- Counterattack Precision: Single goal derived from 3-pass sequence covering 68 yards
- Tactical Fouling: 14 ‘professional’ fouls disrupting Damatola’s rhythm (2 yellow cards worth every suspension)
The winning moment? A 54th-minute set-piece that would make Tony Pulis weep - center-back [PLAYER] out-jumping two markers despite being 5’9” on a good day.

- Emotional Control: Zero reactions to provocation despite 28 fouls suffered
- Energy Management: Covered 112km as a unit - remarkable for midday African heat
Their next test? [UPCOMING OPPONENT]. If they replicate this structural integrity while adding [IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED], Europe’s scouts might start booking flights to Maputo.
