Matchday 5 saw a couple of surprises with slim victory as well as a couple of thrashing done by the usual two teams.
Game 1: GMI White Knights 3 - 2 KLIUC Griffin
( 0 - 0 , 1 - 0 , 2 - 1 )
GMI White Knights claimed their 2nd victory in the league as they narrowly defeated KLIUC Griffin, who has yet to claim a single victory in the league so far. A last-minute blunder has cost KLIUC Griffin a point in one of the most exciting matches in Selangor Floorball League history.
Bakthiar Kamal Ariff scored a hat trick as he helped the team secure a last-gasp victory over their opponent. Zaiff did many good saves to help GMI White Knights stay in the lead throughout the match, despite the lead were equalized with just less than 2 minutes in the final period. GMI's defence was rather sloppy in this match as they gave several good opportunities to KLIUC Griffin to close the gap.
The most impressive player for KLIUC Griffin is Aditiya Nugraha. As he pulled off many big saves to keep the gap as close as possible. However, a last minute blunder has surely gave him the nightmare of a lifetime. But, he was surely credited for pulling the defence together and also his performance was remarkable. Besides, KLIUC Griffin was improving week after week as they nearly secured their first point this season as they managed to equalise with just 2 minutes left on the clock.
In the end, GMI White Knights claimed a slender win and they are still giving surprises to many teams in the league so far.
