Adecco MOM BEFC vs Vagabonds - Alo Sakk

  • Adecco BEFC Man of the Match Award - Alo Säkk

Despite a number of regulars out of action, BEFC continued their winning run against a determined BFC Vagabonds team, who parked a formidable bus and threw down the challenge to try and break through it. A frustrating match, set up to be frustrating by the opponent took a lot of patience and discipline to stay determined and eventually reap the rewards.

Alo Säkk played another excellent game for BEFC on Saturday against a Vagabonds team that tried to sit deep and then hit on the counter attack or take advantage of set-plays. He was strong on the ball and refused to lose possession, whilst also being able to press the ball and win tackles when BEFC didn't have the ball. Alo's biggest positive in this game however was his attack play and link-up with Kentaro Takahashi, which helped them bag two goals each. After Vagabonds missed their quite questionable penalty, Alo broke the deadlock and rewarded the team's constant first-half pressure and possession. Taking advantage of a loose ball in the box, he smashed a shot into the far corner. BEFC deserved more goals but it took until the last quarter of the game to get more when Säkk and Takahashi added to their tallies as the Vagabonds started to tire. Alo again applying pressure and taking advance of some sloppy defending at the back to finish calmly for his second. It was plain sailing from then on but Alo's work rate never slowed and he was always trying to create or score more goals to help the score line reflect our overall performance - making Alo Säkk the BEFC Man of the Match versus BFC Vagabonds.
