X-S FC Draw After Conceding 2-goal Lead

Jusdriano thought he had sent X-S to the top of the table with 2 quickfire goals but in typical X-S fashion, they lost the plot as they released their stranglehold on the game in the second half to concede two weak goals. It showed as they were missing Rio Ferdineng in defence and a real goalkeeper between the sticks. Nevertheless, commendable performances by their stand-ins, namely BacaNuri Sagna and Derek O'Leary.

Manager Yarsene Wenger thinks that it will be very hard to get a good goal difference since X-S wins by the littlest of margins. He's going for a more gung-ho approach once he has his entire squad at his disposal. The attendance was decent but the midfield was starting to look stretched in the second half. There was a lack of replacements, most of whom were unknown disappearances.

He's thrilled with the results against the runners-up in the league from last season, and you can bet X-S will be around the top of the table by the end of this season.

Attendance (14): Derek, Nuri, Farrell, WeeMeng, Boon, Shaun, Taka, Thaqif, Yasin, YongX, YongL, Jusri, Shah and Huda.
