Fatho works to regain National Team spot: scores and assists in Maziya’s win

Ahmed Aiham (Fatho) contributed significantly to Maziya's 3-0 victory over Victory by scoring a goal and providing an assist in the Dhiraagu Dhivehi Premier League match held this afternoon.

The past international break was a tough week for Maziya midfielder Aiham, who faced heavy criticism. He was dropped from the national team after participating in a futsal tournament while having been selected for the senior squad. Last Friday, Aiham issued an apology for the incident, admitting that his conduct was inappropriate and vowing to work hard to regain his place in the national team.

The league resumed today after the international break with the match between Maziya and Victory. Aiham scored Maziya's second goal.

The opening goal came from a corner kick taken by Aiham, which Spanish forward Sergio Iglesias headed into the net in the 37th minute. Maziya's Second Goal scored by Aiham after a smooth one-two pass exchange with Hassan Nazim (Chottey). Aiham passed the ball to Chottey outside the box and then surged into the area. Chottey returned the ball, and Aiham dribbled past Victory's Uzbek defender Javokhir Azamov before firing the ball into the goal.

This marks Aiham's third goal this season and his second in the league. He had previously scored in the season-opening match against Eagles and in a league match against Valencia.

Maziya's third and final goal was scored by Haisham Hassan (Bidi), assisted by Naiz Hassan (Dhaadhu). Dhaadhu passed the ball from outside the box into the area, where Haisham ran onto it and slotted it into the bottom corner of the Victory goal.

Maziya has maintained its winning streak across all matches played this season. This was their ninth match overall and eighth league match. Maziya now sits at the top of the league table with 24 points.
