Cameroon Delight for Safa After Thrashing Minnows Majed

A double-delight by Cameroon ace Marius Pietnick helped Safa to claim an expected (4-1) large victory over relegated outfits Majed, in the 21st Week of league action.

This was Safa's fourth consecutive win in both League and Cup competitions under the helm of new manager Ghassan Abou Diab, a very precious victory shooting the side to the fourth spot, their best-ever this season.

Safa are currently boasting 29 points from 21 fixtures, trailing third-ranked Akha-Ahly by 4 points following their provincial side's (1-0) loss to newly-crowned league champions Nijmeh on Saturday.

Majed, who couldn't stand the heat of the too-demanding top flight, were no match for their opponents throughout the game, holding on till the 16th minute to concede the first goal as Pietnick nodded home from a sitter after being set up by Chadi Al-Chami, despite the helpless efforts by central defender Camara.The Cameroon forward aggravated the score line in the 61st minute through a powerful header past keeper Nassif Atwi, nine minutes before Senegalese defender Hashem Kandoura pulled a goal back from the spot. Veteran striker Walid Dahrouj scored his fourth goal in the last 5 matches for Safa, in the 71st minute, from a scrambled goalmouth, before Chadi Al-Chami completed the rout in the 90th minute, courtesy of a diving header following a neat cross by international versatile defender Ahmed Al-Naamani.
