has much to learn and if they want to improve, they must be prepared to come out fighting against stronger and proper teams.
