New Rovers 5 vs 0 JAGSFORGOOD

Sunday February 22

Firhill Complex

Another excellent display of attacking football with five goalscorers - and another clean sheet.

An inch-perfect long range free kick from Abdul Alsahar was expertly finished at the back post by ABDULMAJEED ALQADHI, then the lead was doubled not long after when Andrea Ekuase’s corner was knocked in by ABDUL ALSAHAR. An excellent strike from CAL McGREEVY established a 3-0 interval lead.

After the break, Ryan Devine burst after the ball and was brought down in the box and ANDREA EKUASE stepped up to add a fourth goal from the penalty spot but the best goal of the day was kept till last!

NABIL AL HUMAIDI drove into the box then showed brilliant skill on the ball taking on four defenders then striking his shot high into the top corner of the net for our best goal of the season so far!

Even without three regular Back 4 players, there was another solid defensive display though it took a great save from Eliasz Zalewski to secure the clean sheet. The second half display of centre back Abdulaziz Ahmed, making his debut, was promising.

Johnny Greenwood, Nabil Al Humaidi and Cal McGreevy dominated the midfield, Ryan Devine, impersonating Batman on his return from injury, and Abdulmajeed Alqadhi were hugely effective on the wings and Andrea Ekuase up front gave his best display in ages.

Three more useful points against the league’s second placed team and an improved goal tally of 37 goals for and only 7 against in 12 league games.

Team:

Zalewski; Alsahar, Gabriel, Rodriguez, Martin (Aziz Ahmed); Greenwood, Al Humaidi; Devine (Abdelrahman), McGreevy (Byfanzi), Alqadhi; Ekuase
