On the 18th of March, my friend Jim and I went to the Jalan Besar stadium to catch a Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League match between our very own Singapore Armed Forces FC and K-league champions Suwon Bluewings(Korea).
A controversial handball in the 65th minute by Daniel Bennett (SAFFC, #16) gave Suwon Bluewings a penalty with Brazilian striker Eduardo Goncalves (Suwon, #9 & eventual Man of the Match) converting from the spot with ease. He struck home again six minutes later when he successfully bamboozled past SAFFC’s Kenjia Arai (SAFFC, #3) and Ahmad Latiff (#7) to fire off a shot into the roof of the net.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy:

Good weather on the 18th, unfortunately that didn't help SAFFC much...
The pitch looks tempting...
The teams get ready before the 9000+ strong crowd
And here we have our spirited SAFFC team for a little team-talk to calm the nerves.Below are some pictures of the match. There aren't many because I was focusing on the match.
Well. thanks for viewing and good night. Perhaps I'll do more on the match some other day.

My church friends actually asked me to go with them and the ticket was only 2 dollars but I had some work to finish and sadly, I could not go. It is even more sad that Singapore Armed Forces lost. Although I am not a supporter of that club(I support their rival, Home United), I would still support it as it represents Singapore in this competition
