ESFC 2 - 0 Futbolistas FC

ESFC scored another victory against Futbolistas FC to secure 3rd spot in the division. The team started with ten men on the pitch only as the secluded Ping Yi Sec was too hard to find for some. 

But there was quality on display too throughout the game, particularly in the first half. 

Tim was once again ESFC's chief threat and was involved in all of their best moments before the break. And he duly scored a beautifully crafted goal with some exquisite close control to beat the defenders and round the goalkeeper.

Reyro, who scored ten goals in 10 league starts, scored another from a free kick outside the box as goalkeeper had no chance at all. 

The triumvirate of dragons: Guan Long, Ming Long and Xiao Long were restored to the centre of midfield and their tenacity and energy were the main factors in ESFC dominating the opening stages and eventually securing a comfortable victory.

ESFC 3 - 1 Warriorz Vege

A lack of substitutes meant that ESFC had to switch to a different style of play and this was a study in containment strategies. ESFC allowed the Warriorz to have the majority of possession by sitting deep and the two ESFC banks of four were compact and discipline to keep out most of their attacks. 

ESFC hit three goals in quick succession from brilliant counter-attacks with clinical goals by Reyro and Boon.

It was a team effort as ESFC ran the game from deep and the defenders stuck to their jobs, denying the Warriorz space and opportunity. The main difference though was Reyro who shone on the wing with an impressive display of skill and pace.
