Debutant Muhd Firdaus, a late addition into the team couldn't have chosen a better time to score his first goal for his team as he handed Sharks maximum points deep into injury time. Chasing what looked to be a lost cause; his pace enabled him to beat 2 man before firing low to the corner of the post for the winner.  Heng Li had given Sharks a comfortable two goal lead at half-time before some inept displays provided Posuer a lifeline via a penalty and the leveler coming 3 mins before full-time.

The team started with 2 changes from the last game against Taurus with Lutz and Chris coming in for Shahrizad and Kit respectively. While Poseur direct approach via long ball were causing all sorts of problem for the backline marshalled by Kelvin, it was Sharks who drew first thru Heng Li after Jeremy's free-kick found him at the far post with only 15mins of the game. He added another in the 30^th min when his shot deflected off Poseur's defender and into goal. Jeffrey could have added another in the dying minutes of the first-half but he was taken by surprise from the bounce of the ball after the initial shot from Chris rocked the crossbar. Second-half started with Sharks creating several chances but were often found wanting and unable to increase their lead. It wasn't until 15mins before the end of the second-half that the game came alive after Sharks custodian Nizam brought down the opposition's player in the box and they duly dispatched the resulting penalty. As the oppositions pushed forward for the equaliser, Sharks had chances of their own at the other end but were unable to capitalise. That seemed to provide Poseur added impetus and they were rewarded after a speculative shot from the corner of the penalty box found the back of the net despite Shahrilnizam's vain attempt to keep it out. As the game looked headed for a draw after Jeremy's header went wide and Li's shot went straight to the keeper, Muhd Firdaus came out with the winner when he latched on to a wayward ball and buried it with two Posuer's defender breathing down his neck.

'Based on the chances created between the 2 teams, we do deserve maximum points. That said however, teams do not win by creating but by finding the net and credit to Posuer who kept going. On our part, we just stopped playing in the second-half and they were some instances whereby the defence was placed under tremendous pressure by the lack of support from the midfielders. The boys have to learn to consolidate when they are ahead and hopefully a week's break will refresh some tired legs out there.'
