Hackney Wick made history with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Brimsdown, securing their seventh win in seven league matches and avenging their FA Vase defeat just a few weeks ago. The Wickers were determined to make a statement, and despite a resilient Brimsdown side, they showed their class, especially in the second half.

The match started with Hackney Wick looking to seize the initiative, and they found the breakthrough midway through the first half. Leo Pola's effort, deflected off a Brimsdown defender, gave Hackney the lead after a well-delivered corner from Frankie Hnamore. This was Hnamore's first league start of the season, and he made an immediate impact.

However, Brimsdown were not deterred, growing into the game as the half progressed. Just before the break, they equalized with an unstoppable long-range strike, a true "worldie" that left Hackney's goalkeeper no chance. Brimsdown were arguably the better team in the first half, pressing with intensity and controlling large spells of possession.

But after the interval, Hackney Wick showed why they have been unstoppable this season. Last season’s top scorer, Victory, restored their lead with a clinical finish, injecting life into the home side’s performance. Brimsdown struggled to regain control, and their task became even harder when Nixon Soglu, Hackney’s current top scorer and August’s Player of the Month, came off the bench to add his eighth goal in eight games, capping a brilliant attacking display.

Brimsdown pulled one back late on, making for a tense finish, but Hackney Wick held on and were good value for their win. The victory not only extended their perfect start to the season but also broke the club record for the most consecutive wins in their opening seven matches.

The Wickers now look ahead to their next challenge, a clash against Southend Manor, as they aim to continue their unstoppable form.
