Bath City FC emerged victorious in an exhilarating National League clash against St Albans, thanks in part to the standout performance of English attacker James Alabi, who hails from Ghana.
Both teams started the game with a clear determination to establish their authority on the field. St Albans initially enjoyed more possession but struggled to create scoring opportunities due to the tenacious defense of Bath City.
In contrast, Bath City posed a threat whenever they moved forward and showed clinical finishing in front of the goal. The breakthrough came just before halftime when Tom Smith capitalized on a defensive error from St Albans, calmly converting a well-worked move down the left flank. Bath City continued their dominance in the second half, with Richard Chin taking advantage of another defensive mistake to double their lead.
James Alabi further extended Bath City’s lead with a spectacular header in the dying moments of the game, showcasing his aerial ability. Despite a late goal from Shaun Jeffers for St Albans, Bath City secured a well-deserved victory. Alabi’s exceptional performance and Bath City’s overall display of skill and composure were instrumental in securing the win in a thrilling match.
