BRF FA cruises on into the next round
Action continued at
the U-13 football tournament with BRF Football Academy trashing 3 Stars
Football Club by 4-0. Influential to their success was the indomitable
Hakeem Oladele who was the talisman for the team. Currently, he stands
alone as the highest goal scorer in the competition. After his
hat-trick on Tuesday, he scored two more goals in their defeat of 3
Stars FC to bring his goal tally to five.
The BRF Football
Academy have been the best team in this tournament, showing themselves
to be consistent winners. They have won all the three matches they
played. The youngsters were brimming with excitement for the
opportunity given them to be able to showcase the talent they have. In
a second match decided on Thursday, Tuesday’s losers, Sunshine FC, made
a comeback to form by beating their opponents, Loveworld FC 3-0. This
would be a confidence booster for them since they have lost in their
last two matches.
According to the
protocol officer of Global Sports Limited, Anthony Azuka, they have
been encouraged by the enthusiasm of the boys. “Their turn up has
really encouraged us and to see the way they play, it is unbelievable.
It shows that there is talent yet untapped in this country.”
The boys show
promise, but they still need to improve on the way they play their free
kicks, corner kicks, and their throw-ins. Quarter final matches would
be decided on Friday. The final match will be played on the Astroturf
of the National Stadium by 3pm.
