ESFC 7 - 1 Andernese FC

A scintillating display by ESFC saw them tear Andernese FC apart. 

ST scored the fastest goal of ESFC's history by heading in at the far post from an inch perfect cross by Weilin. That took 45s right from kick-off. An exquisite one-two between Peng and ST took out the Andernese defenders and allowed the latter to fire into the bottom corner. ST then completed his hat-trick after scoring from the PK spot which he won on his own. This completed the fastest hat-trick in ESFC's history. 

A stunt went wrong after Ethan lost the ball in the penalty box and Andernese replied with a goal.

But it was ESFC who grabbed control with 4 goals in 15 mins.

Minglong scored with a fierce shot that fizzed past Andernese's right-hand post. 

And then it was Reyro's turn to shine as he combined with Kim and Boon with the two wingers flighted perfect passes into the path of Reyro who finished with aplomb to net 2 quick-fire goals. 

Kim got in on the act soon after, timing his run superbly to slot home Boon's low cross after the Andernese side had been completely torn apart down the left flank.

ESFC 3 - 4 New Olympique SG

It was another loss for ESFC as the lack of players proved to be an obstacle again this season. New Olympique went ahead by three goals in the first half as the out-of-sort ESFC players could not focus on the game. They were probably hungover from celebrating Chelsea's victory in the Champions' League.

Anyway, a tactical masterstroke by Roberto ST Matteo to switch the formation to 3-5-2 nearly paid dividends. Minglong continued his good form by scoring the first goal but New Olympique pulled one back immediately. Then, Darren surprised everyone by scoring two goals to give ESFC a fighting chance. Sadly, Reyro could not finish off the last attack to give ESFC a romantic ending that they deserved.

"Never had a loss felt so good," to quote Eugene in describing this wonderful encounter.
