Brent’s Under-12 boys’ squad moved into third place in the Regents’ Park Youth League after an emphatic 6-0 victory over Camden Elite Soccer.
Brent started solidly, dealing with attacking pressure and recycling the ball to play out. There was a missed chance for Dhyan in the 12th minute, but he became the provider for Brent’s first goal in the 17th minute. This was scored by Bernardo, who received a cut back pass on the penalty spot and placed it into the bottom right corner.
Dhyan was causing the Camden team a lot of problems on the left and was taken out in the penalty area for a penalty which Danny slotted away in the 24th minute.
Camden took control at the start of the second half and caused a fingertip save from goalkeeper Thiago, who pushed a fierce shot over the crossbar. Having dealt well with an early kick-off, Brent added a third goal in the 45th minute when Adam came off the bench to score. The team’s fourtth goal came direct from a corner thanks to a good delivery by Dhyan who beat the goalkeeper at his near post.
The last two goals came in quick succession thanks to some brilliant pressing from Zak and Darwaish who helped Fabian score in the bottom left corner in the 57th minute, swiftly followed by a neatly despatched finish by Caspar into the bottom right corner assisted by Zak.
After the match, Brent coach Liam Chinn remarked: “I am very proud of the boys. They played some great football and are improving with every game”.
