Buruj boys lost their first away league match at Laspotech

Buruj boys were threatening in possession but Jesus Link FC team are ruthless in attack, as proved when their striker doubled their lead six minutes later, heading in at the far post from a superb cross.
Buruj Sports Academy skipper Noah Salaudeen missed a headed chance and Jesus Link FC saw a shot deflected on to the post as he tried to find a foothold admist the opponent but it was all over six minutes after the break when their forward pinpoint delivery lured James Acha into a critical moment of hesitation and he headed in.
