ITE Balestier
=========================================================
This match marks a few first . Our first goal, our first points and of course our first win.
Despite going into the break all thanks to two sloppy piece of defending, we came back fighting.
Jazz's number 7 proved to be a constant threat to our team.
==========================================================
From a counter attack, Chuan Seng's cross found everything but a player. But out of nowhere, Ah Binn unleashed a powerful first time volley. The keeper had no chance at all.
From there on, Jazz kept on pushing for the killer punch. From yet another counter attack, Eddie found Ah Binn with a through ball and Ah Binn took it with "open arms" and make no mistake.
We could have taken the lead about 10 mins later, but Chuan spurn a good one on one chance.
But Chuan was not to be denied and he scored soon after that miss after some good work form Eddie.
The action soon after saw TFC's players showing the opponent just how hungry they were for the win.
Ah Chen started the yellow card frenzy with a tactical tackle on the opponent's no. 7. Not soon after, Hisham, Ah Binn and a few others all went into the ref's book.
There was a few close calls for penalties for Jazz, but tough luck.
We hanged on till the end of te whistle to record our first win of the season.
From this game, we showed very good fighting spirit and team work. We did not give up even though we were 2 goals down.
Kudos to Razali, Kenny, Chuan Seng and Eddie for the fine game they had. But Ah Binn was not to be denied his first Man of the Match.
Well done Thanatos FC.
On a side note, Jazz really pushed us to the limit and all the best for their season ahead.

Thanatos vs C9

Greenview Sec School
Weather: Super Hot
Our opponent for the day, unlike us has been playing together for some time now.
The game started off rather slowly, with both team just passing the ball around without any intention to attack.
At around the 20 min mark, the opponent somehow found the net with a low shot. Our keeper, Ah Binn was super rusty as the last time he kept was almost 4 mths ao.
We continued to press forward but it proved to be fruitless.
A free kick just outside of our penalty box saw Ah Binn's effort from a long way out nearly finding the net.
Just before half time, from a fast break, Chuan Seng's pin point cross was met by Chuan. But his header could only find the top bar.
Half time saw a couple of changes. Although we had 15 players for the day, 4 of them were injured during the midst of the game.
Nothing changed for the better of the second half with Kenny hitting the post from a well taken free kick outside the opponent's penalty box. Hisham also saw his effort hitting the top bar.
With just a few mins left, C9 scored their second of the day when a defensive lapse costed us dear.
Although we did not gt any points from this match, we put together a much improved performance compared to our last outing.

Thanatos FC vs Red Star Semangat
A very competitive game from the start. We were unlucky to lose by such a margin.
The game started off exactly the way we did not want it, with a man down.
Reinforcement came soon after that. A bad call from the refree caused us the first goal when RSS's striker was a gazillion miles offside.
Not before long, we find ourselves down by two goals as slack defending left RSS's striker with only a easy tap in for the second goal.
Tas nearly pulled a goal back, but was denied by the post.
Three more weak goals and a red card later, the game is over.
A game played in good spirits until the opponents mf decides to play Rocky. A very rash move from Binn left the ref no choice but to show the two guys the showers.
Guys, we must remember that this is a league and we must always remember that there is something called goal difference.
Kudos to the opponents for a job well done.
First competitive match, bad performance. we can only go up from here.
Good play from Bernard at left back. Fully deserves the man of tha match.
