TUFA WIN IN 7 GOAL THRILLER

2 November, 2012

The Division One side of Tamale Utrecht Football Academy today won 5-2 against Jobaah II in a friendly match played at the Tamasco field.

The visitors astonishingly pulled two goals under 4 minutes to lead in the game. However, the Kasalans not daunted by the early shock redeemed themselves from a brace by striker Hamza Basit and a goal from Hanif Donkor to end the first half 3-2.

Head Coach Osman Rashid made changes to his team in the final ten minutes of the game when he introduced Vincent Deyi for injured Iddrisu Osman and Hamdan Yakubu for Mohammed Mutala.

Substitute Issahaku A. Kadiri got his name on the score sheet for the fifth goal after Hanif Donkor had scored the fourth from outside the penalty area in the second half.

TUFA made inroads into the opponent area for more goals but were wasteful in front of goal after taking absolute control of the game.

The Kasalans will play their next friendly match on Sunday at the same venue against Victory Stars. The game was originally scheduled for the Batco field.
