ESFC mounted an impressive comeback despite going down by 2 goals in the first 15 minutes. A switch of personnel and change of formation brought some much-needed stability to the team that was slow off the block once again. This coincided with a sudden injection of urgency and high pressing into ESFC’s game.
Quick interchanging plays between the midfielders and strikers enacted more pressure for the opponents and a quick succession of 3 goals were scored before the end of the first half. A pin-point corner from Boon found Long lurking in the far post and his thumping header ascended ESFC's confidence level.
ESFC dominated the remaining first half, playing with more swagger, aggression and invention than they had done in the previous 15 minutes. A cross was curled in delicately by the right foot of teleporter-Weilin and Sebas was at the end of it, glancing ESFC into an encouraging tie game. But that was not the end of it as another laser-guided cross-cum-shot from Jason Angfound Long lurking in the near post this time and the latter scored his 2nd of the game with another thumping header was deflected into the net by the goalie.
Second half saw the introduction of Nathan who worked his socks off to pressure the defense and was rewarded with a fine goal. Boon scored the final goal of the game after some impressive overlapping runs and one-twos between Weilin and Sebas.
