Suffolk 1-5 Samba
The Samba Boys were in decent form Sunday night on Long Island as they held off a Suffolk County team in a flattering scoreline.
Samba struck first from a driven free kick by Khadim Thiam before the hosts struck back almost immediately. Two set pieces saw KidSuper increase the lead to 3-1 with Fulani goals from captain Mamoudou Dioubate and Mamadou Balde. Young goalkeeper Ronaldo Fatolou, playing injured, saved a Suffolk penalty to maintain the lead at 3-1 going into the intermission.
As the game opened up in the second half, Samba were wasteful to only score two goals. Rijon Harrison and Mamadou Bah found the net for the visitors from the city.
