Present on all balls before the defense, SINKALA has made big impression
D1, DAY 3 : WINNERS OF DON BOSCO 2-0
Linafoot, Ravens come to the fore
October 2, 2015
By winning 2-0 against Don Bosco on Wednesday in Kamalondo thanks to ASANTE (35th) and ASSALE (81st on penalty), the TPM takes the lead of the group of Centre-South zone with 6 points and a better difference of 5 goals. A result that gave players confidence who have not played much lately, it just few days before the semi-final of the C1.
Three days before the semi-final of the C1, the TPM found the Temple of Badiangwenas this Wednesday, September 30 on the occasion of the 3rd day of the Linafoot. And against the Salesians authors of a scary start of the season, the Black and White, the image of a group that wants to confirm before the decisive appointment Sunday October 4th, will quickly put into action. Jonathan BOLINGI, after 51 seconds, gives the first warning; his header fails on the bar. Warning no cost to Don Bosco anyway...
The match, which started at 120 km/h on the Ravens' side, was slowed down by the playing strength in midfield. At this level, the Salesians seem to draw their pin game in winning duels but they are unable to pass the two defensive curtains of Ravens. Nathan SINKALA, very spirited, and Given SINGULUMA supported by Solomon and Richard ASANTE KISSI BOATENG block well Landu MIETTE and Hervé KAMBA allowing the duo KIMWAKI - BOPE to be quiet, and to partition the front center of the Salesians, the giant Malian Lassana DIARRA. For their part, until the half hour of the game where the scoreboard shows 0-0, and Joe ISSAMA and KABASO CHONGO beyond their presence in defense, are also very offensive.
Scarf Coup of Solomon ASANTE
While Don Bosco tries a counterattack trying to pass on the right side, Nathan SINKALA arises and regularly retrieves the ball from the feet of landu MIETTE. Then it goes for the combination of Football School: SINKALA- BOLINGI-SINGULUMA to-one touch of the ball with a lot of ease in duplication: and on a depth Salomon ASANTE is on orbit. From a footballing malice, he lobe KABEYA the goalkeeper who had the idea to anticipate the pass of Given SINGULUMA. What a spectacular goal greeted in person by some two thousand spectators.
Mazembe will end the first half on another attempt of the scorer Solomon ASANTE but this time his shot is rejected by the goalkeeper KABEYA. Neither Richard KISSI BOATENG even less Jonathan BOLINGI will not anticipate the defensive withdrawal of the Salesians!
From the break, with the rise of Thomas ULIMWENGU, Roger Claver ASSALE and Christian Koffi KOUAME instead respectively Solomon ASANTE, Yannick TUSILU and Joël KIMWAKI the face of the game will change. But these are the Salesians who will be enterprising. A real fright in the 53rd in Mazembe camp. On a deviation by the chest of the giant Malian Don Bosco, Lassana DIARRA, the ball of Landu MIETTE fails on the right post of Sylvain GBOHOUO. What a huge opportunity of the Salesians!
Substitutes gave new clues to CARTERON
With players determined to make a head spin to the staff for the next team composition against Al Merreikh, the ULIMWENGU-BOLINGI-ASSALE trio will torment the Salesian defense without being specific during the last pass. And finally in the 81st that the Ivorian international, Roger Claver ASSALE, will show his teammates the way forward. Yellow card to MASENGO who tackled him in his momentum. The TPM number 7 made the sentence justice turning; the ball is under the bar, 2-0.
The score could still be salted if Thomas ULIMWENGU concluded alone at the far post a right ball Jonathan BOLINGI and if the latter had not sent a header on the post at the end of the game.
Patrice CARTERON's men therefore provide the most in winning all three points of the victory, synonymous of the first place in the partial classification. With six points as Sanga Balende winner over the promoted Ocean Pacific (1st day) and Group Bazano (2nd day), the Ravens have a better goal difference (+5).
