For some strange reasons, I find this photo "exhilarating"! It's full of zest and power.

Another last grasp winner

"Now the battle lines are drawn for the showdown and probably the title decider match at Bishan on Fri, 6 Nov 2007."

A 90th minute goal saved the Protectors from bowing out of the championship race. Sharil Ishak scored the winner in a goal mouth dual. Earlier the Tigers have taken a 2 goal lead in the first half of the match. This despite incenssant raids by the Protectors on the Tigers's goal but none could find the back of the net. The Ivorian Dazzler Kone Hamed was a menace in the Balestier defence throughout tearing through the defence at every move. Finally on 43rd minute, he let go a scorching ball which the Tigers' custodian spilled only for Ludovick to pounce. 2-1 was the score when both teams trooped into the changing room.The Protectors' poured themselves in attack at the start of the second half. A missed penalty by Ludovick did not augur well for the Protectors to draw level. In the 69th minute, Qiu Li found space in the crowded box and bulged the ball into the net to draw level 2-2. The visitors found new hope and continued the pressure relentlessly. Just when everything seemed lost for the Protectors' Sharil Ishak saved the day for Home on 90th minute.

We are on our way

We are on our way to hold the Cup - really on our way. I am still panting from the adrenaline rush yesterday night. As Tampines Rovers defence stood firm solid against our onslaught, and slowly got into the game in the first half, I was clutching the edge of my seat and sweating like mad. It was really feeling like our encounter with the Young Lions once again, and I thought its deja vu. And Tampines Peres skilful near miss in the first half made me wonder whether we would have fared better with him in our team --- he was magical when he was wearing the Protector's shirt. He seemed adamant to make his mark against his old club.

But Kone's seems to rejuvenate his mana in the second half, as he single handedly led the Protectors resurgence to whack the Rovers 2-0. The first goal was just past the hour mark, as a break gave Kone space to slot in the ball nicely into the bottom corner with Rover's goalkeeper standing dumbstruck. The crowd went crazy! I went estactic. The second goal was pure magic. Kone took a pass nicely, ran down the middle, went pass the goalkeeper with a flick (reminds me of Ronaldino) and send the ball into goal. 2-0. It doesn't get better than this.

We are all geared and hyped to face the the Warriors two match away.
