FC DC unlucky in Ultimate Challenge Final

FC Dragonscage finished in 2nd place in the Ultimate Challenge held at Feeko Sportshub yesterday.

In the first match, a goal for FC Romeos were ruled out before Lord Mar & Fauzi (a.k.a Ramos) scored the goals for FC DC's first win.

The second game was against a team...hmm let me call em, Bolton for their malicious ways.
Aggression is part and parcel of the game but malice is hardly fair play.
It all started when the quick-minded Amin intercepted a pass from the keeper to his defender to open the score. Bolton was livid and started their malicious game. Amin appeared to be the brunt of their wrath and was involved in a few off-the-ball incidents. Elbows and wild kicks came flying in as Bolton equalised in controversial fashion. FC DC had stopped play thinking there was an infringement.

Amin then scored a devastating curling freekick from just inside the opposition half to seal a 1-0 win in the next match. A "Freekick Maut" according to Bob.

In the Semi-finals, FC DC were then held to a 0-0 game before it went to penalties. Mar unluckily missed the target before Amin converted his kick. Fadzully though was the man of the match as he saved ALL three penalties to bring them through to the final.

FC Dragonscage were going to face Bolton yet again...this time in the grand finale.
Surprisingly, some of the Bolton players apologised for their actions in the previous tie before the match. FC DC dominated proceedings and hit the post twice. Mar & Sheva were in fine form.
Sheva was slowly showing the leggy dribbling ability that we all know he is capable of. Lady Luck though was having her period and didn't smile at us. To the penalty shoot out yet again.

Mar made no mistake from the spot before the keeper managed to save Bob's shot and pushed Amin's penalty to the bar. It wasn't the happy ending that FC DC were looking for.

Bob quipped, "Did you hear what their keeper said? He said he can't sleep tonight! For us, tomorrow it's just a normal working day. Can you see the difference in level...?"

FC DC though deserved a lot of credit.
Sheva, Fad & Mar had to cover as goalie after Husnul was ruled out due to 'jemputan duties' and they did well. And Fauzi Ramos and Hairil Puyol was impeccable at the back. Well done lads!!

Till we meet again next time... See you~
