30th June: Friendly Match Against Oregon Scientific

Swarovski 5 - 0 Oregon Scientific

Swarovski humilated Oregon Scientific with a 5-0 mauling, in the first meeting between those 2 teams, held last Saturday morning, at the Shun Li Football Field.

The Swarovski goals were scored by Martin Gattinger, Martin Rainer, Ernest Kwok and Kenneth Wong.

Oregon missed the opportunity of opening the score on first 20 minutes, after loan striker Wilson Cheung shot from short range, striking the ball too lightly to the right of keeper Angus Wong, who made the save with ease.

This fright set the Swan into action and they began to pile the pressure on the Oregonians. As a result of this change, Martin Gattinger managed to take the lead after being teed up.

This was the first goal of the Austrian Striker but the goal did not change the attitude of the Swan, who continued to set a slow pace in midfield, despite the efforts of Ernest, the only player to try his luck against the Oregon goal.

The Swan began in top speed, midfield Kenneth grabbed a brace to make it 2-0.

The Swan tried to hit back playing deep, but left gaps behind for their opponents, who played on the counter. That was how Martin Rainer claimed his goal by beating the Goalie 1-on-1.

The Paraguayans made the most of their indecision to add a fourth with Kenneth Wong, on 60 minutes. Ernest Kwok closed the scoring 10 minutes before the end of the match to make it 5-nil.

Everyone commited well and gave their best to the team, especailly the coach-player Alan dominant the defense line with Ho, Kwan, OK Man and Tak. Teamwork is shown during the game and this each with accurate passing and tight defense.

Roman's debut also boomed the offense side of the Swan.
