Egypt’s Future secure first-leg advantage

Egypt’s Future secure first-leg advantage

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

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

The Egyptians opened the scoring through Marwan Mohsen in 48 minutes before winger Mostafa El-Badri doubled their lead in stoppage time to claim a comfortable first-leg advantage in their CAF Confederation Cup second-round preliminary.

The Confederation Cup debutants are in a much better position to reach the next stage, but head coach FC Kallon remains optimistic.

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.

USL: Augustine Williams takes tally to sixteen 

USL: Augustine Williams takes tally to sixteen 

Sierra Leone International Augustine Williams continued his hot streak as he bagged his sixteen of the USL Championship campaign in Charleston Battery’s 4-1 defeat to Indy Eleven on Sunday.

The home team opened the scoring through Augustine Williams, assisted by Fidel Barajas in the 18th minute, but they struggled to maintain their early lead.

It was Williams’ sixteen of the season as the leading scorer for Charleston Battery.

Alec John Cochran drew parity in the 40th minute before Stefano Pinho’s brace in the 48th and 64th minutes, respectively, to give the home side a comfortable lead.

Charlie Asensio’s own goal completed Indy’s big win on the night at IUPUI Carroll Stadium.

Battery’s Coach – Casey’s post-match overall assessment of the night

It was good to come out and get the lead, we created a lot of chances in the first half. Things looked pretty comfortable for the most part. But in the second half, we gave up those goals and made another mistake. It went downhill from there in terms of our defence. What looked like a winnable game at halftime, unfortunately, didn’t turn out to be.

It was good to see Fidel get on the stat sheet again with another assist and to see Augi get his goal, so those were two positives from tonight.

Osman Kakay records assist in QPR’s win over Reading

Sierra Leone defender Osman Kakay recorded an assist as Queens Park Rangers secured a 2-1 win over Reading on Friday.

The defender started on the bench before he was brought on in the 26-minute to replace Ethan Benjamin Laird.

Striker Lyndon Dykes scored a brace as the Royals missed the chance to go top of the Championship.

The home side responded well despite trailing through Andy Carroll’s 30th-minute penalty kick in the 30-minute.

A quick reply from the R’s three minutes later ensured they level at the break as Lyndon Dykes nodded in Osman Kakay’s low cross from a tight angle in the centre of the box to equalise for the home side.

After the restart, both sides started with a high-tempo back-and-forth affair, with chances for both sides.

Royals goalkeeper Joe Lumley was called into action twice in quick succession, with a pair of big saves to keep the hosts at bay.

In the 84-minute, QPR was awarded a penalty after Iroegbunam, who gave away the spot-kick in the first half, was brought down by Mamadou Loum just inside the box before Dykes converted from 12 yards.

As a result, the London club move p to third in the Championship log above Reading.
