Braddell - Myjia winger Jackson Seetoh capped his return to the side with two well-taken goals to lead Myjia to a 7-2 victory over PUB Veterans.
Myjia, playing without injured striker Junhao, fielded an unfamiliar strike pairing of Jackson and Ronnie and the pair justified the manager's selection with convincing performances. Despite falling behind early in the game, Myjia never let their heads down and were duly rewarded with a marauding run by Jackson right through the PUB water-tight defence. From a seemingly impossible angle, Jackson whipped in a curling shot from near the byline to level the score for Myjia at one apiece.
The scoreline read 2-1 in favour of Myjia soon after. Chasing a lost cause, Jackson's determination forced the PUB 'keeper into an embarassing blunder as he let slip an easy catch for the Myjia forward to slot in his second of the game.
Myjia continued to pour forward with Kenneth bombarding from midfield. Ten minutes before the halftime whistle, the energetic midfielder added to his season tally with a powerful shot which the 'keeper found too hot to handle. Kenneth was unlucky not to score again in the second half after his acrobatic bicycle kick from outside the box hit the post and then rebounded to safety.
The 3-1 lead by Myjia was almost marred by an incident in the 40th minute in which Wai Meng reacted furiously to a slap on the back of his head by the opponent. Both players had to be pulled apart and escaped a caution by the lenient referee.
Unsurprisingly after the unsavoury incident, Wai Meng did not march out with the rest of the squad at the beginning of the second half. The change in personnel did not affect the tempo of Myjia as debutant Roy stamped his class in midfield with longtime buddy Kenneth. Roy, who had been on trial at Myjia for two months, exchanged neat passes with Kenneth in midfield before the latter threaded a through pass for right winger Wilkin Tan to notch his second goal of the season.
PUB responded briefly with a goal of their own in the 63rd minute to put the scoreline at 4-2 but their attempted fightback proved futile. Goalscoring centreback Sunny restored Myjia's three goal cushion with a thunderous shot from way outside the box minutes later to shatter any dreams of a comeback for PUB. The goal was Sunny's fifth of the season.
It was 6-2 by the 70th minute, Wilson Tan latching on to an unselfish pass from Delvin to finish with aplomb. It was the first time the Tan twins have scored together in a same match. With the floodlights dimly liting the PUB field, Roy executed a perfect lob over the 'keeper and marked his debut with a glorious goal.
7-2 to Myjia at the full time whistle and the team heads for a winter break till 9 December to meet PUB Veterans again in the reverse fixture.
