First football match in the new National Stadium

The new National Stadium celebrated its first football match here on August 16, 2014 at 6 pm with an exhibition match between Juventus Football Club and Singapore Selection. The match ended with the scoreline of Juventus 5 - Singapore Selection 0 and i am glad i am one of the audience that managed to experience this historical event milestone for the new National Stadium. Below are some of the photos i took of this event.

The new stadium and the line up 
The first goal was scored in the 17th minute of the match by Andrea Pirlo via a free kick. This was followed by a second via a penalty in the 43th minute, again by Andrea Pirlo. One of my favourite ex-Manchester United players, Patrice Evra played in this match, but this time wearing a Juventus jersey. He was substituted when the second half started. In the second half, i got to see another ex-Manchester United player in action, Paul Pogba.

Three more goals were scored in the second half; Paul Pogba (48') Sebastian Giovinco (55') and Kwadwo Asamoah (71') .

  1. I really don't like football. In Singapore I guess cricket and rugby are more popular. My kids even asked me to find a school for them but I don't know where to go. Any recommendation?
