Brought my laptop to the Stadium today, so decide to try out a bit of live reporting!
HUFC got off to a jittery start as the Reds launch wave after wave of attack. It didn't help that Indra got sent off just 15mins into the game for lashing out his elbow at the Reds defender who was tugging at his shirt (the latter got sent off too). Nevertheless, the early sent off seemed to inject some life into our boys as they got all fired up. They went all out with a vengeance in a bid to get back at the Reds. They were obviously looking for blood.
And soon enough the first blood was drawn just after 30 mins when No. 7 Shi Jiayi launched his signature run down the right flank, entered the box, went past the defender and struck a low shot into the left hand corner of the post. One up HUFC. Our boys gained confidence thereafter and continued their frequent foray into the Reds' half. Eight minutes after the first goal, a superb cross from Qiu Li was met by a strong header from Kone. The ball went straight past the goalkeeper and into the net --- but the goal was promptly denied by the linesman who deemed it an offside --- the the fury of both players and fans. The game ended at half-time with HUFC leading 1-0.
The second half picked up from where the first half ended, with both sides launching waves after waves of attack at each other's goal. Fouls aplenty, as fatigue kicked in and players resorted to rough play to win balls. As things started to look bright for HUFC, a defence lapse gave Korean Nam Woung Ki an opening to slot in a goal at the 82 min. Fans were shocked and seemed resigned for a draw. But the Protectors played their hearts out and true enough, their grit was rewarded when Sharil Ishak slotted in the winning goal in injury time to give the home side a 2-1 win. Way to go Home U.
