Said Aboubakar’s brace and a goal each from Hassan Charo, Patrick
Issak and Swaleh Ali helped Yanga thrash Young Stars 5-3 in an entertaining
thriller on the ongoing National Beach Games at Old Buntuwani Waterfront Park
in Malindi.
Salim Ali scored two quick fire goals for Young Stars after
going down 2-0 to level the scoreline, but Aboubakar inspired his side to
victory for setting up Issak for the third goal.
Young Stars also had two glorious opportunities after the
break but failed to convert the clear-cut chances, with the defeat knocking
them out of the tournament.
Yanga captain Stephen Iha said their experienced players
were instrumental in grinding out the victory, adding that they had to do it in
the most difficult circumstances.
In a women’s match, Malindi Queens beat Diani Queens 4-3 on
penalties after a 2-2 draw in regulation time.
