FC Kallon crash out after defeat to Future in Egypt

Sierra Leone’s FC Kallon have been dumped out of the CAF Confederation Cup by debutants Future FC after a heavy 4-0 defeat.

Future FC went through to the next stage of the CAF Confederation Cup after a comfortable 4-0 second-round preliminary second-leg win over FC Kallon at the Air defence Stadium in Egypt on Sunday. (6-0 Agg).

A brace from Ayman Al-Sfaxi in 12 and 60 minutes gave the away side a tricky task to face.

Future added to their lead in the 68-minute through Saad Samir before Nasser Maher completed their 4-0 win in at the Air defence stadium on Sunday.

Following their first leg 2-0 triumph in the first leg at the SDK last Sunday in Liberia, it was always going to be a difficult result to overturn for the Sierra Leonean side.

After signing a host of players in the summer as they seek to improve on their fifth-place finish in the Egyptian Premier League and to mount a serious challenge for the Confederation Cup title.

This time, they failed to replicate what they did Fifteen years ago when they eliminated Nigerian side Ocean Boys 1-0 on aggregate in the African Champions League preliminary after both sides played to a goalless draw in Nigeria.

In the next round, they were eliminated by Ivorian Champions Asec Mimosa 3-1, who won both matches to progress.

In the 2012 CAF Confederation Cup, FC Kallon eliminated Cameroon’s Union Sportive de Douala in the preliminary but faced stiff competition against Nigerian Warri Wolves. They won 2-0 on aggregate in the first round.

Kallon braces for toughest challenge in coaching career

Kallon braces for toughest challenge in coaching career

FC Kallon boss Mohamed Kallon is set to face a huge challenge of his coaching career when the club he owns squares up against Egyptian side FC Future in their CAF Confederation preliminary second-round second leg on Sunday in Egypt.

The 43-year-old was able to mastermind first round 4-0 aggregate consecutive victory over Les Buffles du Borgou of Benin. 

However, after their first leg 2-0 defeat against Egyptian side FC Future in Liberia, the ex-Inter Milan striker now faces a massive test to overturn the scoreline.

The Egyptian side Future FC took a brilliant first-leg advantage against Sierra Leone’s FC Kallon after a 2-0 win at the SDK stadium in Liberia last Sunday.

As a result, they are within touching distance of a place in the African Confederation Cup next stage.

The former Inter Milan and Monaco forward told Journalist Fajah Barrie: “We’re going to play an open match in Cairo in the return leg – anything can happen in football.”

Kallon’s elder brother, Musa, a member of the Cavaliers technical team, said: “We lost because of naivety and inexperience, but all is not lost. We are going to fight hard to overturn the result in Cairo.”

Fifteen years ago, FC Kallon eliminated Nigerian side Ocean Boys 1-0 on aggregate in the African Champions League preliminary after both sides played to a goalless draw in Nigeria.

The Cavaliers were eliminated by Ivorian Champions Asec Mimosa 3-1, who won both matches to progress.

In the 2012 CAF Confederation Cup, FC Kallon eliminated Cameroon’s Union Sportive de Douala in the preliminary but faced stiff competition against Nigerian Warri Wolves. They won 2-0 on aggregate in the first round.

Zamalek, Sundowns & two others through to group stage

South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns, CR Belouizdad, Petro de Luanda and Zamalek are the first four teams to reach this year’s CAF Champions League group stage after impressive results.

The 2016 Champions, Sundowns impressively hammered Seychelles champions La Passe 15-1 over two legs to progress. They had won the first leg 7-0 last weekend to put one foot in the group phase.

In Alexandria, Egyptian giants Zamalek proved too strong for Burundi’s Flambeau du Centre sealing through with a 5-1 thumping on the day 6-1 on aggregate.

Algerian side CR Belouizdad overcame their Malian counterparts Djoliba AC 4-1 on aggregate after a 2-0 home triumph on Friday. 

Angola’s Petro de Luanda 1-0 victory over Cape Town City means they join the party with a 4-1 aggregate scoreline following their first leg 3-0 win last week.

Cape Town, La Passe, Djoliba and Flambeau still have a place in the continent’s second-tier club competition as they make the second additional preliminary round in the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup.
