Mont Kiara FC unbeaten run came to an end

After staying unbeaten since the start of the year, Mont Kiara FC unbeaten run came to an end, losing 3-2 to SMAKL. SMAKL is a local school which came runners up in the U18 Sentul District inter school championship and will represent the district in the State competition.

The game was played under dark clouds but MKFC started brightly by taking the lead on the 10th minute. A poor clearance by SMAKL defender was pick up by Nathan Pike and he slots it home with a stiff grounder. Not many chances was created by both teams where most of the possession was won and lost at the middle of the park. However in the 25th minute, SMAKL drew level. A defensive mistake allowed SMAKL launch a quick counter attack and gave Puvan no chance to make a save. 1-1 at half time.

2nd half, SMAKL have more possession of the ball and MKFC players looks lethargic. Our midfield lost possession too easily and did not win any tackles where SMAKL puts on the pressure whenever MKFC’s players have the ball. SMAKL took the lead early in the 2nd half from a corner. A lapse of concentration allows a SMAKL player sneak to the near post and scored from a tight angle. SMAKL scored another goal 10 minutes later to make it 3-1. Although Osama Saeed score late in the 2nd half to make it 3-2, it is a little too late for a fight back.

MKFC did not play badly,  however some defensive mistakes and lack of tactical discipline cost MKFC the game. There will be lots to work on in training and MKFC shall have a return match soon.

Osama Saeed saves MKFC with last minute strike

Osama Saeed scored in the dying minutes to salvage a 1-1 draw against SJCSC.  In a game of 3 halves, SJCSC took the lead against the run of play in the 2nd half, however they finally caved in after waves and waves of MKFC attack through out the 3rd half of the game.

This match was play out at USJ 12 football ground which the field is in a shocking condition. 70% of the field was dirt with no grass. The ground was hard and bumpy resulting MKFC fail to play their usual passing game. Failure to adapt to the condition prove costly as well as missing all the clear cut chances.

First half finish 0-0 with Rohan Jonathan missing a penalty on the 16th minute.  MKFC had most of the ball possession but lacking the killer pass. MKFC created more chances on the 2nd half with the best one fell to Brannon who fail to hit the target from 5 meters out. Fareez hit a beautiful curling freekick which beats the keeper but not the crossbar.  Puvan made a fantastic one on one save to keep the scoreline 0-0 at the end of the 2nd half.

On the 3rd half, MKFC again created more chances. Nathan Pike completely miss the target with the goalkeeper to beat and again had his shot save by SJCSC keeper after his great run from the left. Nathan Pike was guilty again for failing to connect to an open goal following a  low cross from the right. Ibrahim also had his shot save at close range after making a great run to fired the ball from far post. And against the run of play, SJCSC scored. 1-0 down with 10 minutes to go.

On a positive note, MKFC kept on their attacking play and was rewarded a well deserve goal. It came with 3 minutes to play when Osama stabbed home with a low hard drive that finally beats the keeper.

1-1 it ends and it did mark a slight improvement for MKFC. Good news is MKFC is still unbeaten in regulation time since new year and hopefully it will continue with this weekend cruncher against USJ One at Stadium MPSJ

As the match goes on, Mont Kiara FC grew in confidence and Nathan Pike was presented a great chance to take the lead but failed to capitalize. However, Roku FC managed to settle down and had Mont Kiara FC defense on the back foot, and Coach Wan needed to make a change.

An adjustment to the back four was needed on the 10th minute and Mohd Izzat was brought on to replace Peter Fu, shifting Nizam Yahya to the left back, thus pairing Nick Ng and Mohd Izzat at the center. That did steady the defense. Another changes was made when Ren Zhi was brought on for Osama Saeed who had to be taken out due to asthma problem. Ren Zhi quickly made an impact to the game and contributed to the first goal.  Ren Zhi sends in a perfect long ball for Nathan Pike to chase on. Roku FC’s keeper came off the line tried to clear the ball while under pressure from Nathan, and the ball falls nicely to James Howat. James compose himself and place the shot into the goal with his weaker right foot ( he is a lefty ). 1-0 up ! The half ended with Mont Kiara FC have total control of the match while Roku FC did not even manage a single shot on target.

Mont Kiara FC keep up the good work they did on the first half, keeping the ball nicely and defended well when the lose the ball. Mont Kiara FC managed to contained the Japanese side with all midfielders forming the first wall of defense on the middle of the park. Amir Al Idrus also had the Japanese most impressive player ( No 22 ) at his back pocket, shutting him down using his own strength which is his speed.

Mont Kiara FC scored their deserving 2nd goal with a fantastic shot from Ren Zhi. Receiving the ball from his left, Ren Zhi set himself up and hammer in a shot from 25 meters out that sail past the keeper. A great goal with a touch of class !
