Perak took on Penang in Futsal the opening game of the 2011 games.
Perak had only 7 players to start with and of the 7 - 5 were veteran football players. Our starting line up was Kenny (GK), Nahtan, Kiko, Elanggovan, Fuaad, Fey Aqis, Nicky. With no subs till halfway through the 1st 3rd.
Penang had almost 20 players to have an abundant number of running subs.
Perak drew first blood and scored first in the first 3rd of the game with a poachers goal by Elanggovan. Penang managed to equalise but Perak just managed to edge back in front just before the first 3rd finished with wonderful goal by Nicky Chen from an acute angle.
Penang took the reins in the 2nd 3rd and managed to equalise at 2-2. But before the Penang team could settle down, Kiko popped up and scored a goal with the flick of his foot after chasing down a through pass to take us to 3-2.
From then on Perak kept control of the game and the midfield to deny the Penang players time on the ball. Whilst the 2 chambees ran them haggard chasing every ball down.
Remi, one of the chambees took control of the through pass by Kiko in the final 3rd to score the 4th goal and ensured that Perak took the first point and took home the Thinakaran Futsal Throphy in memory of the late Thinakaran who left us suddenly 3 years ago.
Well done Futsal team! Well done Perak Bar. Maybe we had an "extra man" as we felt the presence of Thina's spirit with us defending the Perak Bar Goal!
