(Pasir Ris Sec)

Prestigio 0-2 Team Tsubasa

Starting Lineup: Jaz, Handri, Farhan, Sabri, Alfa, Sentosa, Pradeep, Hafiz Ahmad, Viera, Kecyk, Yan

Subs: Hafiz, Wak, Collin

Prestigio's hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages ended when they lost to Div 4 side Team Tsubasa. After almost upsetting the odds last season against Div 1 side Raven Utd, expectations were high when Prestigio was grouped into a relatively easy-looking group. All it needed was a good win to ensure qualification, but the win didn't materialised.

Prestigio will rue that they had to settle for a completely makeshift defence with the key absence of Rusydi, Jon and Zai. Farhan and Sabri had to move from their favoured positions to the centre of defence, with wak providing some cover.

It was clear in that match that Tsubasa were so energetic and spirited, while Prestigio almost played lifelessly. Only one neat combination play between Yan and Kecyk was the only wonderful sight to behold. it would have been one of Prestigio's best goals scored if Yan had converted the chance.

Prestigio was so worried about the defence that concentration and emphasis on attacking was lost, and many times Yan was a frustrated figure up front. Delivery was poor and even the usual flair and creativity from Alfa and Sentosa was absent, hence there was no rhythm to the play.

Pradeep was not as his usual too as he had to endure his hamstring pain and played the game with it.

It was indeed the worst performance of the season despite the previous game's heroics.

This weekend though, is the big game at Ahmad Ibrahim as Prestigio will go head to head with high flying Holland Park who has already won 4 out of 4 and conceded only one in the league. Time for a big rallying call.

It has come to the awareness of the team that commitment to the team has been a big problem.

Playing in a league where we have invested so much, we expect our players to be players who are committed to this team and not those who want to come only when they feel like it.

it is also not fair for those players who burn their time, effort and energy to come for matches and other players decide to give the game a miss without valid reasons.

Valid reasons for your absence can be accepted, but last minute pull outs causes problems for the team to find replacements. therefore, we appreciate that those who do not have valid reasons such as injuries or urgent matters, please come and attend the matches for the good of the team and also for the fairness of the other teamates.

Also, we will like everyone to once again confirm with our team manager Kecyk, on whether you want to or able to commit to this team fully, so that we can avoid this situation again in future. For those that no longer can commit or want to play at their own free will, please inform Kecyk too.

We hope everyone will understand that we all want the best for this team and we are serious on moving on with only our serious players.

Prestigio 5-3 Renaissance

Starting Lineup: Jaz, Farhan, Zai, Rusydi, Jon, Sentosa, Pradeep, Alfa, Zul, Kecyk
Subs: Wak

Scorers: Rusydi(2), Farhan, Alfa, Kecyk
Assists: Sentosa(2)



Prestigio put on their most lung-bursting and inspiring performance that was all down to pure teamwork and motivation. With many players announcing last minute absence, Prestigio started off the match with 9 men, shortly which Jaz came in and slotted into his goalkeeping position. Yet, being short in numbers, early exchanges and posession were much in favour of the tireless Prestigio, with Renaissance failing to hold on to posession long.

Despite the superiority, Prestigio went down to a header from a corner in which Jaz flopped his save and couldn't beat the ball out in time as it had already crossed the goal-line.

Despite being a goal-down, Prestigio still played on their own game and a goal looked so imminent, and when towering centre-back Rusydi makes those bursting runs into attack, you sense the intention and a goal was going to come. Indeed Prestigio got the goal after Rusydi received a delicate long ball from Sentosa, in which he later shrugged off his man before slotting into the bottome left corner of the goal.

Minutes later and Prestigio earned a penalty after Renaissance's defender handled the ball inside their box. Up steps Rusydi again to score his 4th goal of the season.

Renaissance FC started the second half much stronger and got their goal to level things up at 2-2.



Minutes later, Prestigio suffered another setback as left-back Jon injured his knee badly after attempting to turn the defender around. A loud crack could be heard and straight away he went down in agony.

With 9 men on the field, it looked more likely that Renaissance will dump Prestigio throughout. But a sweet freekick by Farhan ended right at the corner of the goal to give Prestigio a 3-2 lead. by this time Prestigio sensed that they can still win the game. Renaissance replied with another goal and it looked that it will be down to which team wants it more.

It turned out that Prestigio were more mentally strong and scored another 2 goals to kill off any chance of a Renaissance comeback. Alfa scored a stunning long range shot which caught the keeper motionless, and kecyk scored a fine placed header which was brilliantly supplied again by Sentosa.




Special mention had to go to the quartet of Farhan, Alfa, Sentosa and Pradeep, for their lung-bursting and united performance. Farhan was sensational at right back with both elements of attacking and defending at the show. Alfa ran riot on the Renaissance defence after being given the free role. Sentosa provided a great example to fellow players, in which he showed great passing range, speed and endurance playing with a heavily bruised thigh. Pradeep was ever present in all areas of the midfield, left-centre-right, and shutted down the opposition brilliantly.

The defence also deserves to be praised. Zai making countless of key clearance, headers and interceptions, rusydi who man-marked their star striker well and put on his best efforts to stop him, and Wak, who came during the second half and volunteered to play using Jon's boots, for providing an extra body and stability in the defence.



This was indeed Prestigio's most united and committed performance, and they have also closed the gap on league leaders New Eastroids following their 2-1 defeat to Holland Park, and also with a game in hand.
