It was a game we should have won or at least draw.

Goliath was disappointed to leave MMU Field empty-handed after Goliath went down to a narrow defeat to Staff.

The Staff did not take several chances and were hit by a sucker-punch when the Staff took the lead through their striker in first half.

Ujay,Ayya,Zaid & Salem all went close as Goliath tried to get back in the time left but afterwards the Goliath could only rue what might have been.

Goliath keeper, Akmal said, "I thought our performance was good, on the balance of play we created four or five really good chances but did not take them.

"Staff also create a great deal, in the first half they had one chance and took it. Unfortunately for us that has shaped the game. I thought it was one of our best away performances of the season, but we did not take the chances and get the goal we needed.

"Goals change games, it’s an old cliché but it is absolutely true. If we had scored first, Staff would have had to come out at us, which is when we can pick teams off. But when we concede first we find it difficult to put pressure on. Overall the performance was fine but we are very disappointed to lose again.

"We were good but Staff which has a lot of experience play long ball trying to repel attacks. Attitude and performance-wise I am more than happy, but result wise we have to be disappointed because that was a game we should have won or draw."

Goliath came without two defender players because of injury ; Shek the right defender and Shauqie the left defender . Of the trio, Sim added:

"Ujay had a stiff hamstring yesterday, had some work with the physios last night and it eased off. It was not an actual pull, but he went into a challenge and felt it stiffen up almost immediately. We hope we can work on it and release the tightness, hopefully it is not a strain because that would take him out for a number of weeks."

The next game will be on 19 March against Salsa and for sure Goliath will be ready to face the challenge and change their fate because from other view Goliath FC only have been created two month ago and played only four games but manage to have a lot of chances in the field and lose only 1 goal to opponents compare to other teams who lose a lot of goals.They also have one match win 3-1 against Dettol FC.Overall this show that the new team,Goliath FC have a bright future ahead and a lot of their player can improved.
