Highlights
_____________________________
1st Half
- Gehry took the lead up one at the 20th min
- 5+design responded at the 25th min with a beautiful equalizer from Gurmukh
- Maysho courageously blocked a shot by the Gehry striker. Both men crashed into each other and went down. It took a few minutes for both to shake off the impact. Maysho soldiered on throughout the match to put up a solid performance

2nd Half
- 5+design dominated the match in the 2nd half with several good moves around the opponent’s goal mouth
- Erik lead 5+design into the lead with a superb shot in the 40th min
- 5+design won the match with a third goal from Gurmukh in the last 5 mins

Note:
A soccer coach from a soccer academy in Santa Monica approached the 5+design team that night to request us to play against his team this Wednesday 7.30pm. If I get it correctly, the team, is organized by the St. Annes Soccer Academy as part of a social program by the City of Santa Monica, to inspire and direct the energy of youths in more positive channels through soccer. A great opportunity for all of us to contribute to the society and bring positive impact to the community through soccer. Who knows, we might inspire a few of them to be future 5+design’s designers? haha...
