Dalbona PT. 5 vs 2 Tigres Black

Dalbona PT. welcomed Tigres Black to Deportivo Nacional on 27 March 2026 for a 6-a-side league encounter, kicking off promptly at 7:00am. Over a tightly contested 50-minute match, Dalbona PT. emerged victorious with a commanding 5-2 scoreline, showcasing attacking flair and defensive resilience.

Dalbona PT. lined up in a 1-1-3 formation, a setup that placed emphasis on a solid defensive base, midfield control, and a potent three-pronged attack. J. Ghazali took his place between the sticks as goalkeeper, tasked with organising the defence and launching quick distribution. Karlifah Danski operated as the central defender, anchoring the backline and providing aerial strength. In midfield, A. Raska was deployed centrally, expected to link defence and attack while maintaining possession. The forward line consisted of Arsaka Dante on the left, M. Zahran on the right, and Altraio Alaseid leading as the central striker. This formation demanded fluidity and creativity from the front three, with the midfield shielding the defence and supporting attacks. On the bench, M. Baim was named as the sole substitute available.

The match began with early intensity, but it was Dalbona PT. who first drew attention when A. Raska received a yellow card in the third minute for a deliberate handball, a caution that would remind him to tread carefully. Four minutes later, Karlifah Danski demonstrated his defensive prowess by clearing a dangerous ball with a well-timed header, helping to quell Tigres Black’s early pressure.

The physicality of the match was evident when Arsaka Dante was booked in the tenth minute for a bad tackle, signalling a fiercely competitive encounter. Dalbona PT.’s right forward, M. Zahran, then made a costly mistake in the 14th minute, momentarily disrupting his side’s rhythm.

However, it was Arsaka Dante who began to shine as the game progressed. In the 23rd minute, he unleashed a spectacular scissors kick from outside the box with his right foot, sending the ball into the net and giving Dalbona PT. the lead. Just two minutes later, he doubled the advantage by rising highest to head home a free kick expertly delivered by Karlifah Danski, showcasing excellent timing and aerial ability.

As the first half drew to a close at the 25-minute mark, Dalbona PT. held a comfortable 2-0 lead. Early in the second half, Karlifah Danski came close to extending the lead with an attempt in the 29th minute, demonstrating his willingness to contribute offensively from defence. Arsaka Dante continued his fine form by scoring a solo goal with his left foot in the 30th minute, weaving past opponents to increase the tally to 3-0.

Dalbona PT.’s dominance was further emphasised in the 41st minute when Karlifah Danski converted a close-range penalty with his right foot, adding a fourth goal to the scoreboard. Shortly after, at the 45th minute, a tactical substitution saw M. Baim replace A. Raska in midfield, aiming to inject fresh energy into the side.

Tigres Black managed to pull one back with a tap-in goal in the 49th minute, signalling a late fightback. Yet Dalbona PT. responded immediately; in the 50th minute, goalkeeper J. Ghazali ventured forward to score a diving header from a close-range free kick delivered by Arsaka Dante, sealing the emphatic 5-2 victory.

Arsaka Dante’s outstanding performance, marked by a hat-trick and a crucial assist, earned him the player of the match accolade. His influence was pivotal in Dalbona PT.’s attacking success and overall control of the game. Referee Luca Piccolo maintained order with a steady performance throughout the match.

Dalbona PT.’s tactical setup and individual brilliance proved too much for Tigres Black, who were unable to contain the hosts’ relentless attacking threat at Deportivo Nacional.
