Here’s another picture from the RHB Singapore Cup Quarter-Final 2nd Leg between Bangkok Glass and South Melbourne.
This time it was the Bangkok Glass striker who takes the limelight as he beats his marker on the dribble and takes the ball into the penalty area. Did he manage to score? He didn’t. He lost the ball to another defender.
To add to the story, a fellow spectator who sat behind me lamented about how useless the No.9 was throughout the game. Translating from the Chinese dialect of Hokkien, he said that these foreign imports have no skill, they only look good because they have the physique. It was quite entertaining to hear his ‘live commentary’ throughout the game as he made negative comments on every missed opportunities from both teams and bad decisions by the referee. They were however all said in good humour I believe.
But to give the striker credit, he did pounce on an opportunity to score the equalising goal that tied the score at 3-3 towards the end. The pity was that the ‘live commentator’ did not get to see it as he had already left his seat.
