New Star v Serendib
Mohamed Fazal produced an inspirational performance bagging a brace as New Star defeated Serendib 2-1 in a high stakes encounter in Group A in the Sri Lanka Football Champions League at the Racecourse Stadium.
In a potential group top deciding encounter both sides named a strong starting eleven. New Star controlled the game with veterans Nadeeka Pushpakumara and Fazal in midfield. They had a few chances but were not able to convert.
Serendib looked out of sorts, losing out on possession frequently and never had a vision in attack.
Half Time: New Star 0 – 0 Serendib
Soon after the break, New Star took the lead through Fazal in the 52nd minute before Vijayakumar Abishan equalized for Serendib in the 64th minute.
With the game seemingly heading towards a draw deep into added time it was Fazal’s brilliance that gave New Star the winner, when his free-kick bounced off the upright and into the goal.
Full Time: New Star 2 – 1 Serendib
- Player of the Match – Mohamed Fazal (New Star)
