Rimal Make It Three From Three With 6-0 Win Over Baynounah
Rimal Al-Sahra SC made it three wins from three in the UAE Second Division with a 6-0 win over Baynounah at the Jebel Ali Sports Complex. Nine points from nine, and not a goal conceded all season.
The goals
Samuel Horak scored twice, with Noah Lobe, Manuel Cedenilla, Faruq Smith and Artyon Ramaj all adding their names to the scoresheet. Six goals, five different scorers.
Horak should have had a hat-trick. A third goal was ruled out for an apparent push in the back, and he will feel hard done by.
Faruq Smith's goal may well be another contender for goal of the season. He picked the ball up near enough on the halfway line, skipped over two reckless challenges on the way, and slotted it away. It is worth seeing for yourself: the video is on our Instagram.
The last of the six came from an Artyon Ramaj free kick. All round, an incredible performance.
What the head coach said
It was important that we kept our standards high and didn’t let our levels drop, and the lads did exactly that. I thought the second-half performance was excellent. We played with real intensity, kept pushing for more, and the lads who came off the bench made a real impact. That shows the strength of the group and the mentality we’re trying to build!
Rich Peniket, Head Coach
