During the press conference hours before the game, NLDC expressed their warm welcome to their building. both teams also insisted that this game was a pure friendly game to foster the current friendship between the teams. The session endeed with a short tour to the building.


The second half was kicked off with a totally different LPP team. The opposition too chose to bring their usual first team into the pitch and the thing was, this would surely ended up as a completely different match now. LPP looked very different when they had the ball in possession. long lay off had taken the toll on the players. That should be not be the matter, at least at this stage, knowing the match was purposely meant to get the players legs together again before they get into the new season.
The coach later swap Shuib Sibijak Alonso so he could anchor the team from their defensive half, to gain more control. having been doing as exactly asked by the coach, he would then be able distribute the ball to the wide players. the change was proven to be fruitful as LPP scored 2 more goals from a quick move from the wide side. at the last quarter an hour, a series of subtitutions were called again as the coach tried to experiment with different style of play. The main focus is now on Rizal Ghaddar after his long awaited comeback from ankle injury. Just before the final whistle, LPP managed to grab another fine goal from the player who had just been on the pitch in less than 5 minutes. this guy was out to prove that he is still the man for the scoring jobs. Final whistle 7-5.
