Diablos FC 1 – 1 FC Lawless
Lawless salvaged a point late in the game via a free kick from captain Nakul Ganapathy, while playing with only 10 men. Diablos must be kicking themselves for getting complacent late in the game and allowing their opposition a sniff at goal.
Diablos took the lead earlier in the game when Lawless defender Mathew Alexander turned the ball into his own net. Diablos didn’t kill the game off with chances aplenty and paid an expensive price, Al Fateh now overtaking them in the standings.
Lawless have not picked up a win yet but recent performances have been encouraging and that first win should be around the corner.
Scorers:
Mathew Alexander (OG) 25’ (Diablos FC)
Nakul Ganapathy 57’ (FC Lawless)
Al-Fateh 2 – 0 Titans FC
Al-Fateh continued their impressive start to their debut TAL campaign beating fellow title rivals Titans FC with two late goals from captain Zaib Sherief. Titans matched their opposition toe to toe in the first half and had plenty of half chances, which they failed to convert.
Al-Fateh seemed rattled by the strong midfield pressing that ensued but found that extra push late in the game to secure three points against a tough opponent. Titans are not out of the title race yet, but Al-Fateh have a three-point lead over them as well as a game in hand.
Scorers:
Zaib Sherief 50’, 56’ (Al-Fateh)
FC Bengal 6 – 1 Joras
Bengal thumped Joras putting six past them with forward Saheed Adeoye scoring 5 goals in a game for the second time in his TAL career. Joras have been badly out of form and look like a demotivated side on the pitch in their past few outings.
The majority of Bengal’s goals came from defensive lapses with Saheed quick to pounce on them. Bengal have now won 3 out of their 4 games and are in contention for a promotion spot while Joras look to be on a free fall.
Scorers:
Saheed Adeoye 19’, 23’,39’,50’,55’; Arjun Sehgal 33’ (FC Bengal)
Sivaram Natarjan 22’ (Joras)
