IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS ALL GOING COVENTRY’S WAY AGAIN LAST NIGHT (HAVING WON 9 OUT OF THEIR PREVIOUS 11 HOME GAMES) WITH THEIR MATCH AGAINST SUNDERLAND, MAKING 453 PASSES, WITH AN 82% PASS ACCURACY, (AND 74% POSSESSION), PLUS 14 SHOTS, WITH 3 ON TARGET INCLUDING A STUNNING EQUALISER AT 70 MINS. FROM THEIR SUPERSTAR RUDONI! SUNDERLAND MADE 164 PASSES WITH A 59% PASS ACCURACY AND HAD 10 SHOTS WITH 3 ON TARGET, INCLUDING A CRACKER FROM WILSON ISIDOR AT 68 MINS., SO IT WAS 1 – 1 FOR QUITE A WHILE! BUT THEN, AT 88 MINS., AFTER A BEWILDERING BACK-PASS FROM MILAN VAN EWIJK, WHERE THE BALL LOOKED LIKE IT HAD NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO GO (IT CERTAINLY WASN’T GOING TO REACH-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET WITH THAT FORCE AND DISTANCE FROM GOAL), MAYENDA LITERALLY KNICKED THE BALL AND RAN WITH IT AT LIGHTNING SPEED, HITTING-THE-BACK-OF-THE NET WITH THE MOST SUPERB STRIKE, MUCH TO THE DELIGHT OF THE 2,400 TRAVELLING SUNDERLAND FANS! NOT ONLY DID MAYENDA SCORE THE WINNING GOAL YESTERDAY, BUT IT WAS ALSO HIS BIRTHDAY, TURNING 20 YEARS OLD! CONGRATULATIONS AND MANY HAPPY RETURNS MAYENDA!🎂
