MOGADISHU, July 7, 2012 -In what was dubbed as the ‘hottest’ match since Somalia’s 2012 division A soccer league began in Mogadishu a month ago, the defending champions Elman FC have on Friday hit their Heegan FC rival by a 3-0 defeat that lead Heegan to despair of its ambitions of taking the lead of the tournament. 

Friday’s match attracted the largest crowds yet to be seen at a Somali soccer stadium for the past several years. Somali state minister for sport Abdullahi Sheik Ali, veteran diplomat Mohamed Ahmed Alim, SFF president Ali Said Guled Rooble, Secretary General Abdi Qani Said Arab and other officials were among Friday’s match spectators.

 The match was too hot and each team was struggling to accumulate the three points that a win of a football game brings, but the Match ended 3-0 in favor of Elman FC. Abdi Karin Abokar Nur scored the first goal for his team from a penalty kick award in the 10^th minute of the first half, while Abdi Aziz Mohamed Ali scored the second goal in the 42^nd minute of the same half.

It was the first goal for Abdi Aziz since the competition started a month ago. Last year the striker was the top scorer of Somali league, but unfortunately Friday’s goal was the first for him in this season. However Elman’s Awil Abdi Hussein made the match 3-0 in the 67^th minute of the second half of the match.

Mean while, on Thursday Jeenyo humiliated Badbaado FC by 4-0 to become in the 3^rd place of the competition after Elman and Heegan, while Badbaado FC is in the lowest position after it was defeated all matches it played.

However according to the schedules of the competition Saturday and Sunday will be rest days, while the Banadir Sports club will take on Sahafi FC on Monday.
