Just a moment for sports

A collection of interesting moments of sports stories and news

Singapore scores big time at World Cup qualifiers


It has been some time since I want to post about sports scenes. But I was watching Singapore Vs Malaysia today for at the World Cup qualifiers and it was really exciting that I watched on. In the first 30 sec of the match, Malaysia took the opportunity of a missing and slipping header by the defender and shot but was blocked by the goalkeeper. It deflected and the striker shot again and scored this time.

It was really dampened for the Singapore fans as the first goal was put in just 30 sec. But the Singaporeans did not showed any sign of sadness. They pushed on and shortly an equaliser was made by Aleksander Duric, the 40 year old striker when he put in the goal from a nice free kick from his team mate. This striker is fast in his shot and he managed to put in two goals in this match.

When the score was 1-1, a nice and unexpected free kick from the Singapore team made the score to 2-1. Later on, two more goals were put in and all these happened in the first half.

Then a sub player from Malaysia came in and in that instance of few minutes, he scored two goals in! This made the score to be 4-3. The whole match seems to be an on-going exciting scoring period. But Singapore came back with another score to make the win in a convincing style. 5-3 is the final score.

What a nice opening to a World Cup match.
