La Noon travelled to Badaruddin to take on Panda 13 in a warm-up fixture to keep up their fitness level prior to Sunday Playoff clash against Golong FC. La Noon was without Kerol, Bob, Budi and the rest through unexpected events, leaving a bare 13 players available.
La Noon created an early chance when Yusuf found space outside the box, made a curling shot but to be parried away by the goalkeeper. The new look back four looked comfortable in the early stages with Lann and Hazwan at the helm communicating well and dealing with everything they had to. Joe was also looked comfortable making some good early tackles and distributing the ball well.
On 14 minutes La Noon took the lead when a through pass was delivered by Alex and Maw was on hand to kick home from 10 yards. Quite a blast! Panda 13 FC 0-1 La Noon
La Noon continued their offensive approach and Pejul nearly scored when his shot from 25 yards was well saved, by the goal post. On 27 minutes Lann picked the ball up and beat the centre back to the ball and attempted a lob-kick only to hit the goal post again. What a day for La Noon Players.
HALF TIME: Panda 13 FC 0 La Noon FC 1
The White Skull continued early in the second half to get a second goal but lacked the killer pass and finish. Ameer was performing well all over the pitch and winning numerous battles in the air both defensively and in the middle of the park to relieve the pressure on the defence. Panda 13 pushed hard for an equaliser but Totoi and Fafi made good interceptions and Hazwan was on hand numerous times to sweep everything up infront of them.
Minutes later a rare blistering pace of centre back Hazwan has beaten the offside trap and continued to dribble the ball and have a shot, only to hit the goal post but the reflective ball was to be met by our natural goal-scorer Alex, tapped in the reflected ball to make it 2-0. La Noon 2-0 Panda 13.
La Noon come out knowing another goal could kill the game off and went close when Dzulhusni managed to beat the last defender and had a clear chance to score but he opted to dribble a little bit more and finally shoot, but at that time the goalkepper has already recovered and managed to pull a save.
When Panda 13 won a free kick just outside of the box, the goalkeeper Lafique has made a smiling gesture, probably relishing this opportunity and challenged his magnificient goalkeeping skill. The ball has flew passed our wall, but Lafique undoubtedly has produced a good job. His superman-like save, coolly flying across to his left and keep out the ball was staggering!
Just on the last stages of full time, Dzulhusni made a good run and was spotted out by Joe with his excellent through pass , Dzulhusni kicked across the keeper into the bottom right hand corner to give La Noon a deserved victory of 3-0.
