No Mercy For Veteran

By Wadud Yussop.


Players of Starjan getting ready for a match

On Tuesday, 31st of January, there was a match between Starjan and Veteran. The match was supposed to start at 3.00PM but due to a shortage of players, the game was delayed for 15 mins. Veteran still had a shortage of players so they had no choice but to borrow 3 players from the opposing team, Starjan. The match was filled with laughter as it was full of fun and suspense.

Veteran opened the score sheet when Izwan Roslan scored the first goal of the match. As they started to build up their momentum, Faisal Mohammad AKA Freezle, scored an equaliser for Starjan. It was his first ever goal in PTEKatok and he was very thrilled with it. The match was tied with 1 goal each for each team. Just then, it got heated up as both team tried to score again. Veteran once again lead the match as Afiq Amsyar scored from the outside of the penalty box. The first half finished off with a score of 2-1 lead by Veteran.

When they got to the second half of the match, Veteran started off strongly. They seemed to already have a definite win in the match as Izwan Roslan scored his second goal for Veteran. It was a lovely solo effort and an amazing pick from Faiz Afif. After leading the game for a while, they couldn't seem to keep up with it as Starjan quickly got ahead of them and scored their second goal through Munim Aji. It was a beautiful chip shot, leaving the keeper out of reach. Starjan equalised the score from a goal by Ilyaas Hadi. Then, Saufi Akmaluddin scored another goal, giving Starjan a lead of the match. The match got to a score of 3-5 when Ilyaas Hadi scored once more for Starjan. As the game was about to come to an end, Fairus got lucky and scored the spotkick with a beautifully executed penalty which they got from a handball by Veteran's defender.

The match came to an end with a score of 3-6 with Starjan in the lead. It was a completely enjoyable match to watch. The highlight of the match was Syafiq Sahrani and Masduqi, players of Starjan who both played solidly for Veteran. This game was referreed by Khairun Akmal.
