Team Report
Lionheart FC made the best of starts to the new Xleague season by beating Vipers FC 2-0 in our first game of the season.
An early own goal gifted Lionheart the lead, when the Viper's defender pass the ball into his own net after a miscomm with his keeper.
Soon after, Joseph chested down a high ball with perfection and made a brilliant thru ball to Qamarul, whom made no mistake placing it into the the goal past the keeper.
2-0 is the scoreline at the break.
The 2nd half markedly highlighted by 2 penalties kicks given against us. The first penalty was a brilliant diving save by Haikal to his right. He saved the 2nd penalty with an outstretched leg; but was called to be retaken for infringements; the opponent blasted ball wide for the retake. The stars are aligned for the Lions.
The game carried on with equal chances on both sides, but no more goals are added to the scoreline.
And with that, Lionheart FC scored our first victory of the season; and only our 2nd competitive victory in our short history.
Hopefully this will make the start of a great season ahead! Forza Lionheart!
