Male’, MALDIVES – Ahmed Thoriq (Tom) marked his return to old club New Radiant with a second half goal and another assist to help New Radiant win the encounter against AYL by 4-1 tonight. Shinaz Hilmy gave the lead in the 2nd minute and Wright doubled it at the stroke of first half.
Faisal’s cross in the second half reached Shinaz with a slight header from Wright and his left footed shot found the net beating keeper Fairooz.
New Radiant completely dominated the first half and they could have scored more goals if they managed to convert all that open chances.

In the 33rd minute Wright once again escaped the defenders and even beat Fairooz but then saw his shot blocked by a defender.
But five minutes later Wright doubled the lead, this time he shot the ball to the goal after Shinaz provided the assist.
