Waltham Forest 4-0 Sporting Bengal United

Forest put four goals past lowly Sporting Bengal United, despite never really getting out of first gear.

Hassana Traore gave his side the lead as early as the second minute, finishing a one-on-one chance coolly after being put through by Ibrahim Sari.

Traore then got his second, pouncing on a loose ball and firing in from just outside the box after some excellent work from Solomon Ofori and Jose Agua.

There was a sense of good fortune about Forest’s third – Ofori’s initial shot was well saved by the Bengal keeper – but neither of the two defenders on the line could turn the ball away from goal. The first missed the ball completely, while the second could only poke it over the line.

Luke Ifil rounded off the performance with a screamer from about 40 yards.

Forest were happy to get their first clean sheet for some time.
