TUFC IN A SLIM WIN - TAKES ON ALITIFAQ

14 June, 2012

Tamale Utrecht football academy division one side today beat Ghana Senior High 1-0 in a friendly at the Ghanasco field.

TUFC scored the only goal of the match that was highly intriguing for the division one side in the first half.

Central defender Mohammed Alhassan who played in the right back position connected with his right foot into the net after he was put through by Iddrisu Osman.

The host also came close to scoring but poor connection upfront denied them of an equalizer.

Haruna Najimudeen, Alhassan Kalusha and Adam Ibrahim all fumble with scoring opportunities to increase their goal count despite having only the goalkeeper to beat.

Vincent Deyi who had just recovered from an ankle injury was introduced into the game half way inside the second half but could not register himself on the score sheet.
