Asean Football Championship 2007
Penalty Thriller
A crucial save by Lionel Lewis on the last penalty take, sent
Singapore into the finals at last.
A crowd of 55,000 fans were jumping with arms aloft and screaming,
at the top of their lungs to create the Great Kallang Roar. Ridhuan
much needed rebound goal kept the spirits up at the National
Stadium when Singapore was 1 Nil down against arc rivals, Malaysia.
For a moment, I thought the Malaysia Cup was back. Precious long
shot almost gave Singapore the lead, before full time but was well
saved, by the Malaysian keeper. What can I say, Singapore, the
nation we love, is finally into the finals.
The first leg of the finals will be played in Singapore on
Wednesday, tickets will be sold at Jalan Besar, selected stadiums
and selected Singapore Pools locations from, 9am 5pm. So give
Singapore that crucial support, before the Ancient Kallang Stadium
is demolished, to make way for a new stadium. This is a last call
to pack the stadium, even though it is on a Wednesday.
Let us defend what is rightfully ours, the right to be the 12th
player, in the Singapore squad.
