Matchday 5 : The Throne of Petra (6-7 March)

Matchday 5: The Throne of Petra promises intense neck-to-neck action the race to the finish is far from over. Bank Rakyat leads the pack with 9 points. Followed by Petra Giants and Axis FC differed only by goal differences. Crobox FC is still enthusiastic to get their first point of the league. This week's battle could be decisive for them as another defeat could spell the end of their PIFL journey. 

Axis vs Bank Rakyat

This one should be another classic as both teams are battling for the top of PIFL whereas a win could see one of them rule the league after Matchday 5. Bank Rakyat is currently the best team in defensive area with only 6 goals conceded. On the other hand, Axis FC are more menacing since the arrival of their ex-Felda United striker.

Petra Giants vs Crobox

The Giants may won an epic battle against LHDN last week, but Crobox will surely going gung-ho this week as they are desperate for a win in this Matchday. However, Petra Giants are the highest scoring team, period, and Crobox FC currently holds the worst defence conceding 18 goals. On form Giants midfielder, O'ol Abdillah should be a threat to Crobox FC. Can Crobox FC cope with the Giant's ability? Will they steal any point from this week's Matchday.

Orenergy vs Masja FC

SESCO Orenergy is placed just above Masja FC in the PIFL table. The Orange are slowly gaining their form  from their last week's pleasant win against Crobox, 5-3. Masja FC had a good match in Matchday 4 against Axis FC although losing by a one-goal margin, 2-1. The lack of finishing skills at the end of the field was probably the reason why they lose the game. Will Masja FC improvise their attacks or otherwise? Or will the Orange repeat last week's convincing gameplay?

X-Thomian vs LHDN

X-Thomian suffered a heartbreaking lost to Bank Rakyat last week in a controversial head-to-head matchup. X-Thomian clearly having problems handling crosses from the opponent's wingers. LHDN gave Petra Giants a good fight last week. LHDN's capability to utilize counter-attacks should be a headache for X-Thomian's coach. This encounter should be your entertainment this Sunday.

PIFL This Week : Mystery of 'Lanyek'

In the game of LHDN a.k.a Income Tax versus Petra Giants, there was a moment of hilarious event as the referee stopped the match because a swarm of 'lanyek@flower bees" was passing through Padang C. The referee immediately asked the players from both teams to duck for cover. 

What's funnier was some players who didn't see the passing swarm of lanyek just follow the referee's instruction and dive to ground with blurry faces like there was a bomb explosion going on at that moment..See? The referee protects the players bah....hahaha!!..

What remains a mystery, the game was tied 3-3 at that time, few minutes after the lanyek incident, Petra Giants scored a pivotal goal and another one to win the match.

PIFL This Week : Adoh Adoh Ref...

Adoh Adoh Ref.....

Referees and officials have always been playing the guilty party in football nowadays. For example, Phil Dowd was accused of causing Aston Villa losing to Manchester United in the Carling Cup final. It's always been this way in the professional level. 

In the PIFL last week, in the Bank Rakyat versus X-Thomian matchup, there was a moment of chaos when supporters and bench players attacked the referee of the match as a protest on the referee's decision. A good referee is invisible and gives acceptable judgement as the match goes on. But a bad referee gives bad verdicts. And bad verdicts yield discontent on the blameworthy. Thus, causing the guilty side to express their anger. In this case, attacking the referee. 

In my opinion, the referees and the players should know the objective of this league. Referees should be strict and able to control a match before triggering any unwanted commotion. Besides, players should respect the ref and officials of a match because PIFL is a friendly league. :)

Matchday 4 Aftermath

Above is the PIFL full fixtures and results from the previous week.

Another matchday has gone by and the walk of PIFL league is nearly reaching the end. Another 4 matches played last week and few controversies were raised during matchup.

Week Recap

Bank Rakyat vs X-Thomian

The war between close rivals ended with a 3-2 victory for Bank Rakyat squadron. The match went perfectly until the match referee made a streak of arguable decisions which led the X-Thomian bench and supporters went into the pitch enraged. Fortunately, the mob was able to be calmed by the players. Bank Rakyat finished the match off in style as they claim the 1st place of the PIFL this week.

Crobox vs SESCO OrEnergy

Crobox FC left stranded at the bottom of PIFL after suffering yet another blow after losing to SESCO OrEnergy 5-3. Great gameplay shown by both sides as the exchange attacks for the first 45 minutes. However, it was in the 2nd half which the Croboxian fell down real hard. The OrEnergy got the best of Crobox defenders and killed the match.

LHDN vs Petra Giants

The LHDNs were able to make the Giants sweating in agony as they compete along in this epic encounter. They were tied 3-3 in the 2nd half until Izway scored for the Giants with an brilliant lob over the LHDN keeper, 4-3. Felix scored another one for the Giants to settle out this encounter.

Masja vs Axis

The Masja squad looks a lot better in this match than they were at the first matchday. They were able to hold off Axis attacking play in the first half. However, as the match was going towards the end, a slight defensive error from Masja central defender costs them from rescuing a point from this matchup. Axis FC won again and currently resides in the 3rd place.
