Sullay Kaikai nets first goal in defeat to Wigan Athletic

by | 23 Feb, 2022 | Football Africa, Players Abroad News, Sport News

The Sierra Leone international Sullay Kaikai scored first goal of the season in Wycombe Wanderers‘ 3-1 defeat to Wigan Athletic Adams Park on Tuesday night. 

His first-half strike gave Wycombe a half-time lead, but the home team failed to maintain the lead. He netted in the 22nd minute with a crisp finish from the edge of the box. 

In the second half, the visitors scored three goals in twelve minutes for the visitors to ensure a super away performance for Leam Richardson’s men. 

Latics found the net through Tom Naylor’s close-range header in the 70-minute and a brace from Callum Lang in the 78th and 82nd minutes, respectively. 

The 26-year-old, who signed for the Chairboys in the summer on a free from Blackpool, has played 21 League One matches for the club.

Full-time: Wycombe Wanderers 1-3 Wigan Athletic

Wycombe Wanderers 1 Kaikai 22’ Wigan Athletic Naylor 70’ Lang 78’, 82’ Attendance: 4,826 (632 away)

Idris Kanu to miss Northampton next five matches

Northampton Town attacker Idris Kanu has been ruled for six weeks due to a fractured jaw. Kanu, 22, sustained the injury against Walsall earlier this month. 

The attacker has confirmed that he underwent surgery on the 11 of February and was successful but will miss vital matches in their chase for promotion.

Kanu has added to the Cobblers injury list of players. They will travel to face Scunthorpe United on Tuesday. 

However, manager Jon Brady is hoping his side can reach the levels they showed during the win over Colchester United on Saturday.

“Saturday was a really pleasing result against a side in Colchester who are on a resurgence and for us to play the way we did against an experienced team was really good,” he told the club’s website.

“We scored some good goals and we showed in our play everything we have been asking for.”

Kanu joined the club on loan from Peterborough last month.

Al Merrikh, Sundowns share CAF CL spoils in Cairo

Sudanese side Al Merrikh and South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns played to a goalless draw in their second TotalEnergies CAF Champions League Group A match at the Al Salam Stadium in Cairo on Saturday.

Sundowns who started their campaign with a 1-0 win against another Sudanese side Al Hilal last weekend were the most enterprising but couldn’t crack for an opening goal.

As a result, they top of their group with four points after two matches.

 The Brazilians created scoring chances, pinned Merreikh in their own half, but Monged Abuzaid in the Sudanese’s goal couldn’t let anything pass.

Merrikh struggled to create chances but will take in a draw in their first match of the group phase, a result that sees them sit third in the group.

Record 10-time champions Ahly and one-time winners Sundowns were placed in Group A with Sudanese clubs Al Hilal and Al Merrikh.

Amadou Bakayoko extends Bolton tally to nine

Amadou Bakayoko extends Bolton tally to nine

by | 20 Feb, 2022 | Football Africa, Players Abroad News, Sport News

Sierra Leone-born Amadou Bakayoko took his tally to nine goals of the season as Bolton Wanderers returned to winning ways with an emphatic 4-0 Sky Bet League One victory over AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.

As a result, the Whites moved up to tenth in their Sky Bet League One standings.

Bakakoyo accounted for his ninth, top scorer Dapo Afolayan netted his 13th of the season and Dion Charles, his sixth goal in eight games.

Iceland international Bodvarsson headed in Aaron Morley’s 36th-minute corner to give the Trotters the lead.

The visitors have never beaten Bolton and that record continued as Ian Evatt’s side struck twice in 11 second-half minutes to revive their outside play-off ambitions.

Afolayan virtually walked the ball into an empty net after Charles prodded the ball through.

Charles sealed Bolton’s seventh win in nine games with a right-footed finish after 67 minutes before Bakayoko headed in Marlon Fossey’s cross to complete the rout three minutes from time.

Kwame Nketiah registered the only goal for the away side to ensure a second straight loss for the Cavaliers in the ongoing Sierra Leone Premier League season.

As a result, Kallon FC has slipped down to eighth in the pecking other after the two disappointing results.

Not many will have fancied the Freetown City side to overcome their counterpart as this result moved them up to fifth on the log. 

On Monday, away from home against Diamond Stars, Kallon FC suffered a 2-1 defeat in Koidu before their home slumber.

The season continues today with two matches across the country. Bo Rangers will take on Bai Bureh Warriors as Anti-Drugs hosts Ole Edwardians.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Ports Authority and Kamboi Eagles played to a goalless draw in Freetown.
