Goalscoring Prowess

What a spectacle at The Cage yesterday as we enjoyed a flurry of goals from all the teams, most notably Marine Parade and Geylang West, which accounted for 26 of the total 65 goals scored on Matchday 2.

Did you miss the 3 hat-tricks by Muhd Hazly of Bukit Merah? The goalmouth dangerman has now amassed a scary 14 goals, making him the runaway top scorer at the moment.

The regular contributors are now hot on the heels behind Muhd Hazly, with Khairulnizam (BK), Karthigesan (GW) and Mathan Kumar (MacP) finally wearing their scoring boots.

Two players have quietly crept up the chart and are helping their teams be where they are now. It is no wonder Ahmad Khidhir (MP) and Muhd Sharul (BM) are new important assets to the 2 teams sitting comfortably at the top of the table now.

Let's now shift our attention to Geylang West. It certainly hasn't gone unnoticed that almost the whole squad can score goals. Just look at the chart and you find every player contributing to the goal cause. So...you ask. How to stop conceding goals to Geylang West then? The answer is to park your team bus in between your 2 goal-posts. Forget man-marking. It just will not work. By the way, just scroll down the list and you'll find last season's goal machine, Mohd Serajudeen. He is back!!! Don't say i didn't warn you guys!

Ang Mo Kio, meanwhile, is depending heavily on Radin Zainuddin and Muhd Zaki to convert more of the limited chances they have now, to try and improve on their best placed finish.

The plight of Taman Jurong is getting more anxious by every Matchday as they have only Mohd Danial to thank for at the moment. That is the main reason why the team is rooted at the bottom of the table. If you don't score goals, you don't win matches. Simple as that.

If Sembawang are to avoid the disappointment of last-day jitters of the past 2 seasons, they may have to cough up more goals and secure more victories and hold on to their position in the table. It's not looking too good at Matchday 2. They have relinguished the runner-up spot and now start as underdogs next week.

As we run through the list, it's easy to spot at least 10 names who are going to light up this season's Premier League. We'll be on alert to see the storm that they will be stirring up soon...

Matchday 3 will come to you live at the Fico Sports Hub in Jurong West this coming Saturday at 3pm. You won't miss us!
