The game started off with high intensity from both side. Both sides trying their very best to break their opponent's defence and take shots against the goalies. Nus seems to be playing well with better passes as compared to Ntu. 5mins into the game finally the first goal came. It was scored by Ntu's #7, a nice quick low drag shot. Unlucky for Nus as they were having the ball possession most of the time. Nus kept pressurising and tried to equalise but their shots were either blocked by Ntu's defender or saved by the goalie. The first period ended with the scoreline being 1-0 to NTU!
In the second period, Nus was dominating the game. Their tight defence proof too hard for Ntu to break in and trying to get their second goal. Few minutes into the game Nus finally managed to get an equaliser. It was a well taken low drag shot by one of Singapore's National Player #2 Samuel Nee. The intensity once again become high on court. In less den 2minutes, Nus scored their second goal. Once again by #2 Samuel Nee. The same goal as the previous one that he scored earlier on. Ntu's defence starts to be shaky and Nus is seizing the chance to try to get more goals in but Ntu's goalie #32 Jacky made many tremendous saves. Second period with the scoreline being 1-2 to NUS!
Third Period
In the third period few minutes into the game, Ntu's #7 scored an equaliser! It was all messy in front of Nus's goal area with Nus's defenders trying to clear away the ball and Ntu's players trying to get hold of the ball. Ntu's #7 seize the chance and did a quick low drag shot when the ball landed on his blade. Nus goalie couldn't see the ball and anticipate it due to the mess in front of him. This is the price Nus has to pay for not clearing the ball immediately. Nus then start stepping up after Ntu's equalising goal. Few minutes later Nus #21 Melvyn Tan scored a nice drag shot somewhere near the halfway line with no one stepping up on him. Nus is back leading the game. The score is now 3-2 to NUS! Referee made a good call when he gave Nus's player, Donald, a 2 minutes offence for delaying of play. Ntu tried taking many shots during the 2 minutes powerplay but their chances went down the drain as their shots were either blocked or saved. Finally after fighting out hard trying to break Nus defense, Md Hafeez, managed to score a one on one with Nus goalie! It was a nice through pass from the defence. The scoreline is now 3-3. This is so far the most exciting period as compared to the first two periods. 2minutes later, Glass, from Nus scored another goal for Nus through a free hit! Not long later, Nus scored another goal through #7 Benjamin Ang. Ntu managed to score another goal not long later but it was not good enough. They were still 1 goal down. The last 2 minutes to the end of the game, Ntu's key player, Md Hafeez tried all means n ways to assist his team mates or take a shot but Nus defence was too tight to break. The game ended with the scoreline being 4-5 to NUS!
