Final Four teams contend for Title
The stage is set for the semi-finals matchup between MFC (A) and DC Eagles (A), as well as Invincible Eagles (A) and DC Eagles (B). The games are scheduled to kick-off simultaneously at 8:30am on Saturday morning and going by all the great goals and come-back wins from last weekends Group games, the semi-finals is guaranteed to be an exciting affair.
The group games produced some surprises and incredible displays of resilience from Teams and individuals who rose to the occasion. MFC continues to have a good run, without conceding any goals to date. As such, their first-choice keeper, Shakir Olakukan, is currently in the running for the top goal-keeper award. Invincible Eagles also continues to demonstrate their strength in attack with the prior season and current goal scorer, Cyrus Harmon, in the lead with 5 goals. DC Eagles Teams A and B are both deservedly in the semi-finals, with strong tactical displays and individual players who have demonstrated outstanding performances to date – particularly Emmanuel Isaac who has scored 2 excellent goals.
The winner of both groups will play the finals on the same day.
