Second Half Control and Squad Rotation
The second half saw Banaat maintain control while rotating the squad. Ghanima and Lizz were introduced at the restart, followed by Rayana shortly after the hour mark.
Despite DXB FC dropping deeper defensively, Banaat continued to create chances. Making her debut for Banaat FC, Lizz made an immediate impact in the 63rd minute, heading home from another well-delivered corner by Hannah to score her first goal for the club.
Servi extended the lead in the 68th minute, calmly converting from the penalty spot. Caye then added her second of the match in the 71st minute, reacting quickest during a scramble inside the box.

Caye completed the scoring in the 89th minute with an impressive volley, connecting cleanly with another cross from Ghanima to seal a comprehensive 15–0 victory.
Post-Match Reflections
Coach Kevin reflected on both the team’s strong performance and areas for improvement:
“The players delivered some excellent moments of play that led to some well-taken goals. That said, I felt we overplayed at times instead of taking the shot. This was in the second half while trying to break down DXB, who were defending deep into their half.
It was great to see some important milestones for our team, with Servi, Hannah, Salha, and Lizz all scoring their first goals for the club.
Finally, it was fantastic to welcome one of our amazing players back — Rayana. We are getting stronger week by week and building good momentum.”
Looking Ahead
With another dominant result, Banaat FC continue to build strong momentum as the season progresses and strengthen their position in the title race.
Attention now turns to their upcoming fixture against UAE Juniors, on Friday 17th, where the team will look to carry forward their attacking form and continue their push for the top spot.
