Kamara’s Randers set for Galatasaray Europa decider

Alhaji Kamara and his Danish side Randers will take on the Turkish giants Galatasaray on Thursday in the second leg of their Europa League decider at the Türk Telekom Stadium.

Kamara was an unused substitute in the 1-1 in the play-off first leg last Thursday at Cepheus Park.

Muhammed Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored a sensational goal before Frederik Lauenborg equaliser at the beginning of the second half in Denmark.

After 1-1 at home, Kamara’s Randers FC eyes the possibility of participating in the Europa League group stage if they eliminate the Turkish giant.

In Turkey, the Sierra Leone international Kamara will be hoping he gets the chance to help Randers to qualify for their first Europe League group game. But, certainly not be an easy task against Galatasaray.

If they fail to reach the Europa League group stage, Randers can look forward to playing group stage in the Europa Conference League.
