For the
record the Woodlands won 1-0, thanks to an 82nd minute
winner from Rams’ captain Akihiro Nakamura, but chances had fallen
to both sides, especially in a second half that was played at a
higher intensity than the first.
By all
accounts the Dalian outfit that we saw in this match is not the
full team that will face off in the S.League, once we get down to
business after the 18th of this month.
It was a
relatively young side, captained by central midfielder Lu Peng, who
will take the armband even after a number of more senior players
arrive from China later this month.
