Frenford maintained their unblemished record ahead of their high-profile FA Cup fixture by securing a 3-1 victory over Basildon United on Saturday. The win preserved Frenford’s status as the only team in their league to have not dropped a point so far this season.

Basildon United initially took the lead in the 25th minute when Spiros Lagopidis capitalized on a loose ball and fired a precise shot past Frenford goalkeeper Dominic Alexandru. The Bees held onto their advantage for much of the first half, with Enrique Kalsi producing a notable save in stoppage time to keep Basildon ahead going into the break.

Frenford came out strongly after halftime, with Jesse Mansaray hitting the woodwork early in the second period. The visitors eventually found an equalizer through substitute Asad Ahmed, who had been on the field for just seven minutes before scoring. In added time, Yasser Maalin was fouled in the penalty area, allowing Steven Carvell to convert the spot-kick and put Frenford in front.

Before the final whistle, Thomas Scantlebury further extended Frenford’s lead, sealing the 3-1 victory for the visiting side. The result sets a confident tone for Frenford as they prepare to face Enfield Town in what is considered the biggest match in the club’s history this Saturday.
