EARLY AND OFTEN
Previously, in RMU's latest match at Green Bay, John Paul Mbuthia rocketed in the team's quickest goal of the season. He scored just 62 seconds into the match. William Dodzi Afawubo crossed in a ball into the box from midfield off a free-kick. After the Phoenix failed to clear the pressure out, Mbuthia picked up the ball at the edge of the box and slotted a nice shot into the net. Mbuthia's goal is the second fastest goal to start a game in program history. The quickest happened back in 2003 at Saint Francis, as Said Ali scored 59 seconds into the game.
