THE Journey has started,” remarked Chipolopolo striker Fashion Sakala after scoring on his debut for Saudi Arabia side Al Fayha on Saturday.

Sakala has settled at Al Fayha like fish in water after,swimming straight into the first 11 and marking his start to life in oil land with a goal and an assist.

His dream debut did not end there, after the match he was named man of the match.

Sakala’s side were home to Al Khaleej.

Al Fayha took the lead inside the first 19 minutes when Brazilian midfielder Ricardo was on the end of a Fashion pass to make it 1-0.

Sakala’s assist was something to savor as he received a ball from midfield, beat four defenders before picking Ricardo who was on the edge of the box.

Ricardo made no mistake, taking one touch to position the ball carefully before unleashing a shot to score.

At the stroke of half time, it was Sakala to double the lead. He received the ball from Gojko Cimirot, beat an offside trap and rounded off the keeper to score.

Sultan Mandash made it 3-0 for Al Fayha before Al Dubias scored a consolation for the visitors.

“God Bless, Great victory and important 3 points for the fans The journey has started
