Match Report : Hosts Dominating But SRM Lucky To Escape In Goalless Draw.

The Young Cowboys became The Little Cowboys yesterday.

Genki Noob drew 0-0 with SRM at the Noobie Park Stadium this evening. Chances were few for SRM but the opponent had several golden chances including awarded a penalty.

After a cautious start by both sides Genki started to push forward and created a couple of half-chances. Nisham was forced to tipped off clear a shot from outside the penalty area. After that, Genki were beginning to dominate proceedings as their left winger began to dictate the play and nearly opened the scoring through an excellent run but keeper managed to block his effort.

Just a couple minutes left, SRM conceded a penalty when Aziwan caught for handball inside the penalty box. Before that, Genki left winger, once again run cleverly passed Aziwan and sent a low cross for his team mates but the keeper intercepted his cross. Unfortunately, the ball rebound to the Genki's player and he launched an immediate shot but once again, keeper saved the day. A bad clearance from SRM defender, had given the opponent a third chance to score but somehow the ball hit Aziwan's hands before rolled into the net.

The goal cancelled but a penalty given to Genki. With a help from luck and his team mates, Nisham dived to left post and grabbed the ball calmly. A quick counter-attack from SRM almost gave them a lead when a long ball from Nisham caught the ooponent slept but Ammar failed to finish the job.

Genki engineered good passing movements but they resulted in very little in the way of scoring opportunities while SRM was like a 10 years old kids playing football. Their pass, position, composure, shot, first touch and communication were unacceptable very awful.

Genki was the winner because they gained so many possessions, good man-marking play and excellently won the air battle. While the SRM lose in every aspects and their performance were largely disappointed. The game continued with both side made substitutions but the score sheet still unchanged.

SRM currently second in Group B with F&F lead the table after they crushed Gakerata 3-1 last Tuesday followed by Genki Noob and Gakerata.

The chance is still there but SRM have to improve themselves in order to progress to the next stage. Good luck lads.
