A defeat by a mere 3 points reflects how close we were towards defeating the seeded team in our group.
However, the comments from the coach and my kind colleague shared a common thread - that Fajar had a golden opportunity to score a much-needed victory, but failed to capitalise on a Nan Hua team who was well and truly beaten in the first quarter.
But in the second quarter, they found their second wind and knocked the stuffing out of Fajar.
The third and final quarters were drawn. This showed how evenly matched we were. But due to the wide margin of defeat in our second quarter, we were eventually edged out by 3 points.
It is a hard defeat to take.
In future, if we ever have such a great opportunity to take the scalp of a seeded team, we must finish the job.
Qualification for the Second Round is now slim. We must win our final two matches, and hope that Nan Hua slips up in their next match.
Our fingers are crossed.
