Kickers FA Versus Mazugal FC: Review

In a display of raw talent and tactical discipline,Kickers Football Academy tore apart the resistance of Mazugal FC with two unreplied goals,one coming in each half.The match which toook place at the Kano Pillars Stadium in Sabon Gari Kano,lived up to its billing as the beautiful display by the players put together by the the academy in Kano.

The first half kicked off in brilliant fashion as Haruna led the attack of the lively academy boys.On the stroke of one minute,left back Yautai floated in a cross towards Haruna but the goal keeper gathered the ball to ward off the the first wave of attack.One long kick after another by the Mazugal FC defence made life difficult for them,as the opposing midfield comprising of hard tackling Abdullahi,calm Sagir,and the creative Toro,controlled the game with sleek passing and movement.

With solid displays by the Kickers FA back four led by center halfs Murtala and Ali,it was one way traffic with goal keeper Ambrose called to duty on one scary moment in the course of  a counter atack by the opposition.A long ball caught the defence napping and Ambrose rushed  out to clear the mess which eluded him.Libero Murtala chased the ball all the way as it bounced in the eighteen yard box and off the cross bar,before he cleared with his left foot for a throw in.

On the attack Mustapha stylishly gained a few free kicks without a goal coming.The deadlock was broken on the half hour mark as Haruna controled the ball in the penalty area,before slamming his shot beyond the helpless keeper.

The Second half continued in the same fashion as the four three three formation/four five one formation of Kickers FA  proved too hot for Mazugal FC to handle.Coach made a few changes and they revitalised the approach by piling pressure on the opposition.The game wore on to a red card incident as the top nine of Mazugal FC elbowed Ali the center half.Reduced to ten men,the players tackled roughly but this led to persistent attacks culminating in Haruna missing a sitter,after a through ball from the ouside right.Ghaddafi was impressive bursting down the right flank to terrorize the tiring players.

Late in the second half,Toro latched on to a ball across goal by placing it in the roof to the left of the keeper, to give Kickers FA a well deserved two goal lead.Toro ran the defence ragged with deft touches to the delight of the crowd in attendance and an agressive defender lunged at him two footed to bag the second red card of the exciting encunter.From then on it was one way traffic as the young boys of the academy proved too hot for Mazugal FC to handle.
