(Agilent - Bayan Lepas), 13 Dec - The return of the inform Saturns put up a 5 stars performance against the arch rival NByN (Naughty By Night), with the Nites Rider only managed to reply once.
This time around the flamboyant winger Lau of Saturn switched position with Saturn's best seasonal right midfield-winger CL from his self-claimed favourite left wing to the right wing area, and cross an inch-perfect ball to CL which ran from the left with a half volley-tap in. 1-0 and Saturn took the lead as early in the 10th minute. Jolly to the Saturns and Lau was seen waving a happy hands. Of course "lah".. his assist statistics incline is like the best sex he is having.
The Nites-rider put up their usual play, dominating the midfield with the counter attacks play and wing-switching crosses. The return of the in-form KC and TK partnership, aided with Allan, SK, SengBak and Andrew, managed to shield most of the counter attacks from the NByN. The NByN could not fire meaningful assault and Andy Chong of NByN was silent in the attack. The usual individual display of NByN at the attack could only trouble Saturn's Ko in limited occurance.
Saturn's star striker Wong was on loan to NByN for the first half of the game due to insufficient players by the NByN squad did a perfect job in parrying away several Saturn's shots and guarded the goalmouth well, perventing further gaps in the scoreline.
Switching to the second half, the Saturn ran riot to the NByN. The second goal of the Saturn came from Wong after a clever passing by KW in the 50th minute. 2-0 the Saturn was a little bit surprised that NByN allowed the scoreline to be 2-0. By this time the NByN players were discontent amongst each other's playing style and pressing more towards attacking in hoping to find the net.
Wong's fuzzy runs caused so much of the troubles to the defence of the NByN, after some exchange passes via the Saturn midfielders, attacked from the right by-line after fooling NByN's defenders, and calmly placed the ball to Jerome. With a touch on the flying ball by Jerome, and an empty net in front while the NByN Keeper Michael was closing down on Wong, the entire Saturns including the bench was thinking Oh-no-Jerome-dont-touch-so-much-and-just-hit-the-ball-la kind of 1-eye-closed, Jerome did not disappoint and put the scoreline to 3-0 to the Saturns! Phew...kanasai Jerome's 2nd touch managed to put the ball into the net. Solid 3-0 to the Saturns.
A midfield throughball by KW combined with SK, found Lau in the space on the right, and Lau put up a lucky teasing high ball crossing into NByN's box. A slight confusion by NByN's defender with their Keeper, and a challenge by Wong, seeing Michael could not handle the crossing well and the ball dropped towards Wong. Wong finished the move brilliantly as usual and putting the ball into the net. 4-0 the scoreline the Saturn scewing NByN and Lau happily claimed the assist.
NByN managed to score one back with a fine looping shot into the top right corner of Saturn's net. Ko stretched but just could not manage this perfect ball. 4-1 the scoreline at the 75th minute.
Saturns launched so many attacks that yielded several corner kicks and the tall TK just could not place good headers.
The 5th goal for the Saturns came at 80th minute of the play, when a NByN defender handheld a bounching ball outside of the D. A quick and smart freekick touch by KW found SK awaiting and connecting. SK's right foot looping shot nicely flew into the top left corner of the NByN's beating their keeper, bounching into the cross bar and the left post, and with Wong racing towards but claiming not touching the ball, as the ball already went into the net by that moment. 5-1 the Saturns completed the riot with a sublime scorelines. The in-forms Saturns is back in business.
MOM - Lau.
