Bbakka cites teamwork for first goal of the season, Umeå star performance

Uganda Cranes striker David Alexis Bbakka was on target as Umeå played to a one all draw with visiting Akropolis IF during the Suppertan at the Umeå Energi Arena in  Västerbotten County, Northern Sweden.

The big framed Ugandan center forward raced onto Enis Ahmetovic’s through ball before he expertly finished past Akropolis IF goalkeeper Samuel Brolin with a well-timed left footed effort.

As the ball hit the lower post bottom and bounced into the net, Bbakka ran to the corner flag where he was joined by teammates for the celebrations in the 55^th minute which were unfortunately cancelled out with Adhavan Rajamohan’s 88^th minute penalty.

Bbakka has since lauded his fellow teammates for the goal scored and the star performance that earned him the man of the match performance.

“I dedicate the goal to the team. Football is a team sport.” Bbakka, a soft spoken persona disclosed to Kawowo Sports moments after the game.

Umeå were unfortunate not to take the lead in the first half when Ismail Dillan missed a penalty during the opening stanza.

Founded in 1987, Umeå with their US born coach Brian Clarhaut will thus eye the next game at hand.

Bbakka confessed setting the targets for the next match in line away to AFC Eskilstuna at the Tunavallen Stadium.
