16th June: Friendly Match Against China Team

Swarovski 3 - 2 China


Swarovski beat China with five-goal thriller.

Swarovski continued the unbeaten streak as on loan striker Raymond scored a late goal to seal a controversial 3-2 win at competitor on Saturday morning.

4 players (Lok, Kim, Raymond and Goalie Percy) had been brought in to the team on a match loan for the Swan and all of them contributed a lot to the team. With the on loan players - Lok and Kim, they definitely improved both in offense and defense to the squad.

China Team went ahead with a fast break after only 20 minutes from the start.This has wrecked the Swan defense and offense into 2 parts, the best warning to the home side.

Swarovski, who have now unbeaten for 5 successive games, equalised when Martin Rainer scored from 20 yards just before second-half.

After the break, the China Team pushed forward and they got their reward 5 minutes after later by putting them ahead.

Nevertheless, Swarovski failed to get a goal they craved, they played some good football and displayed a never-say-die attitude. The Swarovski Coach-Player Alan Li made a few crucial tackles which prevented another conceded goal.

Swan almost got an equalised goal with 20 minutes remaining. A mild cross from the corner by Kenneth and Midfielder Ming almost headed in to the left side of the goalie – but this was blocked by our teammate Wilson Cheung. Though he tended to escape for it , the power shot was toooooooo quick to hide.

Nice passing and spirit all got filled up by the Swarovski and it paid in the 80th minutes. Kenneth scored from 18 yards while the China Team played a sloppy clear just outside the penalty box.

Swarovski gained the rhythm of the game and the loan striker – Raymond scored the winning goal just 5 minutes before full time.

This secured the victory for Swarovski over China and the unbeaten run continues.

‘Teamwork is shown during the game and the spirit is high during the game,’ said Lok.

‘We should have won more, we need more shots from the outsides,’ said Alan.

‘Our team getting better and better after games we played, and definitely we have more team work than ever,’ concluded Kenneth.

But the lead lasted just 30 minutes as Convoy captain Gordon Li set up Lok to score his first before half time. The goal was actually went in after the half time whistle but this has to be counted somehow.

'The manner in which we conceded the goal is very disappointing,' added Ernest.

Some changes have been made after the half break and the Swarovski Goalie switched from Angus to Ian. He did make a few descent saves in the first 10 minutes of his performance. In 55 minutes, the Convoy skipper scored from 35 yards volley and the ball went in to the goalie with a no mercy.

"Undoubtly this was a powershot from the other side but we should have not conceded this goal" Admitted Kenneth the Swarovski Goal Hungur.

Sloppy defense appeared to the Swarovski side as they conceded another goal in 10 minutes later. Convoy's Lok score from six yards box due to the ball couldn;t clear out on time.

Swarovski side seems awake after the third goal and all the players were more agressive than ever. Teamwork has shown up with some nice passing. The work get paid off on the 75th minutes, Martin Gattinger passed the defender in the left hand side and he then pass with a low cross to the middle. Convoy;s defender was not able to have a clear and the defender clear the ball to his own goalie. The score turned to Convoy 3 - 2 Swarovski.

The Swarovski side keep putting enormous pressure on the winning side and Martin Rainer should have score on some of the shots. Nevertheless, on the 82th minutes, Swarovski score a fast break goal by Kenneth Wong and earn a very priceless point for the home side.

'We knew we would have to make them work hard for their goals, but we didn't. We made mistakes and got severely punished. 'But that was as well as we have played for a long time going forward. We were excellent.

'In the cold light of a day that point might just be the one that keeps us up.' The Swarovski Goalkeeper Angus Said.

"The ground is so slippery that I couldn;t really handle the ball well enough to the Goal. We could have made it easier on ourselves, but not today. For the neutral it was probably a terrific game. " Said Lok from Convoy.

'We had never won the Convoy, and we did not want to lose today. It's hard to play during this hot hot hot weather and really appreciated on all the participants. At the moment, we are still trying to compose our form and we definitely will play better in the upcoming matches."Said Kenneth
