FAJAR YOUNGSTERS AND PACEY BLINDERS SHARE THE SPOILS IN AN EIGHT-GOAL EPIC

Week 3 of the Sunday Premier League Season 17 served up a single Division 2 fixture as most sides observed their Block Out dates in October. Out of the nine teams in the division, only two were in action, yet they produced a riveting contest that had the lot. Fajar Youngsters faced Pacey Blinders FC in a meeting between last season’s fourth-placed side on goal difference and a team that finished sixth with an even goals record for and against. From the outset, the tempo was electric and chances arrived in flurries. Pacey Blinders struck first through Hilman Zahid and then doubled their advantage when Guan Yuan finished smartly inside the opening ten minutes. Fajar needed a response and found one just after the half-hour mark, with Khairuddin Sharif guiding a composed effort into the corner to make it 2-1 to Pacey at the interval. The restart brought another twist. Barely a minute into the second half, Hasan Dailami levelled matters with a crisp finish. Three minutes later, he was at it again, timing his run perfectly before tucking away his second to swing the match in Fajar’s favour. When a Pacey Blinders own goal arrived in the sixty-fifth minute, Fajar moved 4-2 ahead and looked set to close it out. Pacey had other ideas. Straight from the kick-off, Khaw Relph halved the deficit with a clinical strike to set up a grandstand finish. Deep into regulation time, Si Han (also known as Bobby) popped up with a dramatic equaliser to make it 4-4 and send the touchline into raptures. It was pure social footballing bliss, full of momentum swings, individual quality, and no little grit. Standout performers included Hasan Dailami and Salihin Slamat for Fajar Youngsters, while Khaw Relph and Brian Le Minh impressed for Pacey Blinders. With only two of nine teams featuring this week, the table will take time to settle, but on this evidence, both sides have the weapons to trouble anyone.
