Matansa Football Club recovered from a so-so performance in the first two weeks of the 2012 NMIFA Men’s Spring League after clobbering Shirley’s FC, 7-1, last Sunday at the Oleai Sports Complex Field.<\/p>\n

Matansa, which had a draw and loss in its first two matches, drew a hat-trick from Dhiraj Chhetri to prevail in the battle of winless teams. Shirley’s absorbed its third loss in as many games.<\/p>\n

Aji Mandampala, Rangit Bairagi, and Kamrul contributed one goal apiece and Matansa got a goal off Shirley’s error late in the first half for a 5-1 lead at the break. Taro Goto nailed Shirley’s only goal in the match at the 12:33 mark, cutting Matansa’s lead to two, 1-3. Mandampala, Bairagi, and Chhetri scored the first three goals for Matansa and the latter added one more past the halfway mark of the first half.<\/p>\n

KFAS 3, SKY 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the second game at the Oleai pitch, Korean Football Association on Saipan and SKY engaged in a draw.<\/p>\n

Young Ha Hwang and Guang Lin Li scored in the 17th and 21st minute, respectively to power SKY to a 2-0 halftime lead. However, SKY collapsed defensively in the second half, allowing KFAS to force a draw late in the game off Dae Min Jeon’s hat-trick<\/p>\n

Jeon broke KFAS’ long silence with his goal in the 85th minute. He made another one two minutes later to equalize and then nailed his third goal a minute later to put KFAS in the lead.<\/p>\n

Then one minute before the match ended, Hang Guo Piao saved SKY as he scored the game-tying goal.<\/p>\n

With the draw, KFAS and SKY remained winless with the former having two draws and one loss and the latter earning one draw and a defeat.<\/p>\n

Wild Bill’s 1, Inter Godfather’s 0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the third game, Wild Bill’s gained a share of the lead with Tan Holdings (2-0-0 win-draw-loss record) after outclassing Inter Godfather’s.<\/p>\n

Adul Detdon posted the lone goal in the game in the 21st minute to keep Inter winless in three matches. Inter’s first two games resulted in draws.<\/p>\n

Tan Holdings 3, Shirley’s FC 0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tan Holdings notched its second win in as many games after shutting out Shirley’s FC on March 21.<\/p>\n

Panapa Peteru made twin goals for the co-leading team, while Jersh Angeles added one.<\/p>\n

While Tan Holdings’ record is still undefeated in two games, Shirley’s has yet to win after three assignments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
