The win was not just a matter of three points, rather a huge moral boosting victory for popular Coach Kassaye Arage and the upcoming young talents that are under heavy pressure from club supporters. It was a heyday to goal hunter Abubakar who bagged a hat trick to take his goal tally to eight. “I don’t think the players are to feel easy from now onwards for the trophy hungry supporters are no more to listen to lame excuses after Tuesday’s huge victory,” suggested a former Bunna player.
A foreign Coach, three foreign players and five of the country’s best strikers in the squad, St George had had every fire power to return home with all three points. But amazing Bunna not only won the game 3-1 and missed from the penalty spot. But in full domination of the show once Matasi left the field with red card just 15 minutes into the game.
