Match Report

What a game. What more can I say?! We started with a strong team, featuring two debutants – Diego Badanca and Jesse Curran. Bardanca looked very solid at the back. Really dependable, comfortable on the ball and good movement all-round. He was right in front of us in the first half and we saw close up how good he is.
Jesse Curran was absolutely amazing in the first period. He played out wide on the right hand side, skipping past defenders, fast, great touch and obviously got a couple of goals. For the first one, he was clean through, one on one against Sinthaweechai, and just nicked the ball over him into the net. A classy finish. He looks a real bargain, but he faded a bit towards the end.
Overall, we were playing great stuff and cruised into a 3-0 lead. The game was ours so I went for a beer and to the toilet. When I returned, they had pulled a goal back. After the break, the goals continued to fly in and it was pretty much end to end stuff. Thankfully, our fifth goal – after Police Tero had clawed it back to 4-3, finished them off.
Anyway, it was a cracking game. Very entertaining. They played some decent stuff too and I was very impressed with them. They’re quite a strong team and very impressive going forward. I think we took our foot off the gas at three – nil up, but thankfully had enough left in the tank to record a 5-3 win. It’s always nice to score five and now I’m really looking forward to next weekend and our trip to Buriram.
