Today saw us defeating 2 challenging foes in league and Champions League as we continued to make progress on both fronts.
In the league, we won IngR 1-0 at home in a tense encounter with Ibanez's early goal proving to be the winner. It was a close affair as we could not find that second goal despite our domination and Adeso was the Man of the Match as he bossed the midfield, breaking up opposing attacks while launching dangerous ones himself, either passing to well positioned teammates or getting into shooting positions. With Edgar FC close behind, we need to keep winning to remain top of the league and we fully intend to do just that.
The Champions League Last 16 2nd leg at home against Naftan FC proved to be a pulsating match as we scored the opener through Ma before falling behind by 1-3 at half time before a ferocious fightback in the 2nd half through goals from Rybin, Ma, Olaiz and Tajeddine secured a 5-3 victory on the night and 7-6 on aggregate. We made things difficult for ourselves with some lackluster defending in the 1st half but Ma led the comeback with another fantastic display capped by 2 well taken goals while the decision to bring on Tajeddine proved to be a masterstroke as he assisted once and also scored the final goal. Once again our unwavering self belief was instrumental in achieving this result and our home fans were inspiring as our 12th player. As long as we tighten up defensively and be more clinical with our chances, we can win against anyone.
