"Orange vs The World(tm)". ==> Round 2 - Part 3

2nd Half (30mins)

Orange - 3
The World(tm) - 3 (Sid hat-trick)

Bogged by the unjustified 1st half score-line, The World(tm) started 2nd half with utmost conviction, determined to breach Orange's solid shell of defence. And they were duly rewarded shortly after the interval
siyong, well-rested during the break, decided to leave his flanking duties, cut into the center and manage to break into quite a decent run. he managed to pull off a shot on target at the end of his run which was blocked by Orange's keeper. However the shot could only be parried to Sid, who slot it home from close range. Orange's defence finally conceded, 1-0 to The World(tm).
Inspired by their opener, The World(tm) managed to make it 2-0 a few minutes later. It was Sid who made a maze-y run this time, scoring his 2nd goal of the night. but Orange didnt take it lying down, and manage to pull a goal back through a controversial penalty.
in what seems to be a rather harmless pass into The World(tm)'s goal area, Ben managed to claim a foul off The World(tm)'s defence. The ball was said to be heading goal-wise b4 illegal obstrcution from The World(tm) and a penalty was awarded to Orange. Ben made no mistake from the spot-hit, making it 2-1
However, The World(tm)'s 2 goal lead was restored almost immediately, with Sid reacting quickly and completing his hat-tick b4 Orange could re-organise. His low-shot beat the keeper from long-range in what seems to be the best individual effort of the game
the game then lit up again, with Orange orchestrating an amazing come-back. Exploiting The World(tm)'s Loop-holes once again, long balls were played to Orange Kailun, who repeatedly manage to better The World(tm)'s tired defence. This forced The World(tm) to be on the back-pedal, unable to play their usual style of fluid, attacking play, aka Sambal style. This smart tactical move turn the game in Orange's favour again, with them scoring 2 more goal in quick succession, forcing the score into a tie.
exhausted from 2 intensive halves of 30 mins, The World(tm) is unable to get back into their sambal mood again, and so the score-line stood. 3-3 when the final whistle was blown, signalling the end of yet another cut-throat battle.
And then there was darkness... Total oblivion... a clear indication of the whats to come for "Orange vs The World(tm)". ==> Round 3...
someone better treat me to teh-bing...
