MSG Wins SOMTEL Ramadan Soccer Competitions

Hargeysa, Somaliland, September 3, 2011 (SL Times) – MSG beat Alpha University and won the soccer competition that went on at the May 31 stadium all through the month of Ramadan.
It was a lively game with a large number of spectators. The predominantly young players of Alpah University scored a goal right after the game started, and from then on, controlled the flow of the game. MSG however adjusted its game and counterattacked until it landed an equalizer, and the first half ended in a tie (1-1).
The second half started pretty much like the first one with Alpha University on the attack and repeatedly trying to score but with no luck. MSG players who were more experienced than Alpha’s played at a slower tempo with a lot of passes back and forth and they were finally able to score and lead by 2-1. Things did not end there however, and towards the end of the game, Alpha University scored a goal and the game stayed tied until the scheduled time of the game expired.
After that, the match was decided by penalty kicks, which MSG won.
The games were sponsored by SOMTEL telecommunications company.
