Hi, just to correct again, it’s Vuong Gia Hieu, not Vuong Hia Gieu. (:
Apologies. Thanks for the correction, the changes have been made
Nice article!
Khairul scored VJ’s 5th goal, the one that went in off the post.
In photo 9, the VJ player is #14 Fang Jia Jie.
And Alfred’s first goal came from a cross on the right from the VJ right winger.
Thanks for the corrections.
Hi Kenneth, great coverage on the game. 😀 I think there’s an error in the goal scorer. Ryson scored the 6th goal. Khairul Anwar (#16) also scored one of the goals.
Hi Victoria and Aaron, thanks for notifying the mistakes in the article. It wasn’t easy to spot who score the 5th goal as i was sitting right up at the media area on the 4th storey!
And i rmbed the stadium announcer saying Ryson scored the goal, which i assumed to be true. Haha.
