Chittapa FC at the end of the SUKOM games last Sunday. Congratz CFC's guys. The guys showed some reli nice and exciting futsal thru out the tournament. All the players gave their best and it was a complete team game and the whole team including the Manager deserved the victory. Below is the details of The SUKOM games :
Group Stage :
First game was against Nye Ting, a M1 team. CFC got a free 3 points after the team failed to be on time for the match. After waited for almost 5 minutes.. CFC was giving the 3 points with 3-0 win.
Second game was against Mayovskii 1 which is a MAI team. With most of the other teams alredi played a game.. CFC still very much "tak panas" entering the game. The opponent put up a great game against CFC.. 1st half was kinda unsettling for CFC as the half finished 0-0. CFC started the 2nd half pressuring the opponent and they got their 1st goal thru Sathiya.. and after tat it was an one-way movement..as CFC kept on creating bunch of chances.. and the game ended with 3-0 for the Yellow Guys. Another 3 points and a guaranteed quarter-final placing.
Third game was against our "sparing member", U9. With both team alredi qualified for the next stage, they played a relaxing game but still the game not-short of any entertainment.. good passing and skills from both team.. The dead-lock was broken in the 2nd half by the CFC from a long range attempt by Ganesan which caught Wak, the U9 keeper by suprise.. The game ended with 1-0 for CFC.. both team were seen making jokes and kidding around after the game...
CFC won all 3 group stage game.. collecting 9 points from 3 games.. and scored 7 goals and conceded none.
Quarter-final was against the almighty Mayovskii 2.. the another MAI team.. which caught everyone's attention in the sportzal tat day..when they showed some classy futsal by beating Dru-n-Cons in the Group-Stage. With Faizal the keeper, went to play his basketball event, CFC had to turn to their Captain, Arulkanesh to be in between the post.. again, after the league victory over Saints FC a day b4. Can be said..tat, tis was the real challenge for CFC. The agility and smooth passing of the opponent team reli posed a great treat to CFC. CFC took the lead thru Arul Botak when his shot went pass the keeper and slowly rolled in to the goal. 1-0 to CFC.. The opponent team was sending in the alot of shots knowing that CFC not playing with their proper keeper, sumhow Arulkanesh was able to keep the shots out until one defence error made the MAI guy to put a shot pass the helpless Arulkanesh. 1st half ended with 1-1. The second half started with still Arulkanesh in between the post. Sumhow the MAI guys were able to score the 2nd goal and took the lead. After tat, Arulkanesh exchanged the keeper gloves with Dalvin and moved to play his ever-fav positon, the lastman. New energy injected by the Captain after tat.. as the CFC grabbed back another goal to level the score to 2-2...thanks to Sathiya. Then with couple of minutes to go.. an asist by Arulkanesh to Sathiya resulted in 3rd goal ..as he shot a beautiful goal pass the goal-keeper. With victory just seconds away.. another fatal defence error .. caused CFC the victory as the opponent scored 1 more to level the game at 3-3 and the game ended with 3-3. With no extra time played, the match went straight to penalty-kick but tis time CFC got their much awaited boost as their keeper, Faizal was just in time for the penalty shoot out. Dalvin scored coolly the 1st penalty.. and Brahma too confidently slot passed the keeper.. but unfortunately Updesh failed to convert his spot kick. With 3 kicks taken..both teams were tied at 2-2 in the penalty and it went to the sudden-death penalty. Faizal superbly saved MAI's first spot kick which leave CFC just need to score to advance to Semi-final. Arul Botak stepped up and put the ball in the net.. and the game ended with 3-3 ( 3-2 in penalty) The victory was truthly belongs to all the M2 ppl who supported CFC thru out the match. M2 forever.. !!!
Semi-finals was between Zibom FC from M1. The game was controlled mostly by CFC and the game ended with 3-0 and not to forget a superb goal by the Arul Botak who scored with a superb header from Dalvin's cross... might have been the goal of the tournament. Heheh...
Final was again with U9.. the 1st and 2nd from Group C advanced all they way to the final showdown. They took picture together b4 the match started. Both teams were too kind-hearted as both Captains were offering each other the kick-off.. until the ref interfered and gave U-9 the kick-off. The game was fast paced.. with U9's two mighty player maker... Suzuan and Shahrul Azreen showed some good pace and tested CFC's keeper Faizal couple of times.. and they were the 1st to break the deadlock when they slot one pass our keeper.. who was keeping a cleen sheet until at tat moment. Arulkanesh was urging his player to show more commitment into the game.. and being the Captain.. again he assisted another passing to
Sathiya which he put into the net with confident. 1st hald ended with 1-1 . 2nd half started with CFC started to pick-up their own rhythm... and U9 guys were showing sign of tiredness..as they had less time to rest b4 the Finals. Brahma.. who didnt score till then.. finally scored the 2nd goal for CFC.. and with tat goal... CFC's players were brimming with confidence of winning the match. With couple of minutes to go.. Arulkanesh dribbled the ball deep from his side into the U9''s half and passed the ball to Arul Botak who slide-poked the ball into the net and 3-1 was the score. As soon as the final whistle was blown.. CFC players and all the supporters were in cloud nine. It was their first Cup win after last won the 1st RFL League in 2007. The happiest man at tat time without no doubt, was the Captain, Arulkanesh.. who was very satisfied with how all his guys played the game and how they showed a team-game to win the tournament, even thou he was little sad because dint even score a single goal... hahahaha :P
Overall.. CFC won all 6 games.. scored 16 goals and conceded 4 goals. All the players.. Arul Botak, Brahma, Updesh, Ganesan and Sathiya scored and the top scorer was Sathiya with 6 goal in his pocket... oni Arulkanesh and Dalvin dint join the scorers list as they were busy keeping the defence tight... heheh... just a word of consolation for their short-coming in scoring goal.. :P
Not to forget ... our most sincere thanks to all the M2 supporters who supported us all the way.. we are nothing without all of u ... Thanks M2..
No team can win in our soil except M2 team.. :)
CONGRATZ CHITTAPA FC...
