X-S FC returned with a win, albeit a slender one, after a one week absence on the footballing scene. Mashaunrano's goal was all it took to win the game, one that X-S dominated thoroughly but as usual, just can't seem to make the ball enter the net. It came early in the game, somewhere around 2 minutes, after some beautiful interplay and passing, a build-up that involved the whole team. All that mattered was when Mashaunrano picked up the pieces from the edge of the box and side-footed a 20 yard shot into the top corner. A beauty, but still short of what everyone would see in the second half.

The players present were similar to the previous games, except that Daniel Alves was named in the starting line-up, and received a standing ovation from the fans after recovering from a horrific car accident. (No one is sure if another long term injury player, Beckham Woo, will receive the same reception and enthusiasm from the fans. apologies to Beckham Woo, but can't help it. ). Thaqif's younger brother, Naqib, was on loan as goalkeeper and impressed the coaching staff and players as he kept a clean sheet and showed excellent handling and reading of the game, including winning a one-on-one duel with an opposing striker.

Now here comes the interesting part. Midway through the second half, X-S centre-back Jamie Farrellgher got on the end of a headed clearance and sent a volley towards goal which was on target but gave the keeper an easy catch. Moments later, he was onto another clearance and this time the volley cleared the bar by millimetres. Outstanding and tremendous efforts from the young and dashing centre-back, which shows that he is still nowhere near the potential he has. Guys, we have to learn from him definitely.

Moan of the match: Bacanuri Sagna went to ground after losing his balance and shouted something that sounded like a vulgarity which echoed throughout the stadium, heard by the capacity crowd. It did no good to the ears of the young audience, and Sagna's place in the PFA Team of the Year will be taken into consideration.

Next Match: 25 May, Compassvale Sec, 11am.
