NETHERLANDS-based Zambian striker Jacob Mulenga was named man of the match when his side FC Utrecht’s faced English premiership giants Liverpool in a Europa League Group K encounter yesterday that ended in a barren draw.
Mulenga put in a splendid performance upfront against a flawless Liverpool defense comprising the likes of Jamie Carragher and Martin Kelly.
The lofty Mulenga however missed a clear scoring chance after he managed to dribble his way out of Liverpool’s defense fringes and practically eluded the goalkeeper too but patted the ball wide.
Liverpool were favourites in the game despite the outfits’ wallowing in a stretch of poor results lately and yesterday match was no exception as the reds were halted by the Dutch side.
Liverpool danger man, Fernando Torres whose form has been questionable this season, also did not impress.
Congrats young man !
Ubifi mambala alebuzazafye mailo uyu,man of the match kwisa?
watched part of the last 20mins…he looked dangerous but both teams seemed happy with a draw. good for him…
Congrates Jacob at least you have put Zed on top unlike kapoli shetani cycle nkonkomalimba sata and his vuvuzela da post.
l watched the game just wondering who named him man of the match
watched the game, it was uninspiring – but Jacob did put in a couple of “wicked” crosses and really should have buried that last chance
Whatever!!!! I say well done Jack, you are doing good for yourself and the nation. God bless you whether you are man of the match or not, am proud of you.
Jacob played well though it was a pretty boring match.
This showed his prowess would not be surprised to see an English club signing him. Great that people could watch their own on television. Zambians learn to appreciate hard work and effort. He is a working man and that counts for alot of things.
#2 didn’t watch the game get yourself a dstv.
Thanx to chiluba tvs are now accesible and you can watch football
well done jacob,continue with the hardwork coz this is just the begining.; pliz guys dnt politics into this.
MMMMMMMM ba LT a quick google check will tell you Pepe Reina was man of the match not Jacob Mulenga although he played well, or was he LT man of the match
Jacob is a disciplined boy, even when he was doing motorcross at KPF he did well. If only the older Zambian players can lead by example. This chap will go far! Well done Jacob representing Riverside,Kitwe,Zambia!
