The Somali military-owned football club, Horseed FC is celebrating for its first win in the ongoing Nation Link Telecom championship after they humilated their Savana FC rivals by 3-1 on Monday.

Savana were committed to winning Monday’s match and so, were Horseed, who successfully made it to happen during a competitive match which was the first of five consecutive matches that resulted in Horseed’s first win in the country’s most populous sporting event.

Yusuf Mohamed Dirie, gave Horseed an 18-minute lead when he just scored the opener goal for his team who celebrated their second goal in the 25th minute that was scored by Abdulkader Mohiyaddin Hassan. The first half of the match ended in 2-0 with Horseed having the lead.

In the 48th minute of the second half, Yusuf Mohamed Dirie scored the 3rd goal from a penalty kick award making the match 3-0 in favour of Horseed.

Savana seemed to have somehow regained their lost hopes when Ali Ahmed Siyad scored the lone goal for his team in the 73rd of the second half and in the aftermath of the little bit move forward, Savana stepped up their attacks on the opposite goal, but unfortunately lost a golden chance when they were unsuccessful to score from a penalty kick awarded to them in the 89th minute of the match.

However, Horseed left with their first three points from Monday’s match, as they climbed on the 5th place of the country’s league table. According to the schedules of the competition Dekedda will take on Gaadiidka on Tuesday, while Jeenyo FC will encounter Heegan on Thursday, as the defending champions Elman FC will play against Horseed on Friday.
