Marsiling - In a match in which Myjia had set their sight on ending their winless streak, Myjia was forced to field a makeshift midfield with the absence of key midfielders Kenneth Koh and Leong Wai Meng, currently on loan to Toronto FC.
Myjia began the match on the wrong foot by conceding an early goal after a swift break by Olympic Marsiling. It was a sign of opening floodgates. However Myjia reorganised and ensured that the match remained evenly contested.
For much of the first half, the match was restricted to the middle of the park until player/manager Vincent Low made a tactical reshuffle which saw him moving up to an attacking role. The match soon began to open up with Myjia having more opportunity to test the keeper.
On the 40th minute, Myjia got back level on terms with a calm finish by Vincent Low after receiving a sublime pass from Delvin. The goal was celebrated with his trademark dance.
Myjia headed into the break with one goal apiece and in attempt to increase Myjia attacking threat, speed demon Delvin Ng, who score three goals in his past three matches, was given the task to spearhead Myjia attack.
It took just minutes after the restart before Delvin Ng proved why he was given the task to spearhead the attack. After receiving a superb long ball from Mingchun, Delvin took the ball and calmly placed it past the keeper for his 4th goal in 4 matches. He is quickly imposing himself as a fan favourite with his goals.
Myjia continued to dominate the second half with Junhao and Jerry dictating the pace of the game. It was not long before Myjia doubled their lead. A superb one-two play between Delvin and Vincent set Vincent through on goal. However instead of taking a shot, he squared the ball back to Ebenzer who make no mistake in firing the ball into the back of the net for his first goal of the season.
3-1 was the score-line and Myjia seem destined for a victory. However, a seventy yard screamer from Olympic Marsiling’s midfielder caught Myjia’s keeper napping and Myjia was left in a state of shock.
Tables were turned and Myjia’s dominance began to fade. Olympic Marsiling immediately took full advantage of their dominance and Myjia's lapse of concentration by finding the back of the net twice in a space of five minutes. 4-3 was the score-line as Myjia faced with a twist of fate and seems destined for yet another disappointing result.
However Myjia continued to press for an equaliser but came to no avail. In the closing minutes of the match, Myjia perseverance finally paid off when chief striker Junhao headed the ball into the back of the net after a sweet delivery from Jerry through a freekick.
The goal gave Myjia a slim ray of hope to notch a victory. However any thoughts of a victory vanished when the sound of the referee’s whistle filled the pitch to signal the end of the match.
Despite their dominance and opportunities, Myjia had yet again failed to break their winless streak and had to rely on Junhao’s equaliser in the closing moment to spare the blushes. 5 matches with no victory is a statistic in which is not desired by both Myjia fans and the players. Myjia fans will be desperately hoping that this statistic will be broken in the upcoming fixture against Temasek Boys FC.
