The MG's are still unbeaten this year after last week 5 - 2 demolition of UKAY fc. Our Opposition this week is Maluri second in the league who only manage a 2-2 draw againts the resurgent Butcher FC, with thier ex national goalkeeper (V. Murugan) travelling all the way from Ipoh and star striker Craig Rodney looking for a victory againts the MG.

MG's were missing a few important player with Kurt the cat( fever)Alberto(shoulder)Graham,John,Luis(away), after juan, mike, marcelo's disscusion we have our lineup shown on top with Manuel replacing Kurt who is in the hospital.

as usual the mg's were slow off the mark and it shows as maluri took charge, they husle us into losing possesion, they filled uo the gaps left by us and began to attacked us hard in the first 20 minutes. there was an incident where mani the maluri right winger broke free drible pass Marcelo luckily Lim was there to clear of the ball but with a heavy two foot tackle by Mani that earn him a yellow card and Lim's substituited by Jerome. invitably they came off with the goods scoring from a high cross that was met with a superb diving header from Craig Rodney leaving Manuel with no chance 1-0 to maluri. Mg's reorganised very quickly tweaked our central deffence and midfield a little, only then the puzzles fell into place, the passing, positioning and the support play all came in together nicely. confidently we pressed for an equallizer...from a set piece mikey played the ball to the right side for Tobias who turn and beat the defender before setting up Jerome who smashed the ball to the top right corner living maluri Ex national Goalkeeper no chance 1-1 the scored. eventually it was the last kick of the half.

second half we were determind not to concede anymore goals- marshal by our Raging Bull in defence and Pit Bull in midfield, couple of good comunications we literally shut down Maluri attacks, with maluri runs out ideas Mg's make a quick counter attack with darmen playing the ball to Askan who found Tobias on the right as tobias easilly drible pass thier deffence and rounding of the keeper to slot home his 12 Goals of the season. 2-1 Maluri was shocked so are thier supporter and the bench, they came back strongly looking for the equaliser with 1 attack after another but the strong midfield of Juan, Jerome, Hosain, Askan, manage to cut them off. with time running out Maluri tried from shotting from far with no success leaving manuel to pick up the balls and run down the clock....... but the mg have the last attack with askan decepting one of thier attack and he drible pass 4 defender and was unlucky thier keeper make a super safe then came the final wisle, final score MG 2 Maluri 1.
