Rimal Come From Behind to Beat Precision 2-1
We came from behind to beat Precision 2-1 at the Jebel Ali Sports Complex on Friday night, with Navalona Ramahazomanana scoring both. We conceded first, and a sloppy one at that, but we did what we do best: kept our heads, stayed calm and trusted in our ability to get back into it.
What the Head Coach Said
We conceded a sloppy goal against the run of play and could easily have felt sorry for ourselves, but this group is full of character, togetherness and a relentless determination to win football matches.
The response from the players was outstanding, and to turn the game around in the manner we did says a lot about the mentality and belief within this squad.
A special mention must go to Nava, who thoroughly deserved his two goals. His performances in recent weeks have been excellent, and it’s great to see him getting the rewards for his hard work.
Rich Peniket, Head Coach
Where It Leaves Us
The win puts us third on twenty-one points from nine matches, seven wins and two defeats, level on points with the side we played a few weeks ago, now second in the table, and two behind leaders Masfout, who have played a game more. Twenty goals scored and seven conceded, the joint-fewest in the division. Next up is Masfout away on Sunday 8 November.
