Did our friendly with Football United FC cost us our place in division 5?

Team Prodigy crashed to a 3-1 defeat at Henderson Secondary last Sunday. We put up a brave fight but we just could not cope with our lack in numbers. We played most of the first half with nine men with a 4-3-1 formation and bravely kept Football United FC at bay. Unfortunately we couldnt hold Football United FC back in the second half as our players were drained of energy from all the running. Football FC scored two goals in quick succession. Their third goal was a dissappointment: the referee blew for a penalty that we felt was pretty harsh. Much to our surprise however, our players were not knocked down but instead fought to get a goal back. We actually created a good number of chances, with Brandon, Bernard, Yiarn and Hongyao all coming agonizingly close to scoring. It was however Kelvin's stint at a striking role that led to our goal. I have no idea how to describe how we scored it, I can only say Kelvin's presence threw Football United's FC defender into lobing the ball over his helpless goal keeper.

And to add salt onto our wounds, Football United FC were awarded a place in division 5 of ESPZEN's season 11 while our hopes were dashed as we were left with yet another one-division promotion. Team Prodigy shot themselves in the foot with a poor turn up! Let's hope this will be a blessing in disguise =)
