In some of the results of games played on Saturday, Aston Villa of Kaltungo overpowered D-Professionals 4-2 to kick-start their campaign with a win.
Aston Villa were the favourite going into the game and they deservedly took the lead just two minutes into the game, but their celebration was cut short when D-Professionals equalised just a minute later.
Aston Villa’s Usman Moh’d fired in a low shot to restore their advantage again. But D- Professional took control of the game thereafter and it paid off as John Toro rounded Villa’s keeper to slot in the equalizer before going into the halftime break.
The Professional piled up more pressure on Villa but it was the latter who took the lead once again after making a double substitution. Usman Moh’d scored his second goal of the day after sending in a thunderous shot for Villa’s third goal before he tabbed in a low cross to complete his hat-trick.
