AVC and Dominic Savio Victorius

In the ongoing IFF Kuwait League AVC and Domnic Savio scored identical 3 nil victories over their opponents DHL and MAC respectively.

The first game between DHL and AVC was fast paced as both teams were trying to dominate each other from the kick-off . But as the game progressed AVC with their accurate passes took control of the proceedings and were rewarded when Anthony Rodrigues cleverly flicking the ball past the DHL goalkeeper to take a 1:0 lead at the close of first half. In the second half DHL tried their best to overcome the deficit by putting pressure repeatedly on the AVC defense and they came close to scoring several times. They will rue the missed chances which came their way. Anthony Rodrigues of AVC continued his good form and kept the DHL defense on their toes and he was rewarded with two goals in quick succession for his hatrick. This proved a mountain for DHL to climb and in the end the score read 3:0 in favor of AVC.

In the second Game we saw young Dominic Savio take on newcomers MAC. The game saw tempers rising from both ends which kept the referee on his toes. 15 minutes into the game Dominic Savio were awarded a penalty for a foul committed in the penalty area and young Johnathan Fernandes made no mistake as he placed the ball neatly to the left of the goal keeper making him a mere spectator. Johnathon quickly added a second with a good solo run and taking Dominic Savio’s to two goals lead. Within minutes Abdulla put his name on the score sheet with a neat finish. In the second half tempers continued to rise and we saw the first red card of the League. MAC did try hard to come back and came mighty close to scoring a couple of goals. But in the end the score remained Dominic Savio’s (3) – MAC (0).

The IFRA Officials did an exceptional job in officiating the day’s proceedings.
