NikeFive: Preview of Week 5.
Week 3 was sizzling hot with some extremely tough match ups. In the Monday league the unbeatable Ahdaaf sqaured off with the super energetic Dragon Flying. The game was immense and it was attack after attack with no room for respite. Both teams came prepared and gave it their all but it was that decisive goal that Ahdaaf scored that finally edged out the Chinese high fliers 4-3. Ahdaaf are yet to be defeated in their division as they continue their 8 game winning streak leading the table. CCCP are on their tails in second place as they keep the pressure on them by managing to find those match winning goals without their solid injured defender, Youri. Dragon Flying are not far off in third place while a persistent Nofolk Enchance are only 2 points behind them in fourth, so the Monday league was full of suprises and electrirfied the crowd with this week’s action.
In the Tuesday League we saw the invincable Zinkeiros face off with the Big Sky Wings who started off as underdogs to the Brazilian Super Stars. The Brazilian super men started off well and controlled the game but as the game progressed the Big Sky Wings emerged as their kryptonite due to some excellent defending and deadly counter attacks. Even though Zinkeiros were dealt a blow with their key defender getting injured during this intensified match, they still fought on only to be defeated by a mere margin of 4-3. The Big Sky Wings used their size and aggressive approach to their advantage against the small Brazilians and it worked. As it stands, The Royal Crew, Big Sky Wings and Zinkeiros all lead the table with 21 points.
However, the league that appears to be the most competitive is the Wednesday league. The previous leaders ACWA who were unbeaten found a tough opponent in Dream Team who beat them 3 goals to 1. The game was a tough encounter but the winners deserved it. The updated league table sees Bacalao Bacalao and Faris Abu Mayaleh Group lead the table with 22 points while Showtime FC and ACWA are one point behind them in third and fourth respectively. Then Dream Team, Dubai Financial Market and Dubai First all share fifth, sixth and seventh place with 16 points. Nobody is safe in this league and these teams will have to treat each game as a final if they are to qualify to the next round.
In the Sunday league Norfolk Nway continue their domination by taking their tally to 22 points but Maths are not far behind with 21 points.
In the Saturday league Lambo, Unknown and Galacticos share the spoils with 15 points leaving every one in their dust. It will no doubt be a super finish to that league. Some impressive individuals have taken the spot light this week and they must be mentioned. From Pink Panthers, the little wiz kid Alaa has caught some attention while in the Zinkeiros the classy Hugo didnt fail to impress with his close control and quick feet. In the Big Sky Wings,Najeeb show cased his individual skills and powerful shots that helped his team to win their game against the Brazilian Super Stars. Ahdaaf’s Jamal was incredible in defense and dangerous in attack. He lead his team to victory with some impressive passing and pin point shooting. Ahmad Abdul Rahman was the driving force behind Faris Abu Mayaleh Group who deserve a special mention for their consistency and absolute beautiful passing in the Wednesday league. Although their star player Amjad suffered a knee injury before the game they maintained their high level of football and showed why they lead the table. Ahmad is a fast, skilled sharp shooter who can not be given space and his destruction last week will not be forgotten.
Good luck to all the teams in the next week and may the best team win!
