Désiré saves the day for Club M!

 

Serangoon Stadium - A double by Désiré was enough to guarantee victory for the dodos in their fifth friendly game of the year. The game turned out to be an experimental one in the first half with Club M adopting a different formation on the pitch and playing some players out of their natural positions.

Derek was given the uphill task of being 'Le Chien' and Bernard played in the right wing position with 3 strikers upfront. After a rather uneventful first half, the captain decided to reshuffle the team and changed formation back to usual. The changes paid off almost instantly at the start of the second half with Désiré scoring with his typical left swinging shot inside the penalty area.

The opposition never recovered from this early goal in the second half and were under constant pressure by the dodos. The second goal was somehow scored from a similar position and with yet another curling shot by Désiré. Ashvin had a great chance to score late in the match when he tried to lob the keeper, only to see his 'Owen-like' curling shot hit against the post.
