FAHAHEEL BROS, SKYNET & DHL NOTCH WINS


The 15th round of the Indian Football Federation Kuwait (IFFK) saw 3 matches being played on 12th March 2010 at the Daya grounds.
In the first match Fahaheel Bros took on Dominic Savio. Both the teams played cautious football in the first half with Alex and Anthony keeping Fahaheel Bros forwards at bay. The second half saw Fahaheel Bros taking control of the proceedings and ran over Dominic Savio with a hat trick from Malayil Shafi who scored 4 goals and a brace from Abdul Natukhanadi and Theriamkunnv Noushad completing the rout. The game ended with a score line of 7-0 in favour of Fahaheel Bros.

The second match saw Skynet Raiders locking horns with Santos United. Both the teams dished out entertaining football with attacks from flanks and midfield. Defenders kept the score line nil with timely interventions. Skynet Raiders took the lead through hard working Caridado. Santos United instead of falling back took the game to the opposition and upped the tempo and Basheer Kutty equalized with a crisp shot to level terms for Santos United. As the game was heading for spilt points Sabeer Valapil put Skynet Raiders ahead with a stinging grounder from top of the box which the Santos United goalkeeper could have stopped if he was more alert. Basheer Kutty and Godwin of Santos United tried hard for the equalizer, but luck and time ran out for them and Skynet Raiders came out victorious 2-1. Philip, Caridado and Basheer were outstanding for Skynet Raiders, whereas Basheer and Godwin along with Martin displayed good technique for Santos United.



The third match was between DHL Football Club and Veterans United. This was a keenly fought affair. DHL with its youth and exuberance and Veterans with their skill and experience matched each other in almost all departments of the game. DHL forwards Rosario and Terrance attacked in tandem, but Veterans’ defenders Teddy and Merwyn with their timely interceptions kept then at bay. DHL took the lead through Terrance who unleashed a powerful volley which gave no chance to the Veterans keeper to go in to lemon break at 1-0. In the second half Veterans midfield and defence contained DHL who by now with the introduction of Roland in the midfield were dictating terms. Rosario scored for DHL to increase the tally after missing two sitters earlier. Veterans showed signs of urgency and reduced the margin when Noel let loose a stinging grounder giving no chance to DHL keeper to react. DHL held on to the lead and came out victorious 2-1
