GA league 1st round
Mandalay United FC’s dream of winning the first 3 points at GA league was faded away after terrific incidents with referee before 5 minutes to the end of the match. This match turned out as MUFC Vs referee than MUFC Vs Popiah Rangers FC. The referee’s decision in this match was very doubtful at the start of the match and it was so obvious that he was not controlling the game with his effort. Throughout the game, he decided wrongly from time to time and the worst is that he did not attempt to stop the serious foul play made by Popiah Rangers FC. Popiah Rangers is the well-organized team with young players and they also seem to be hungry of their first 3 points at GA league. They commit the unintentional foul play to MUFC players which were just being ignored by the referee. They also tried to waste time inside the field by diving and felling to the ground again and again which was also ignored by referee and allow them to treat their teammates in unlimited duration. As MUFC keep its reputation and hold the policy of clean and fair play, MUFC players did well understand the behavior of popiah rangers players for taking advantage from the poor management of referee. However their silent patience bust out 5 minutes before the end of game and ended with violent manners to the referee. This incident cost them 2 red cards to the two important players.
Although there are excuses for poor management of referee, diving and trick done by opponent, all MUFC’s players were still under performance to make the first 3 points. The first goal was from the miscommunication between defenders while they are trying to do the offside trap. Second goal was clear header from corner kick while MUFC player failed to mark the popiah ranger’s striker. The third goal was from free kick in which the ball slip from the hand of MUFC keeper’s Si Thu.
MUFC seem to require the maturity and calmness to play the league match since they played impressively at their previous friend match against Ocean 15 FC. Whatever the situation such as poor pitch condition, very strong opponent, tricky opponent, poor referee and league pressure, it is time for MUFC to overcome all sort of excuses and start finding the first 3 points at GA league.
MUFC will be playing against with Tuas Soccerities at 1st of August ,Pioneer Secondary School.

Mandalay United FC 4-4 Ocean 15 FC
Date: 11-July-2010
Time: 05:00 PM
Location: Orchid Park Secondary School, Yishun
Mandalay United FC proved that their new formation and lineup could work out in GA league. Mandalay Utd started its line up base on 4-3-2-1 with the new central defender Ye Lynn Htun together with Nay Myat. MUFC showed up its better defensive in today than other matches but still need to address the defensive error which allowed 4 goals to opponent. MUFC fan raised their voice that if MUFC control the attacking mind of central defender Nay Myat and reduce the mistakes made by Ko Min Naing, MUFC defence line will be completely perfect.
The new central defender Ye Lynn Htun showed his defensive skills outstandingly although he played first time as central defender for MUFC. MUFC midfield was filled with Ko Nge Lay, Ye Gyi and Zaw Htet Aung. The play maker Ko Nge Lay’s stunning performance to control the game was successful and MUFC possess almost 60% of the ball at first half. Ocean 15 first get their goal at 10 minutes of the first half from air kick by Japanese player from 18 meters of the goal. The shot was too precise to go to the right upper corner of the goal which made Si Thu unable to deflect the ball. The second goal by Ocean 15 FC was conceded from low cross ball at right wing by tackling Aung Thura and Zaw Htet Aung. Si thu did not get the right direction of the ball which was reached to Ocean 15 striker. That was 2-0 lead by Ocean 15. There were few opportunities for MUFC to equalize at first half. Ze Yar’s tackling skills was more fantastic in astro turf field and he got opportunity to equalize at 25 minutes of the first half. After he tackled the last defender of Ocean 15, he seemed to get the party mode to score the goal. The ball rattled to the bar and loses the chance for MUFC to equalize. The shots by Ye Gyi, Yin Aung and Zarni also did not help for MUFC to equalize as the shots were over the bars and straight to goal keeper. At 35 minutes of the first half, Yin Aung create space himself at 6 meter of the goal and receive the unselfish pass by Zarni which make first equalizing goal for MUFC.
MUFC player’s stamina was quite doubtful for league competition as they started their second half very differently from first half. Ko Min Naing, Aung Thura looked tired and the whole tempo of MUFC was slow down. By taking that opportunity, Ocean 15 scored their third and fourth goal at 55 minutes and 65 minutes. The third goal was air dive header by Ocean 15 striker from the cross ball and the fourth goal was close shot from 6 meter. MUFC regained its tempo only at 75 minutes after Ze Yar scored from 20 meters to the left upper corner of the Ocean 15 goal. That goal was most beautiful goal of the game and even Ocean 15 players cheered for it. MUFC kept attacking Ocean 15 FC by controlling the ball until last minute. At 80 minutes, Yin Aung scored his second goal from accurate cross pass by Ko Soe Aung. At 85 minutes, Ye Gyi shot the ball from the quick corner pass by Yin Aung. The ball deflected from goal keeper and Zarni made the final equalizing goal for MUFC.
MUFC’s overall performance was satisfactory except allowing 4 goals to opponent. However the total control of the game was by MUFC in this match which made all MUFC player to have strong confidence for upcoming GA league match with Puerto Junior FC. MUFC will be playing Puerto Junior FC at 18th July Sunday 5 PM and all MUFC players are hungry of their first winning match in GA league.

YV United FC 9-1 Mandalay United FC
Location: Pioneer Secondary School
Date: 04-06-2010
Time: 4:30
The first ever league game of Mandalay United was ended with huge defeat. YV United controlled the game for the entire match and proved that Mandalay Utd was no match for them yet. This embarrassing result questioned to all Mandalay Utd players, managers and coach that whether there are rooms for MUFC to improve in the GA league.
The first goal from YV united started at 3 minutes of the game by shooting from 15 meters by taking the huge gap between MUFC defenders and midfielders. YV united strikers’ stunning performance was able to break the MUFC defensive lines easily and they took every opportunities from mistakes of MUFC defenders. The first half ended with 3-0 including one penalty awarded to YV united.
There was a glare of hope for MUFC to equalize at second half after Zarni scored the only goal of MUFC at 50 minutes However, MUFC hope was faded away after YV united scored their 4th and 5th goal continuously within 5 minutes. YV united did not slow down their tempo although they led with 6-1 to MUFC. They scored another 4 goals at the remaining minutes and make their great victory over MUFC at their first game of goal arena league. The whole second half was total disaster for MUFC with plenty of mistakes from all players and goal keepers while YV players were skillful enough to make the goal from every opportunities.
There were a lot of questions left for MUFC after ended with embarrassing results. Although YV united was better in stamina, strength, speed and skills, MUFC should have prepared to minimize the losses. YV united players were average 25 years old while MUFC average age is 31 which showed a lot difference between two teams. However age different would be small matter if MUFC turn again with its peak form with minimal mistakes.
The only outstanding player in this match was kyauke lone who just join to MUFC and played for only 3 matches. That give a glimpse to MUFC that he might build up the strong defense lines for MUFC from scratch. There are also question to MUFC tactical team led by ko Soe Aung and Nay Myat how to adjust the formation and lineup according to the opponents for necessary changes.
