In floorball, every single second can make a huge difference. In this game 1 single second gave a team all 2 points.
Going on against Minden Unihawks was surely a very even and tough match for the 8cers. With both team having speedy players, it was all up to the more experience players to make the difference. Talking about experience, Unihawks surely have the upper hand with a few national and state players in the team.
The game started off with 8cers pushing for the early goal and was rewarded with Samuel Ong grabbing the 1st goal. After that moment of joy the game went pretty slow with both goalkeepers having not much to do. However, Minden Unihawks did equalized right before the break making the scoreline 1-1.
2nd period saw Minden Unihawks scoring 1 goal through a penalty before Allen Goh of Ztec hit 1 back for 8cers. However, it was Unihawks who had the better of the 2nd period scoring to end the period 3-2 in favour of Unihawks.
3nd period saw John Chia Shen scoring from half way line due to some goalkeeping error. With the game at 3-3 both teams were eager to score to next goal. However it was Minden who did the scoring. Not one, not two but 3 goals. In a blink of an eye, Minden were leading by 6-3. 8cers called for a time out and after words of encouragement and a change of strategy the catching up began.
Andy Goh scored 2 goals before captain Samuel hit the equalizer with a nice team play after receiving the final pass from Norman. With confidence rising, 8cers was desperate for the win. Attacks after attacks, Unihawks manage to hold a strong defending wall. With 4 seconds left on the clock, John Chia Shen intercepted a pass, dribble a player a calmly slotted in the winning goal with 1 second left to play. It all happened just like in those sports movies we watched.
An important lesson learn by both teams and surely everyone in floorball. Do not give up until the last second for every second in floorball counts! Next up, how will 8cers deal against the mighty Ztec Phoenix?
