OLIM LEAGUE
ENGLAND FC 3 AVIV CITY 1
A convincing victory for England FC saw them leapfrog their rivals in the Olim League table, in what was a dress rehearsal for the upcoming cup semi-final between the two sides, which is scheduled to take place in two weeks time.
The first half was a fairly uneventful affair with neither team managing to breakdown the other’s defence. When called upon, England FC’s keeper, Roy Meron and Aviv City’s, Rob Bradman, made a number of decent saves, but in truth neither goalie had much to do in the first 45.
All the action took place after the break, with the introduction of Chad Waldman changing the game in favour of England. The American-born striker was full of pace and intent when he became the lone striker and his efforts were quickly rewarded when he linked up with Motti Colman to give England the lead. The goal tally was soon doubled as Roy Bihi-Zehou characteristically headed his side’s second of the night.
