Women's Premier League Cup Semi-finals
Jansenites shock Police to reach Cup final
By Eddie dos Passos/SHF

Jansenites pulled off one of the season's biggest upsets when they disposed of Police in the semi-finals of the Women's Premier League Cup in a penalty shoot-out at Delta Stadium on Sunday evening and won 4-2 after the match ended in a 2-2 stalemate.

Only a day earlier, the match had to be halted less than 15 minutes into play because of the threat of lightning and was resumed Sunday, starting from the moment it was stopped.

Police by this time, led 1-0 through a sixth minute Chu Yue Xiu field-goal and upon resumption of play the following day, Police extended their lead through Florence Chua Siew Lian, to hand them a comfortable 2-0 cushion.

Much to Police's surprise, Jansenites launched their offensive and stuck gold when they scored off a Chua Xinni firing home from a penalty corner in the 22nd minute, reducing the deficit to 2-1.

Then Jansenites struck pay dirt when they were awarded a free-hit from just outside the edge of the Police goal. Chua was again in the thick of the action and her seemingly wide hit was deflected off the stick of Siti Nur Basirah B Md Ibrahim and looped past a stranded Police keeper Siti Zawiah B Abd Malek for the equalizer.

After conceding the equalizer, Police's experienced proved futile as they sent in raids in waves in anticipation of producing another goal, preferable the winner.

With the match deadlocked, the two sides knew that the match was going into extra-time of seven minutes each half.

Even then, the amount of attacks by Police mounted on the Jansenites goal, saw them absorb everything thrown at them with penalty corners coming in thick of a largely Police barrage after the end of extra-time, the match had to rely on the luck of the draw - penalty shoot-out.

But as with every penalty shoot-out, only one winner will emerge, in this case it was Jansenites when their defender held their nerves to settle the issue.

Jansenites join their male compatriots in the finals where both teams will face off against an all-Singapore Recreation Club final next Sunday.
