http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?Article=125478&Sn=SPOR&IssueID=28222MANAMA: Bahrain's national soccer reserve team trounced Panama 5-0 in a friendly match last night at the National Stadium here.
Abdulla Al Dikheel, Ahmed Al Hujairi, Mahmood Abbas, Abdulla Al Marzooqi and Abdulrahman Mubarak were on target for the hosts who are gearing up for their 2006 World Cup qualifying playoff against Trinidad and Tobago scheduled on November 12 and 16.
Depleted by the absence of 11 professionals, who are committed to clubs in Qatar and Kuwait, Bahrain's coach Luka Peruzovic had no option but to introduce nine players from the bench while defenders Al Marzooqi and midfielder captain Rashid Al Dossary were the only regular players available.
However, Bahrain showed outstanding co-ordination and harmony throughout the match to claim a well-earned victory.
Panama, on the other hand, who finished bottom in the Concacaf zone of the World Cup qualifiers with just two points from 10 matches, arrived in Bahrain on Wednesday without their professionals who are playing abroad in Colombia and Uruguay, including their star striker Roberto Brown who scored six goals for his country.
The visitors, under their coach Ariel Alvarado who was recently sacked by the Panamanian Football Federation after the team's poor results in the qualifying round, were unable to trouble the hosts and their efforts were foiled by the Bahraini defence of Al Marzooqi, Ebrahim Al Mishkhas and goalkeeper Sayed Mohammed Jaffer.
Bahrain opened their account a minute before half-time through Al Dikheel who collected a long ball from Al Hujairi on the left flank and made a solo effort to beat the Panamanian defence and goalkeeper Jose Calderon.
Sponsored by Batelco, Bahrain stamped their authority in the second-half and came up with a string of attempts by strikers Al Dikheel, Ahmed Hassan and substitute Ismail Abdullatif, but all went abegging.
The Bahrain players then put up an amazing display in the last eight minutes during which they hit four goals much to the delight of the home crowd.
Defender Al Hujairi doubled the lead in the 82nd minute when he pounced on Abbas's shot from inside the box which rebounded off the goalkeeper.
It was 3-0 just a minute later when Abbas finished off a good run on the right with a spectacular shot which beat Panama goalkeeper Calderon.
Al Marzooqi added Bahrain's fourth goal off Al Dossary's cornerkick in the 88th minute and substitute midfielder Abdulrahman Mubarak rounded off the tally with a powerful effort into the roof of the net.
