Mandalay United FC 0-3 Jurong East Central
5 minutes start of the game and fatal error occurred to MUFC which was embarrassed own goal by MUFC left defender. It was very abnormal of own goal as most of the own goals seen at the matches were either opponent is pressuring or deflecting the ball. However this own goal was plain speedy closed shoot as if came from Jurong East central striker. MUFC coach should have reminded players at MUFC to show their performance as they have it and not to do any risky public stunt to earn applaud from crowd. However MUFC’s start was embarrassing with that own goal while opponent laugh and looked at MUFC players with weird eyes and wondering if they really know how to play football. Second goal was very fortunate goal by Jurong East Central with a deflect kick by J east central striker and went straight to the ace of MUFC goal.
Third goal was from free kick by J east central which was quite curvy and new replacement goal keeper zarni was unable to prevent it. MUFC striker Zarni is serving his best to MUFC while 3 keepers from MUFC were not available. His safe from all corner kicks and long shoot kicks were quite stunning which help a lot MUFC not to give more than 3 goals. Overall MUFC performance and formation was satisfactory since the new lineup structured by Ko Soe Aung helped MUFC to gain more possession at this match than others.
Anyway MUFC will be keep marching until end of the league with these comrades while some are very strong and some are very weak in terms of stamina, skill and strength. No matter what the situation, MUFC will never change it’s objective of 50% enjoy the game and 50% to win the game.

Mandalay United FC Vs FC Cosmos
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.

Mandalay Seek victory at first match of GA season 2
Mandalay United 4-3 Black Knight FC
10' Naing Soe Thein
20' Ye Min Win (P)
50' Ye Lynn Htun
70' soe Thu
Date: 27-Feb-2011
Location: Clementi Town Secondary School
MUFC regained its confidence and momentum after 111 days from the last winning match at GA league. First match of GA league second season against with Black Knight FC proved that formation and lineup being tested by Coach Ko Soe Aung actually seem to be working although there are some flaws which need to be addressed. MUFC start its formation with 3-1-3-2-1 which was successful in the match against with Azhar United FC at earlier of this month. Though not a brutal decision, putting injury player captain Ko Nge Lay as key player of the team was a quite a risky stunt by Coach Ko Soe Aung. Captain didn’t seem to be fit enough during first half but his play was dramatically changed during second half as the team gathered high momentum along with him. Not a surprise, he earned man of the match title of this match by controlling the entire match with his skills and motivated spirits. On the other hand, MUFC dependency on captain could possibly become huge blow when he is injured and out for play. Not only Captain , MUFC found the other outstanding players in this match. Striker NaingSoeThein was remarkably outstanding in this match by putting his best effort for MUFC 1st and 2nd Equalizer goals. The other young player ZawHtetAung also proved his best skill and showed to all that he is the promising player for new MUFC defense line. SoeThu’s performance was totally stunning when he made the header from 6 meters to the upper angle of blackknight FC goal. He made another classic performance at 75 minutes by shooting the ball nonstop received from his precise chest control. YeLynnHtun’s accurate shot from 18 m let MUFC to lead the match at second half as well.
Overall performance by MUFC was really satisfactory at the first match of the GA season 2 and this momentum is required to be kept through out of the season. Although this match is still not the best MUFC, this match showed that MUFC is still having rooms to improve.
Nevertheless MUFC earned sweet memories at beautiful Sunday evening in Clementi town secondary school.

Mandalay United FC 0-3 Popiah Rangers FC
Time: 4:30
Date: 24th-July-2010
Location: Jurong West Secondary School
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.

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.

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.
