Boo FC vs AM Gunners [friendly]

A dissapointing loss to the hands of AM Gunners ended the boos record breaking unbeaten run of eight games. The boos were under pressure for most of the first half as they were beaten 4-1 but dominated the second half as the roles were reversed and nearly did the great escape as the match ended 4-3. Pojan, Fizul and Marul were the scorers.

The team in full: Pojan, Marul, Gryn, Fwat, Syam, Mamad, Fadli, Mahmud, Mirul, Wajdy, Awie, Fizul, Najib, Kamal, Afiq, Zazi, Azeq.

The boos played with the usual 4-5-1 formation. Marul played as the targetman while Mirul and Mahmud played on the left and right wings respectively. Pojan and Safwat played in the centre with Fadli as the defensive support. Syam and Wajdi joined Gryn and Mamad in defence. Awie was in goal.

Boofc was given an early scare when a cross from the right evaded Awie and was met by a bad touch but not bad enough as to miss the goal. Fortunately, it was put out for a corner by Syam. Gunners soon open the deadlock after a neat passing play between Awit and TM. TM took a shot on goal. Awie saved it but failed to handle the ball as the rebound was fired into the net. It was soon 2 goals down for the boos. The ball was blocked by Syam and was deflected onto the path of TM who managed to squeeze the ball between Awie and his left hand post. Boo fc replied with a subtle goal through Pojan. Safwat took a shot that was blocked by the goalie but Pojan reacted quickly and kicked the ball through the keeper's legs and into the net. Gunners then regained their their two goals cushion. Awit did a great turn over Gryn and placed the ball out of Awie's reach. TM onced again doubled their advantage after Azeq lost possession. Najib just failed to clear the ball and TM used this to his advantage. After 45 exhausting minutes, the boos were 4-1 down. It could've been better for the boos though as a Mirul effort bounced of the post and when Mahmud failed to control the ball as it went harmlessly over the bar. Not to mention a well taken freekick from Fadli that was well saved by the keeper.

Serious changes were made for the second half. Zazi, Kamal and Fizul were brought in to replace Mirul, Fadli and Wajdy. Najib and Azeq who earlier replaced Syam and Mamad were also in the second half line-up.

The boos started the second half brightly after Fizul dribbled past two defenders inside the box and aimed his shot towards the keeper's far right. Another solo goal from inside the box, could this be the on-loan midfielder's trademark goal? The ball met the gunners goal post for the second time after Pojan shot kissed the top of the crossbar. By now the boos were in control and was rewarded with a third. Fwat was fouled on the left wing and the resulting freekick by Mahmud flew towards Marul who headed it into the net. The keeper had no chance. The scoreline was now 4-3. Confidence was on a high and boo fc gave their all to find the equaliser. Boo FC's defence was very solid, credits to Najib. The search for the equaliser was in vain as AM gunners managed to run the time out.

Boo FC vs BE FC (friendly)

BooFC continued their unbeaten run when they beat BE FC 6-3. Marul grabbed a brace and Pojan, Zazi, Fwat and Kamal contributed to the other four goals. Another six goals fot the boos!

The team in full: Pojan (C), Marul (VC), Afiq, Gryn, Najib, Kamal, Zazi, Fwat, Fizul, Syauqi, Awie, Limin, Wajdy, Mirul, Muen, Mahmud.

The boos favoured the 4-5-1 formation. Syauqi played alone upfront while Marul and Zazi supported him from the flanks. Fwat, Fizul and Pojan played in midfield while Afiq, Kamal, Gryn and Najib played in the backline. Awi retained his place in goal.

Marul started the goal fest when he got past his marker and beat the keeper after going one-on-one with him. Zazi then scored the second goal. His shot went beyond the keeper's reach and into the net. BE fc reduced the deficit after a rare error from Pojan, the mastermind behind the second goal. Pojan tried to pass the boal to Awie but was intercepted and the opposition capitalised. Fortunately, Pojan redeemed himself after a cross from the left by Fwat. The ball was well strucked past the goalkeeper. Kamal must have had his scoring boots on as he added the boos tally. Marul bended the ball towards Kamal. He was challenged by the keeper for the ball and won it fairly.

Limin, Wajdy, Mirul, Muen and Mahmud came in for the second half. Afiq, Kamal, Fizul, Najib and Syauqi gave way.

The boos were awarded a penalty after a handball inside the box. Safwat stepped up but the midfieldman wasted it as his shot went over the bar. A through ball from Marul allowed Fwat to make amends with a nice finish. Marul then put the icing on top as he made the scoreline 6-1 after a pass from Zazi. The match was far from over though as BE fc scored twice to make it 6-3. The first of these two was the result of a corner. Our defence failed to mark properly and the ball was haeded into Awie's top right corner. The latter was due to another mistake from the boos, this time from Mahmud. He accidently passed the ball to the BE's and they took advantage by scoring a consolation.
