Bottom team Police arrest Bo Rangers in Freetown

Sierra Leone Premier League basement team Police FC stunned big money spenders Bo Rangers in the ongoing season at the Siaka Steven Stadium on Saturday.

The home team tamed their visitors taking home maximum points after their 1-0 win against tough opposition.

The only goal was scored by Alpha Kanu in the 13th minute when he picked up a ball and struck it to an empty net following what looks like an error from Bo Rangers debutant keeper Ibrahim Sesay.

The Southern Province giant was coming into the tie expected to extend their lead after Central Parade 1-1 draw with East End Lions on Friday.

The result means no movement at the top. The rangers are still top of the table by a point ahead of the East End Lions.

The season will continue today, with early kickoffs (4:15 PM) – Bombali District top-tier side Wusum Stars locking horns with East End Tigers at Wusum Grounds. 

SLIFA Mount Aureol battle it out with the Ports Authority at the Approved School field.

Sierra Leone’s Bakayoko nets Bolton’s winner over Oxford

Amadou Bakayoko scored a late winner for Wanderers as they made a statement to the rest of League One by beating Oxford United at Kassam Stadium on Saturday.

As a result, Bolton moved up to tenth in the English League One standings. Twice coming from behind, the visitors rallied to take home vital maximum points away from home.

Billy Bodin scored a brace for the host team as four goals came in a thrilling first half. Oxford took the lead on nine minutes when Gavin Whyte was tripped and Bodin bent the resulting 25-yard free-kick into the top corner.

Wanderers replied straight from the restart, with Declan John drilling a low angled shot past Jack Stevens to the delight of the 1,750 visiting fans.

After chances at both ends, Bodin took a pass from Whyte pass on 32 minutes, jinked inside a defender and unleashed another fierce left-footed effort past James Trafford from the edge of the box.

Bolton again hit back quickly, Fossey firing over Stevens’ head and into the goal from 16 yards six minutes later.

But it was Bakayoko who had the final say with his eight goals in twenty-three matches for Bolton.

League restart excites Salone exceptional goalie at AFCON

One of Sierra Leone outstanding players at the African Cup of Nations in Cameroon, Mohamed Kamara, says he is excited to restart local football with his club East End Lions.

The Killers is one of the most decorated football outfits in the country – they’re presently two points adrift from leaders Bo Rangers on the log. 

Lions will resume their campaign as they lock horns against Central Parade on Friday at the Siaka Steven Stadium, a game Kamara will be hoping his side can win.

The 22-year-old was named Man of the Match in Sierra Leone draw with Algeria on January 11 at the Japoma Stadium, thanks to a brave display that saw him frustrate one of the tournament’s favourites.

He saved a vital spot-kick against the Ivory Coast that saw the Leone Stars rallied to a 2-2 draw at the Japoma Stadium.

“I have been working with the team since returning from the African Cup of Nations getting ready for the second phase of the season,” Kamara told FSL News.

“I have to be honest, I am excited after the AFCON, to start again fighting for the title in Sierra Leone. This is the league that makes me who I am today. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s game.”

A win will see the East End giant club go top until after Bo Rangers start their campaign against Sierra leone Police on Saturday.  

Kamara helped East End Lions win the 2018/2019 season unbeaten, four points ahead of FC Kallon.
