AN 85TH MINUTES WINNER BY MALANG SARR SAW AFC TUBIZE MAINTAINED THEIR PERFECT RECORD TO THE SEASON.
An 85th minute powerful long range shot by Malang Sarr proved enough to see off manager Kali Chima's side Nancy Lorraine as Tubize snatched a narrow and well deserved 3 points to move them up above the second position team Charlton Athletic, with just 2 points separating them. With that win away from home, Tubize are now unbeaten in their last 5 matches, winning a record of five consecutive wins without a loss in the process.
The match seemed to be heading towards a draw game. However, Tubize went on to surprise and shock the home fans with Sarr collecting the ball from AS Nancy slackly Defenders who has serious issues with concentration at the back. Powering in a sublime long range shot at the edge of the box to gift his team a much needed win.
Manager @Kaybee Kabir in a short post match interview said ' I'm fully satisfied and happy with this point, it really shows the efforts and how determined we put in to this match. This is just another step for the team, Hopefully we will try and keep the record of staying unbeaten throughout the season''. On Malang Sarr's goal: 'For me personally, that will surely be a contender for the goal of the season. Its such a wonderful goal by Sarr but Overall, I'm satisfied with his performance today, he's such a wonderful player and a great addition to the team but I believe he still have a lot to offer us. AFC Tubize next match will be against one of the league favorite Charlton Athletic who are also unbeaten in their last 5 outings. Winning 4 matches and drawing one. The both teams alongside KSC Lokeren are only the unbeaten teams remaining in the top flight. However, as Charlton Athletic and Lokeren had both drawn in their previous matches respectively, Tubize remains the only side who have only managed to win all their last five matches played.
On the other hand, manager kalu chima had this to say after their loss against the league leaders. He said: '' The Away team, Tubize were simply better in this game, we had our chances but unfortunately we couldn't take them. I see a lot of excuses from other managers as to why they didn't win, but there were no excuses for us today. The game is over and we have shifted our focus already on our next to Daknamstadion, against KSC Lokeren who are also unbeaten in the League. So we must improve if we are to get a result, restore our dignity and generally compete in this Game World.''
