Congratulations to Turan Dubai our Division 3 Champions.🏆
In their second season in DAFL they shadowed front runners Condado all the way to the final match of the season, a winner takes all clash at Jebel Ali Centre of Excellence. After a cagey opening half hour the match burst into life when Turan beat the Condado off side trap and Sunatullo Rahimov rolled a right footed strike into the bottom corner past the despairing dive of Khalid Ahmed. A shell shocked Condado conceded a second to Rahimov only minutes later as he advanced from midfield and let loose a stinging drive that swerved in the air on its way into the net. Condado threw everything they had at Turan in the second half and had possession and chances but Azamat Kholmatov took advantage of a tiring Condado defence late in the game to drive home a third goal sparking wild celebrations from the Turan players and supporters. The Uzbekistan flags waved long into the night as the Turan players enjoyed their league title success with family and friends. Commiserations to Condado who were many peoples favourite to win the league in their first season in DAFL and certainly deserve their promotion to the DAFL Championship alongside Turan.
A great night of football played in a fantastic sporting atmosphere. Huge appreciation and thanks to both teams for making it a memorable Division 3 title race.
See you all next season!
