Yishun- After a stuttering form throughout the season, pressure was rapidly increasing for Myjia to deliver. However the situation was not assisted with the absence of key players Seetoh Jackson, Leong Waimeng and Ng Yong Chun.
Despite missing several key players, Myjia started off the match brightly with Junhao leading the attack. However the series of attacks came to no avail.
Myjia persistence finally paid off on the 14th minute with a swift counter-attack movement. The ball cleared by the defence was picked up by Kenneth Koh who ran close to half the pitch before releasing the ball for Junhao. Beautiful first touch by Junhao allow him to set the ball up nicely for a shot. With a recent dip in form, there was increasing pressure for Junhao to deliver and he made no mistake and fired an unstoppable shot past the keeper.
However instead of building on the 1-0 lead, Myjia allowed Yishun Malays to dictate the tempo of the game. Yishun Malays' left winger was a constant torn for Myjia's defence with his blistering pace and silky skills despite his small frame.
On the 25th minute mark, Yishun Malays finally crawled their way back into the match with a quick break down the left wing and a defensive lapse.
1-1 was the scoreline with 20 minutes left on the clock before halftime, Myjia began to sense the importance of having a lead during a break. Myjia then regain composure and began to build up their momentum.
The breakthrough came on the 35th minute when Youngster Ebenzer put the finish touch to the end of a wonderful cross by chief striker Chia Junhao. 2-1 was the the scoreline and it was Ebenzer's 3rd goal of the season.
2-1 was the score displayed on the scoreboard as both team heads for half time. During half time Player/Manager Vincent Low made his usual half time teamtalk.
Minutes after the restart, Yishun Malays piled pressure and won a corner. A wonderful delivery from the corner resulted in a wonderful header by a Yishun Malays' defender. For the second time during the match Yishun Malays had drew level.
With the score levelled at 2 a piece, Myjia made a tactical reshuffle with Plyer/Manager Vincent Low pairing up with Junhao up front and new signing Jerry and Delvin marshalling the defence. Troubled by the flank play of Yishun Malays, Myjia defence were force to drop deep.
The tactical reshuffle almost paid off with a couple of wonderfully built-up attack only to be denied by poor cutting edge infront of goal. On the 70th minute, Jerry was denied his 1st goal for Myjia when his goalbound freekick was saved by fingertip of the keeper.
Yishun Malays also had their share of chances also to be let down by their finishing touch infront of goal and the heroics of shot-stopper Raymond.
In the closing minutes of the match, victory seems destined for Yishun Malays with a one on one situation with Raymond. However the shot was superbly tip away by an outstretch arm of Raymond. Besides, there was a sequel to the attack and a thunderous followed up strike seems destined for the back of the net. Yet again, the strike was punched away by Raymond and was safely cleared by Myjia's defender.
Due to the heroics of stop-stopper Raymond Tan, Myjia avoided defeat with the scoreline of 2-2.
