Mavericks delivered a commanding display at Stad Popiler on Wednesday, clinching a resounding 4-0 win against Mont Buxton United. The youthful Mavericks squad exhibited unwavering determination and showcased their skill throughout the match, fully deserving their comprehensive triumph.
The opening goal came from the talented Joshua Sinon in the 18th minute, setting the tone for Mavericks’ dominance. Abdul Yunus extended their lead with a well-taken goal in the 40th minute, securing a comfortable 2-0 advantage at halftime.
As the second half commenced, Mavericks continued their attacking prowess. Jacob Gilindro found the back of the net in the 66th minute, further solidifying their control over the match. However, in the 83rd minute, Mavericks’ goalkeeper and captain, Shawn Legras, was forced to leave the field due to an injury that had been plaguing him since last week. Despite the setback, Mavericks rallied together and displayed their resilience. The icing on the cake came in the 96th minute when Clency Leon scored the final goal, capping off the impressive 4-0 victory for Mavericks.
Shawn Legras (Mavericks FC, Captain)
It was a must-win game, and Mavericks approached it with unwavering determination. We were determined to secure those 3 points and put in our best effort to score as many goals as possible. In the end, we achieved a clean sheet and now look forward to our next game, continuing our rigorous training for even better results.
This win brings Mavericks within striking distance of Glacis and Beau Vallon, with only three points separating the teams. However, Mavericks have the advantage of one match in hand, making the promotion battle a tightly contested affair. The team’s impressive performance serves as a reminder of their potential and the importance of making strategic moves in the upcoming transfer window.
On the other hand, Mont Buxton United finds themselves at the bottom of the league. Despite this, they have managed to secure one more point than Anse Royale, indicating a slight improvement and a more competitive spirit. It seems that the title of the league’s weakest team may be shifting towards Anse Royale, as Mont Buxton United exhibits a more determined approach.
As the season progresses, Mavericks’ quest for promotion intensifies, while Mont Buxton United aims to climb up the ranks. The match served as a clear testament to Mavericks’ capabilities and the challenges both teams face in their respective campaigns.
