Hillingdon Heath vs ridwan FC

Match Report
The Heath was at its 800 fan capacity today to watch 1st and 2nd duke it out. With the championship already in the bag, Hillingdon Heath were playing to keep their dream of winning all 26 league games alive. Meanwhile, ridwan FC were battling to maintain their position with the in-form Team Arab breathing down their necks.

Hillingdon Heath got the game off to a bright start with some early chances before Van Quyet found a gap in the ridwan defence and slipped a timely ball for Wachowski to finish with no hesitation on 10 minutes. By the 22nd minute, star striker Rotem Srur found another gap in the ridwan defence but fell to an Mba foul, which earned him a straight red. The ever reliable right back Shady El Mahs converted the spot kick to add salt to ridwan's 10-man wounds. It was 3-0 just minutes later as dribbling right midfielder Stephen Lokman turned his marker and found himself in acres of space to score in emphatic style.

Fans on both sides will be wondering what happened after that. ridwan, without any manager input, defended incredibly well and even put the Hillingdon defence to the sword. César Escobar Fretes was called into action multiple times to stop free kicks and corners; giving yet another assured performance. Hillingdon constantly threatened in return but were frustratingly halted in their tracks by the ever present ridwan defence before the game came to a close.
