Match Results Day 1 Season 26

[Kemal]

To start of the season, Snaken got a flying start with a convincing 4-0 win over co-promotor FC Warriors. Best thing of the match was that the ratings were decent, who knows I might even get to cup round 3 this year, with some luck.

In the 18th minute Dunthorpe's Jye Landers head butted an opponent nastily, and so the referee sent him off immediately. Rod Gandy was just a finger´s breadth away from an equaliser for Dunthorpe, but Eko Refkivanza managed to ward the closing shot off for a corner. Seemingly due to lack of experience, Taylor Tuilagi needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed.

The terraces were silenced in the 32nd minute as Marlins´s Mohammad Ibrahim put the guests ahead 1 - 2, following an attack from the right.
