Philam Life 7s Football League Season 3: Super Eagles, Ghana F.C. Set For Explosive Finals Rematch
Super Eagles and Ghana F.C. are set to face in what will be a highly-anticipated finals rematch after winning over their opponents in the semifinals of the Philam Life 7s Football League at the McKinley Hill Stadium.
In what was a tight affair, Ghana F.C. scored the marginal goal in the game’s final minutes to squeak past Bohemian S.C., 1-0.
With Coach Ayi Bimbo turned to Asare David who converted an attempt in the second half. His trust in his super sub paid dividends once again, citing him as the team’s game-changer.
“It was really a tight game. All of us had chances and it was really hard work. We’re not hitting the back of the net. I called on Asare David and he changed the game. Last shot, he made it from long-range. And again, he’s done it. All credit goes to him,” said Coach Ayi Bimbo.
Also, defending two-time champions Super Eagles continued their dominance by beating Delimondo-Laro F.C. 4-1.
After scoring two unanswered goals in the first half behind Ebere Ogochukwu and Femi Ogurinde, the Super Eagles carried over their brilliance in the second half with a pair of goals from Ebere and Charles Ujam.
With Ghana F.C. slated to face Super Eagles once again, the Ayi Bimbo-mentored squad is expected to pull all the stops to finally get over the hump against the defending champions.
“If we keep that same positivity, we’ll get a [good] result. We’ve forgotten about our loss last year and we’re going to get the trophy this time. Trust me,” said Asare David.
