Maestro were unlucky to have conceded soft goals.

Match Highlights by Lil Eric
Maestro FC 1 : 5 Ironfield Utd (Jinde)

1. Starting line-up:
Johnny, Howard, Chris, Norris,Walter, August, Hakim, Gerald, Abhi, Kartik, Guo Xian.

2. Scorching sun causes fatigue to some of the Maestro's players although the turnout was reasonably good.

3. Maestro conceded their first goal via a goalmouth scramble when the defense failed to clear the ball of the line.

4. Jinde bring the scoreline to one a piece when he coolly scored from an indirect free kick inside the opponent's penalty box after the referee blow for a high boot challenge.

5. Ironfield then took the lead when one of their player lobbed the ball over Johnny.

6. The scoreline was stretched to 3-1 in favour of Ironfield when their player intercepted the ball from Gerald and unleashed a shot pass the outstretch Johnny.

7. With the clock ticking down for half-time, the fourth goal was soon conceded when there was a miscommunication between Norris and Johnny which ended up with Norris heading the ball into the back of its own net. The scoreline reads 4-1 in favour of Ironfield.

8. The message at half time from Guo Xian is to switch to a more attacking formation. Maestro, the comeback kings certainly felt that they could come back as Ironfield wasn't a strong team and the goals conceded were unlucky. Guo Xian decided to switched to a 4-1-3-2 formation as MFC needed goals to reduce the scoreline.

9. Second half line-up:
Johnny, Kartik, Zen, Chris, Norris, Hanwei, Jinde, Guo Xian, Hakim, Dino, Dino's friend.

10. MFC was dealt with another blow when they conceded a controversial goal which this writer believe that it was score through a side netting. The assistant referee(who as usual spotted a blur blur look throughout the entire match) awarded the goal to the opponent.

11. Match ended 5-1 in favour of Ironfield. MFC remain in 6th position on the table above USSR after they suffered a disgraceful 8-0 defeat at the hands of Primero FC.
