Mahanaim FC were at their usual best on Saturday, as they found the back of the net 4-times against familia foes Strikers Hub at Mahanaim Arena.
Mahanaim attackers fired on all cylinders without leaving a room for players in other departments to get on the score sheet. It was a first goal delight for Strikers Odenigbo Emmanuel and Yusuf Adigun who scored their first official goals for the club, while Mamoudou Batchily and Usama Shuaibu delivered expected performances.
Mahanaim led at halftime 1-nil, after Emmanuel put the hot boys ahead midway through the opening 45 minutes. Several chances were missed thereafter but the boys came back with bangers in the second half.
Usama Shuaibu rewarded himself with a well taken penalty which he also won, early in the second half, to double the lead. Usama was also involved as Yusuf Adigun got his first goal for the club.
Prolific goalscorer Mamoudou Batchily scored the 4th goal after getting on the end of a cross from Usama as the Hot Boys ran rampage. However, a slight loss of concentration in defense proved costly as the boy gave away a penalty before conceding yet another goal.
Hot Boys created more chances thereafter but were unlucky not to get a fifth goal, as the match ended 4-2 in favour of Mahanaim FC.
