Was watching the live telecast earlier, again Singapore boys scored an early goal, played an aggressive match with great spirit & passion. The European players are much bigger than them, but it terms of skill, passing and speed we are certainly better.
Singapore young soccer players put up a superb performance in front of a sold-out crowd to beat Montenegro, 3-2.
The Singapore cubs struck first with an early goal, in 3 mins. This was followed by an equaliser from Montenegro. Shortly, Montenegro went up 2-1 from a penalty kick.
Singapore then equalised before the half time.
Playing in front of a home crowd, the cubs put up a spirited performance, frustrating the Montenegro players many a times.
In the second half, one of the Montenegro players punched a member of the Singaporean team following a tumble. The referee saw that and immediately awarded the player a red card, ejecting him from the field and leaving Montenegro with just 10 players.
Using their advantage, Singapore went on to score a third goad. With Brandon Koh taking Singapore into the lead 3-2. The YOG soccer match is played 80 mins, rather than 90 mins.
This is the hope of Singapore soccer. Look forward for the next match. We are now in the semi finals!
