 West Spring - Myjia sprang back to life from a lacklustre April to register their first win in a month in front of a season record crowd of 8 spectators.
Amongst the record crowd was injured Myjia winger Delvin Ng who showed his dedication to the team with his appearance at the stadium. The unfortunate winger will be in the treatment room for an indefinite period of time after tests confirmed Myjia's worst fears - a torn knee ligament, albeit partial.
Delvin watched the entire match as his teammates went about dismantling an inexperience PDX side.
In-form midfielder Leong Wai Meng opened the scoring in the 26th minute after a fine centre from Ebenzer Low. Wai Meng showed a decent first touch to control the ball and his second touch was a volley that went beyond the keeper's reach just outside the six yard box.
Myjia could have established a lead as early as the third minute when forward Ronnie Low slid in from an impressie Wilson Tan cutback from the byline.
The ball deflected off a defender and away from the keeper before another defender attempted to slice the ball away to safety. In the ensuing melee, veteran forward Eric Low pounced a fraction too late before the keeper recovered to hold on to the ball.
Myjia were brilliant on both wings manned by Wilson on the left and the fast-improving Ebenzer on the right. The PDX fullbacks were constantly pegged back by the brilliance of the Myjia wingers and after a neat buildup, Wai Meng provided Myjia with the lead with his 8th goal in seven games.
More was to come for Myjia. A schoolboy error from the PDX keeper saw him handle a throw-in and Myjia hotshot Chia Junhao showed a great degree of understanding with Wai Meng as soon as an indirect freekick was rewarded.
Junhao rushed to take the freekick and Wai Meng in tandem surged from midfield in anticipation as the entire PDX team was caught napping. The well-flighted cross came in and Wai Meng met the ball in mid air with a gravity-defying diving header. Myjia were sent two goals up and on their way to a victory!
The manner of Myjia's play suggested the players knew the game was theirs for the taking and after trooping in jubilantly at halftime, the players continued their fine passing and movement in the second half.
Chances were hardly short in supply and it was a purely experimental attack that saw the chances go abegging. Wilkin Tan replaced Ronnie Low in attack with the latter filling in impressively at rightback. Wilkin himself was guilty of a couple of excellent chances as did Junhao who is in some sort of a mini goal drought at the moment.
With the excellent Ng Yong Chun sweeping the defence, PDX were never likely to score from open play and when they were awarded a freekick in the 66th minute, the PDX midfielder gave a glimpse of what was to come as his shot palmed off Raymond Tan's hands and onto the crossbar and then to safety.
Despite Myjia's dominance, the inevitable happened - Myjia's habit of conceding at least a goal a game. PDX were awarded another freekick from a similar position and with a wicked bend, the ball flew to the top right corner which Raymond had no answer for.
2-1 and Myjia suddenly looked nervy as the confidence previously displayed slowly ebbed away.
The pair of Tan brothers had other ideas though.
Receiving a pass from midfield, Wilkin turned his marker and provided a teasing through ball fro his twin brother, Wilson to rocket the ball past the hapless keeper into the roof of the net to restore Myjia's two goal advantage.
Wilson almost added his second goal of the game when he met Wai Meng's freekick with a perfect header only for the keeper to fortuitously bundle the ball over the bar.
By this time, PDX had visibly given up and as a solemn Delvin could only look in envy and congratulate his teammates for an efficient 3-1 victory, his teammates offered, "This win is dedicated to Delvin as he works his way back to fitness. We can't wait to see him flying down the wings again!" |

AARON OUT ON LOAN
Tuas - Myjia defender Aaron Tan has been loaned out for up to one month following an emergency request from an unnamed club. The defender will miss the next two fixtures as Myjia tries to cope with the loss.
Meanwhile, Kenneth Koh will also be unavailable for the next match due to personal commitments. Attempts by Myjia in the transfer market to fill the gaps in midfield and defence has been unsuccessful and with morale at an all-time low, Myjia could be staring at a third straight defeat on Saturday , 10th May.
Long term injury victim Delvin Ng is set to support his team mates on Saturday as he seeks to recover his fitness and aid Myjia's cause. |

 Myjia Pictures - Junhao and Ebenzer in training before getting thrashed 5-1 by Marine Sunday.
BOON LAY - After a week where midfielder Eric Low barely recovered from the chickenpox virus and in the process infecting Myjia youngster Glenn Low, the Myjia camp received another damning piece of news - wing sensation Delvin Ng could be out for up to six months.
The exciting winger was sent crashing to the ground in a league match against Ron Blue FC and while awaiting results of his scan, Myjia physio has warned that Delvin might have damaged his anterior cruciate ligament and could be out for six months. The injury is similar to the one which famed Brazilian striker Ronaldo suffered which threathen his career.
On the other side, Myjia player-manager Vincent Low had previously suffered a similiar injury and has recovered fully to lead Myjia on to the field of battle again. Even better still, the diagnosis report could merely be bruising at the knee which will only keep Delvin out for about two to four weeks. The Myjia camp is hoping and praying that Delvin will rejoin the squad in two weeks time.
Myjia has moved fast in the transfer market after a dramatic slump in the results which have seen Myjia concede ten goals in the last two games including a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Marine Sunday.
An undisclosed player is rumoured to be in line to make his debut for Myjia in the next game as Myjia seek to address the decline. |
