WATERFORD >> Kinan Abdulrazzak scored all four goals for the Lakers and West Bloomfield rolled to a 4-0 win over the Bloomfield Hills Black Hawks in Tuesday’s district semifinals.

The Lakers dominated the first half, and Abdulrazzak needed just three minutes to get West Bloomfield on the board, bending a 35-yard free kick from the right wing into the left side of the net. Six minutes later, he got on the end of a back post service by Hazem Alosman and tucked in a ball to double the lead before 10 minutes had elapsed.

The Lakers kept Bloomfield Hills pinned up for much of the half, and Abdulrazzak completed his hat trick with 6:13 remaining in the first half to extend West Bloomfield’s lead.

Bloomfield Hills fought back in the second half, turning play around for long stretches to create a handful of good chances to get on the board and potentially get back in the game. But the one thing the Black Hawks could not do was beat West Bloomfield goalie Christian Faraj, who made six saves in the second half to preserve the shutout. Faraj even shut down a penalty shot nine minutes into the second half, diving to his left to turn a ball wide of the post.

“They got the three goals in the first half,” Bloomfield Hills head coach Dougie MacAulay said. “Our plan in the second half was to try and make sure we made it a game and that we didn’t just keep our heads down and concede a lot of goals. I think in the second half we played some really good soccer. We possessed well, and knowing that nine of the 11 guys on the field will be returning next year, we’re very positive.”

Eventually, the Lakers got a bit of control back behind the play of seniors captains Stepahn Khatchadourian and Brandon Fleurissaint, and Abdulrazzak added an exclamation point with 10:34 remaining, tucking in a loose ball for his fourth goal.

“Kenin is an unbelievable player. He scored so many brilliant goals for us during the season. But today, the game plan was to stay compact, to be well organized defensively, also offensively, and we applied everything that was needed for us to win the game,” Lakers head coach Borce Kosteski said.

West Bloomfield (8-6-2) appears to be peaking at the right time. The Lakers played a tough slate of non-league games down the stretch and emerged better for it. West Bloomfield earned the top seed in the district and will face Walled Lake Central on Friday in the district final at Waterford Mott.

“We know who we are. We know we are very skilled, and we know as a team we always tend to improve and get better game by game, so whoever comes our way, the next game in the finals, we’re just going to approach the same way we approach this game, and we’re just going to try and do our best,” Kosteski said.

Bloomfield Hills finishes an up and down year 4-11-1.“We’re just positive,” MacAulay said. “We had a very young team this year. It comes in waves with the high school game sometimes. Sometimes we had a grand run with the right maturity and skill levels. This year, we couldn’t quite do that.

“We had a lot of skiill but not the maturity, and next year it will be a whole different page. So we look forward to opening that chapter and getting on with it again next year.”
