![]() Zama doesn’t even have a public social media presence to keep fans updated on any upcoming events he might be participating in. We do know the now-18-year-old continues to play the sport with the support of his family, but he has clearly moved away from the limelight. Zamokuhle “Zama” Nxasana was undeniably the most spirited when we first met him through the Netflix original, yet things seem to have changed for the Johannesburg, South Africa native. As for his current standing, the 17-year-old is an active Nike athlete, all set to graduate high school and then move on to pursue a different chapter (likely within the sport) in 2023. ![]() He’s the half-brother of former professional tennis player Anna Kournikova, has won the US Kids Golf European Championship consecutively from 2011 to 2015, and earned the title of World Champion in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2015. Rhys Bennett almost sealed the victory with a third goal for the Reds when his header hit the post in injury time but at 2-0, it was still a job very well done for Ten Hag's team in the first of eight pre-season games to be shown live on MUTV this summer.A post shared by Allan Kournikova in Russia but based in South Florida, Allan Kournikova can only be described as a famous youth golfer, especially considering the fact he’d picked up a club by the time he was four. ![]() That second goal compounded any disappointment the Leeds fans felt when Archie Gray's impressive 25-yarder hit the side netting instead of nestling behind Reds keeper Matej Kovar, who dived to his right to ensure it went wide. The goalscorer later turned provider when his low delivery from the right was dummied by Shola Shoretire and invited Hugill to simply tuck the ball home from close to the penalty spot, nine minutes from time. An inch-perfect pass from Hansen-Aarøen teed up the Frenchman, who swept the ball with his left foot past Leeds' substitute keeper Dani van den Heuvel. The mass alterations understandably disrupted the flow of the game but when the contest clicked back into gear, it was the youngsters in red who made the decisive moves.Įmeran broke the deadlock in the 67th minute with an accomplished, first-time finish. The players he introduced for the second period included senior striker Patrick Bamford and the former Reds winger Daniel James. Ten Hag made 11 pre-planned personnel changes at half-time, while his newly appointed counterpart Daniel Farke kept one of his starters on the pitch in full-back Codey Drameh. Amad later tried his luck with a curled attempt from the right but again it was too high for the target. The latter looked odds on to score or at least give Tom Heaton a severe test between the posts had he received his fellow Colombian's pass, six yards out.īetween those attacks, Mount went tantalisingly close to marking his unofficial debut with a goal when he led the press, seized the ball off Leeds centre-back Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen and floated a shot over Klaesson but on to the roof of the net. The same Reds midfielder later prevented Leeds from potentially going in front, when he produced a timely challenge to stop Luis Sinisterra completing a one-two with Ian Poveda. ![]() Hannibal connected with the resulting cross but his effort was blocked by Leeds goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson, playing in his native Norway. The Tunisia international was on the end of the first move to feature the incisive passing of Mount, who drilled the ball brilliantly out to Amad on the right flank. The latter was involved in the two key goalscoring chances for both teams inside the opening 20 minutes. Indeed, the first free-kick was awarded against Leeds after just 20 seconds, setting the tone for a first 45 minutes in which the Reds, inspired by Mount, were largely on the front foot.īut this excursion to Oslo wasn't just an occasion for Mount and Academy youngsters such as Kobbie Mainoo and Omari Forson to impress, it was also an opportunity for players who enjoyed successful loan spells last season and have now returned to the fold, like Alvaro Fernandez, Amad and Hannibal. After poignant tributes were paid to a legend of both clubs - Gordon McQueen, who passed away last month - the action began in a competitive spirit that the late, great Scot would have approved of. ![]()
