Reports of a long dry season in the horizon did not dampen the mood and enthusiasm of 13 Pasar players to turn-up for their final preparation before facing Damansara United FC on the 16th May 2009 for a friendly match. Long spells of sunshine had dried up the pitch and provided a great challenge for the players.

 

Despite knowing and expecting the heat to descend on the field, few players brought along liquids to ensure that they were not dehydrated. A habit that is normal for Pasar players which could prove deadly for any other ordinary players.

 

Teams Man-U and Barca were created, and a dress rehearsal 'the Pasar way' for the Champions League final later this month was on! Barca was captained by 'Izzad Messy' and Manu by 'Ajis Scoreholes' and the game got on. It was a cagey affair earlier on as both teams tried to find their feet on a dry hard pitch. Ball bounced higher due to the harder pitch which proved tough for Barca who preferred to play with the ball on the ground. Suspicions of foul play by the host as Barca claimed that the pitch was not watered properly before the game.

 

Man-U began to take control of the game due to the inability for Barca to keep possession. With the likes of Ajis, Adi, Ajim, Aya and Assbu providing attacking threat with some fine, flowing moves which rattled Barca's goal. Barca's goal literally broke into pieces by the shear force of Man-U's attacking threat. Man-U's persistence eventually paid off with a stunning goal by Ajis, his stunning shot got through amidst a few Barca players and somehow managed to find the goal. 1-0 for Man-U!

 

Barca players regained their composure and tried to string some passes and tried to keep possession. With the likes of Capang, Mie Kelantan, Izani, Boboq and Shameer, they provided some attacking threat which was marshalled well by Grobbller in Man-U's defence. Barca's dominance kept increasing and limited Man-U to only counter attacks. Barca's backline was covered well with great work by Rijal and Ah Chong. The pace of the game kept going down as both sets of players seems to be lacking of stamina and energy.

 

With both teams looking for goals, and time running out, the ability to neutralise the attacks with some great defending was key to this match. Ajis's only goal for the day proved to be the decider in an evenly contested match. Man-U won it by 1-0. This dress rehearsal could come true come the real matchday maybe??

 

Man of the Match – Ajis – This Liverpool fan’s goal proved the outcome of an evenly contested match.

Moments of the Match - Barca's goal exploded into 2 pieces with one of Man-U's attacks.
