Neutral friendly match
The game started off with sharp passing and movement by both teams and soon after, China Sunstars started to dictate direction of play, with ball moving from defence to attack in quick vertical passing lanes. Pressure on the opponent forced a corner kick, which from direct attempt, resulted in the first goal. Brown swung the ball in and it beat the keeper. The second goal came soon after from a good play down the left side where Fode Traore released Peter Ahisu with a good pass inside the 18 and he swung in unmarked. 2-0 China Sunstars fc.
The opposition kept pushing and playing balls behind the defensive line but goalkeeper Kay was always quick to clear out. The defensive play from China Sunstars was in check and they directed the action and kept building up from defence to attack. Opponents scored from a lack of pressure by defence soon after.
China Sunstars scored its third goal from a penalty as the opposition defenders handled the ball in their box, which was converted by man of the match Peter Ahisu, who put up a wonderful display, majorly unplayable till he was subbed off with injury.
First half ends 3-1 in favour of China Sunstars fc.
Second half was controlled and there was little concentration in either 18yard box as the game pace reduced. Subs came on and tempo of game dropped further.
Bernard Sunday of China Sunstars was booked twice and received his marching orders.
The opponent's second goal came as a result of lack of concentration by Munir, who was playing as a Rightback from his original midfield position.
Substitute Azeez Umor was also sent off for violent conduct as Cssfc finished the game with 9 men.
Warith made a sensational block in the last minutes of the game to deny opponent an equalising goal.
Good performance all round, well deserved victory.
