Leaders emerge as Bedok Reservoir and Sedap maintain perfect starts

Week 2 of Season 17 in the X-League Sunday Premier League delivered another action packed round in Division 3. There are eight teams in the division. Six teams were in action this week, including newcomers FC Elitez and Clementi FC, as the early table began to take shape. FC Vastatores bounced back in emphatic fashion after their opening day defeat with a commanding 7-1 victory over Kiddos Super Subs at Clementi Town Secondary School. Vastatores set the tempo early and went into the break two goals to the good thanks to strikes from Muhammad Haikal Azri and Effendi Elias. The second half turned into a one sided affair as Vastatores carved open the Kiddos defence at will. Syazwan Sharudin, Juraimi Mohamed, and a second from Muhammad Haikal Azri added to the scoreline as they ran out convincing winners. It was a ruthless attacking display and a strong response after their Week 1 setback. Elsewhere, Bedok Reservoir Punggol CSN continued their impressive run with a dominant 4-0 win over Clementi FC. Goals from Man of the Match Syabil Hidi, Christian Gabriel, Bryan Sim, and Irfan Shah capped off a controlled performance. Clementi found themselves 2-0 down at half time and faced an uphill task. Their hopes of a comeback took a further blow after a red card early in the second half, allowing Bedok Reservoir to dictate play and see out the game comfortably. In the final fixture, Sedap FC made it two wins from two with a solid 4-2 victory over newcomers FC Elitez. Sean Dias, Gerald Kingsley, Ryan Emmanuel Pereira, and Nazery Zain were all on the scoresheet in a fluid attacking performance. Elitez showed glimpses of promise going forward but were ultimately undone by Sedap’s cutting edge in the final third. With two wins from two, both Sedap FC and Bedok Reservoir Punggol CSN sit level on points at the summit of Division 3. The chasing pack will be looking to respond quickly as the competition begins to gather pace.
