Tournament Update 4: White Eagles Bombastical Bredrins: 3 Machester Youngsters: 1

Match Report: The Bredrins enter the match knowing that thanks to other results in Group B, they have already qualified for the quarter finals. They also know that a another solid win would put them top of the group with an easier draw for the quarters.

The first half is a scrappy affair and the Bredrins are struggling to play the flowing football for which they are known. Of note, however, is one moment of individual skill from the star striker Serunjoje who flicks the ball over a defender and volleys the ball into the top right hand corner. Half time arrives and the score is 1-0.

Into the second half and the quality of football is better with some good passing from both teams. As Manchester push for the equaliser they are caught on the break and Serunjoje once again collects the ball to coolly finish for 2-0.

It would be easy now for the Bredrins to kill the game off but to their credit Manchester take it up a gear and a powerful Roonyesque run from midfield leads to a well earned goal. Machester are starting to look like their namesake.

The Bredrins however push to make the game safe and do so 10 minutes from time after a goal mouth scramble is finished off by Sekanjako. The game finishes 3-1, the Bredrins qualify top and it’s a hearty slaps on the backs all round.
