Half time: Colombo FC 2 – 0 Civil Security
Second half was all about missed opportunities for Colombo FC. Civil Security tried to make a comeback to the game but their lackluster performance in the field did not let them make any inroads in the match.
Zarwan Johar and skipper Raumi Mohideen played vital roles throughout the match for Colombo FC.
Olayemi completed his hatrick in the 73rd minute through another combined effort from their attacking midfielders. Bodrie Dimitri’s absence was not felt on the attacking nature of football which Colombo FC showed in the field.
In the 84th minute U.Madusanka received a straight red card which was clearly caused by the frustration which was building right throughout due to the lackluster performance from Civil Security showed in the match.

Really happy with the victory today. We started off bad this year but now we have two wins under our name. Our only concern is that our inability to put the finishing touches right, so going forward we would work on that and get better.
