Housham Star of the show

Going into this match Mighty Mojos were on a high after conquering promotion chasing Dream Team in their last match as Alsancak F.C traveled to Mojo Arena following their win over EspĂ…da.

The match started with a bang, just 1 minute in Richard Stearman headed towards goal but hit the corner of the upright. 3 minutes later and Gabriel Agbonlahor saw a great diving header effort of his fly over the crossbar. In the 10 minute Rory Burston headed towards goal but Housham saved it with ease. 2 minutes later after having absorbed some early presure from Alsancak F.C young gun Myles Allott headed well wide for the Mojos. In the 22 minute Darius Mossley smashed a long ranged effort towards goal but Cirkovic stoped the shot. 6 minutes later and Andrew Taylor curled a fine free kick towards goal but Housham produced a fine save. 3 minutes later the Mojos had a dangerious freekick, Michel Montolio's effort though going wide for a goal kick. In the 41st minute the Mojos had another freekick this time a fine pass found Myles Allott who headed towards goal and scored. 1-0 up now but late on in the 44th minute Lee Cattermole dived in on goal but his diving header went wide. At half time the score remained 1-0 to the home side.

As the second half got underway it was the visitors that looked more likely of scoring and just 2 minutes after the restart Rory Burston vollyed on goal but
Housham produced another fine save and was able to catch the ball. In the 63rd minute Gabriel Agbonlahor found himself in a one-on-one following a swift breakaway move and tried to round Housham but he forced him wide and his effort clipped the outside of the post more fine goalkeeping from Housham. In the 67th minute Alsancak F.C's day took a turn for the worse as Gabriel Agbonlahor was unable to continue. In the 77th minute Daley Hacker was subbed off after looking fragile on the pitch. In the 80th minute the Mojos had their first meaningful attack of the second half, Abraham Axhorn had a chance to double the home sides lead but his effort sailed high over the bar. The visitora would then waste 2 good chances late on first in the 87th minute as Andrew Taylor late freekick missed by a metre and again 3 minutes into time added on Fraizer Campbell was found in space following a freekick but his shot was well saved by Housham. It finished 1-0 to the Mojos as Joshy celebrated back to back victories after the match he had this to say...

" It was a close first half and pretty even so i was happy to go in 1-0 up. The second half we absorb a lot of pressure but Housham was excellent today. Our whole defence today was first class and this win is just as good as last weeks win. Next we travel to current league leaders at The Western. As nothing is certain at the top yet maybe we can throw another spanner in the works. To end on another positive i am proud to anounce Mighty Mojos have signed young Justino Parreira for a fee of 4,475,400 Econ we are egar to see him in action. "
