In what is becoming more and more a two horse race for the title, the aim for Fusion United was to keep pace with the leaders by recording a win over the struggling NEYMAR FC. The game got off to a bad start when Miswan picked up a yellow card after 4 minutes, which means after the card he received in the champions league, sees him out for the next two games for the Clarets.
However, less than a minute later, he atoned for his effort with a fine strike, which after deflecting in off of the crossbar, 1-0 to the Clarets. You had a sense that this was going to be a long day for NEYMAR FC as in the first 5 minutes, the Clarets had 80% possession compared to NEYMAR's 20%.
The Claret's then extended their lead on 37 minutes, after quite frankly camping out in the opposing half. A curling effort for Robbie Keane, his first for the club, put the Clarets 2-0 up and in a promising position to maintain the chase for 1st place.
The half finished with the Clarets camped out in the opposing half, and unable to find the breakthrough to all but seal the game.
The second half started much the same as the first, with the Clarets parked in the half, and as with the first half, Sturridge placed a fine effort into the bottom corner, after 5 minutes, making it 3-0.
90 seconds later, United got their 4th and a 2nd for Miswan, who will be sorely missed for the two games coming up due to his suspension capped a fine move down the wing, getting on the end of a Jamie cross and making it 4-0 to the visitors.
With the game all but sealed, the manager made changes to ensure the fitness of key players and put on Fathy, who in recent weeks has slipped down the pecking order, came on from Sturridge. Also with Miswan out for the next couple of games, preserving Miswan for the games coming up, with Promut coming on to get some match experience, as he will be most likely Miswan's replacement.
After 74 minutes, Al-Selwi combined with Mohammed who teed him up, giving him the simple task of rounding of tapping into an open net. 5-0 Clarets.
The game was over as a contest, with united coasting with the balls, and with "ole" greeting every pass. Into extra time Fabio sealed a great game for the visitors with an injury time goal.
The final whistle sounded, with 80% of the possession to the vistors, the result was never in any doubt after the 4th goal, which puts the visitors on 40 points, 4 points behind PollaFC, who recorded a 6-0 win at home to WindowsFC. Final result NEYMAR FC 0 - 6 Fusion United.
