Seems like RS is facing dilemma whenever playing after raining on a muddy field, most of the players don't play as well on the muddy field as on the normal field.
a small rain before the match didn't stop RS players to reach the field on time, apart from one super Legend in forms of Lau BS who just release a giant aeroplane to the team due to most of his body are made of recycle paper.
RS coach Mr.X condemned Lau BS's teamwork attitude as the team's injury & MIA list is growing longer & longer, he still choose to abandoned the team on the last minutes again & again, luckily though not all RS's players have the same mindset as him.
KC who just made himself available after seeing the depleted match day squad & join up in time, even though he did been accused the title of Rain Man.
this is the RS's first encounter with the Immigration FC, the players of Im FC arrived in the government officer transportation. Fans in the stadium whistle at them with the chanting they are wasting tax's payer money in using the public property for personal use.
the rain stopped once the match kick off, but RS's concentration can been seen distracted as Im FC score on their first attack of the evening. lacked of pressure from RS midfield allowed Im FC's midfield sent a through ball in between KC & Allan where the striker run on & score. No chance for the keeper.
RS try to regain composure by putting more pressure on their midfield, a few good ball found the flying winger in Zharif & BK where they sending a few delicious crossing into the box. RS managed to have a shot on target but been blocked by Im FC's keeper.
again, lacked of pressure from RS defence let the Im FC sent a overhead ball to RS's left defence where the LB is drawn high up field. SB try to cover but the low cross evaded him & tapped in by Im FC striker. 2-0

Eventually the work paid off, Im FC's keeper try to pass out from the back & intercept by Zharif, who control & send a left footed into the bottom of the net. Games ON, RS can seen regain confident from the goal.
RS again building & circulate the ball nicely, Andrew's through ball send BK free at the right wing, BK saw the run of Zharif & send a wonderful into the heard the Im FC's 12 yard, Zharif arrived & score on the half volley into center of the net. RS's celebration was cut short by a late late late offside flag.
fans is singing "Ref Kayu' after & even players requested VAR review, but the ref rejected & said his decision is final.
RS lost a bit of heart from there & let the Im FC's corner fly in with another tap in.
Half time 3-1 to the Im FC.
RS plot the fight back in 2nd half with sending on fully recovered Moca & the poster boy WJ in the place of Paul & Chin Siang.
RS try hard to score a second ball, a brilliant chance fell to WJ when Andrew drive from midfield & send an overhead through ball, surprisingly WJ controlled the ball with wonderful first touch, try to beat the keeper with the toe poke shot but keeper is well aware & save his shot.
keeper quickly launch another attack by sending a goal kick high up the field, SB try to control the ball but slipped & let Im FC through, the winger square the ball & the striker tapped in the last goal. the game is done by that goal.
after the match, RS coach Mr.X vowed to get RS train under rain more often to prepare them for the future match under the similar condition. He also emphasize the importance of teamwork, name in front of the jersey is always more important than the back.
Keep fighting & come back stronger RS.
