A Cruise Victory For SDX, Manager Satisfied

SDX FC started their MMU Champions League with a first win against La Resistance last Super Sunday. A 2-o win thanks to currently on form Imando Torres in the 50th minute and Reza added salt to the opponent's wound by netting another goal 1o minutes later. Both beautiful-yet-lucky goals scored by the team were caused by the goalkeeper's error has given SDX a three points in their group. During the 1st half, the overall gameplay was quite dull with no control over possession and lack of shoots on goal. Defensive walls are loose causing the opponent have chances to attack but most of them were canceled out by the centrebacks.Newly signed centerback, Nadeem stole the moment after nearly scored a goal from half the field. 1o minutes before the game ended, Manager decided on substituting four of their players hoping for an improvement in the game.
Second half shows tremendous change in the team after Manager gambled and changed four of their substitutes to opt for more attacking side. The team connected well with each other and more shoots were made until they were awarded with two 'beautiful' goals.
"I am happy for this win thanks to the players. Although we lost our tempo due to a lot of laughing on the field, we finally get our rhythm back," commented the Manager, Encik Shuk.
"Two more goals and I'll be on par with Avi!" said Imando Torres after the game.

Side stories during the game?
Top striker, Reyzwan denied that he has been 'Jersey-cursed' after not able to score during his first match. He promised to the team that he will improve on his upcoming game. After the game has ended, skipper Avi Cenna made a 'unintentional-censored statement' by wanting to hold Slampuck Gallas ball out loud. This made quite a minor havoc whereby he was actually referring to the team's lucky silver and orange-lined Nike football.
