Rimal Make It Four From Four With 2-0 Win At Forte Virtus

Rimal Al-Sahra SC made it four wins from four in the UAE Second Division with a 2-0 win away at Forte Virtus. Twelve points from twelve, and a fourth clean sheet in a row.

Horak with both

Samuel Horak scored both goals, the first with a header and the second a left-footed finish. Two different finishes, and four goals in his last three matches.

A night for grafting

The conditions made it a tough night for football, and Forte Virtus were a fit, athletic side who made it awkward throughout. Getting the job done without conceding said plenty about the group.

There was a debut for our new striker Troy Chiabi, and a world-class block from Axel Ezan to keep the sheet clean. That clean sheet was the fourth of the season for goalkeeper Patrick Sintcheu, who has still not picked the ball out of his net in the league this year.

What the head coach said

I thought it was an excellent away performance in really difficult conditions against a fit, athletic team who made it tough for us throughout. I thought we could have managed the last 20 minutes a little better, but overall, a great performance and a great night!

Rich Peniket, Head Coach
