Sierra Leone International Rodney Michael was pleased after helping his side FK Mornar‘s 1-0 triumph on his debut for the Montenegro top-tier side this afternoon at the City Stadium in Pljevlja. 

Mornar defeated FK Rudar Pljevlja through an Aleksandar Vujačić 48-minute strike as they battle to stay at the top league of the Southeastern Europe country.

Michael, 23, who enjoyed 86 minutes of action on his debut before he was subbed off – was pleased with the final scoreline.

He signed for the Meridianbet 1 CFL side a few days ago until the summer. The former Indy Eleven attacker is hoping his decision will help him revive his professional career in the Southeastern Europe country.

“It felt great to make my debut with FK Mornar. Extremely happy to be back on the pitch playing in a competitive league again. And to be able to help the team get three points as we start the second part of the season,” Michael told FSL News. “We now look ahead to the upcoming games as we continue the fight to climb up the league table.”

Michael was part coach of John Keister’s Sierra Leone squads for the last three friendlies in a 4-0 defeat to South Africa, DR Congo 3-0 and 3-0 against the Algeria B team in South Africa, Morocco and Dubai, respectively.

In March last year, Indy Eleven announced it had acquired forward Rodney Michael from USL League One club South Georgia Tormenta FC.

MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja set to host Nigeria’s Matchday 3 African Cup of Nations qualifier against the Wild Dogs of Guinea Bissau on March 24, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has said, according to a report from Nigeria. 

However, Guinea Bissau’s football federation, Federação de Futebol da Guiné-Bissau, has not picked a date for the second match, which could hold either in Guinea-Bissua or Morocco on March 27 or 28.

“CAF inspected the national stadium 24 September, expected to host the African Cup of Nations qualifier match between Guinea-Bissau and Nigeria next March in Bissau,” Bissua Federation has said.

The Guinean government, the Football Federation and society at large await the final report of the inspector’s work, hoping that it will authorize the taking of “CAF and FIFA” games.

Guinea-Bissau have been playing their AFCON qualifying matches away from home due to a lack of an International stadium. They are among the African nations without an approved stadium.

Group A match day one of the qualifying series, the Super Eagles fought back from a ferocious start to the game after an 11th-minute goal by Jonathan Morsay (In Photo) – to defeat the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone 2-1 in Abuja after Alex Iwobi and Victor Osimhen hit back hard at the visitors.

Meanwhile, Sierra Leone’s 2-2 draw against Guinea-Bissau means they are third behind Bissau.

Guinea-Bissau on four points and occupies second place. Nigeria, who thrashed Sao Tome 10-0 in Morocco Stade d Agadir, top Group A with six points.
