Fast Track

By:Ebereuche Faithful-El Chinazor


Good morning and Welcome to Fast Track, a sport programme that would
be on from now hence forth on this blog. I am your host and I'll be
bringing you all the juicy sport stories both in school, on the
national and international scenes.

In the Lawsa league, as most of you may already know, 016 beat 017 3-1
on penalties after a 1-1 regulation time draw on Thursday. On friday,
019 defeated 018 2-1 thus knocking 018 out of the competition. 017 as
the best looses join 106; 019 and 015 in the semi finals. I have no
official word on the semi final pairings, when I do, you'll hear about
it.

On the National scene, Nigeria opened her account at the men's U-20
world cup this morning on a loosing note going down 2-4 to Brazil in
the early hours of today. In the other game in Nigeria's group,
Hungary thrashed North Korea 5-1. In other matches that took place
today, Germany hammered Fiji 8-1, and Uzbekistan narrowly lost 3-4 to
Honduras. Nigeria's next match is on Thursday against North Korea as
Brazil and Hungary meet in the top of the table clash.

On the International scene, Arsenal won the F.A cup with a 4-0
thrashing of Aston Villa on Saturday. Wolfsburg ended Jurgen Klop's
Dortmund career in Defeat as they triumphed 3-1 over BVB in the German
Cup Final. A Lionel Messi double and another goal from Neymar were
enough to hand Barcelona a 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the
Copa Del Rey Final. Edinson Cavani scored the lone goal as PSG won the
French Cup with a 1-0 win over Auxerre and Iverness Carlidonian
Thistle won the Scottish cup with a narrow 2-1 win over Falkirk.

In preseason games, tommorow Chelsea take on Sydney FC. Sydney earlier
lost 1-0 to both Manchester City and Tottenham over the weekend. On a
final note, the transfer window is open today and I will be keeping
you up to date with all the deals going in as they are confirmed.

That is all for fast track this morning, see you all next time, I
still remain your host Ebereuche FC saying stay yourself and stay out
of trouble, bye for now.
