Result: MUFC 1-4 FC Cosmos
Location:Funchuan Secondary School
Date: 07th March 2011
Time: 15:00

This match was the ugliest match in MUFC history as there are only 10 players at the start of the match and 3 injury players have to play although their injuries are not fully recovered yet. The normal 7 players are not available and the rest are not in town. It was very unfortunate for MUFC to play against with FC Cosmos while they don’t have enough players. The reported injury players also did not bother to come and support their teammates while the attendance list was showing recordable low attendance .The motivation and winning spirit collected from the first match of GA league also drained away even before the match. Nevertheless salute to all players who have played for MUFC in this match with their best efforts especially to three injury players, Zarni, Naing Soe Thein and Kyauke Lone.
The Russians based FC cosmos take fully advantage of MUFC weakness and score 2 goals at the first half of the match and another 2 goals at second half of the match. Although MUFC take over the possession during second half, MUFC injury players didn’t manage to make chance to score. Only one penalty outstandingly earned by MUFC veteran Zarni help MUFC not to end with goalless result.
No one is deserved to be blamed on yesterday MUFC’s performance and team work since MUFC tactical team has made the best formation with very limited players and all players also tried their best. However, there is one thing obviously missing in MUFC while all players seem to be frustrated and nervous for not enough players. That is obviously a need that MUFC players need to be cheered up in this type of situations. As a general rule of team, captain is supposed to cheer up the players in every situation but MUFC unable to find its captain at yesterday evening. While captain is not at the field and co-captain is in his injury, no official delegation for captain position was seen at yesterday match.
Although this cheering up thing is not the sole reason for the match results , that would definitely be a thing MUFC should have done.
