Augustus Kargbo nets in Crotone’s win over Neapolis

Sierra Leone winger Augustus Kargbo scored in FC Crotone‘s 4-2 triumph over Turris Neapolis in Serie C on Sunday.

Riccardo Maniero put the home side ahead in the opening 13-minutes before Kargbo, 23, drew parity for the visitors in the 30th-minutes.

Crotone went ahead in the 32nd minute through Guido Gomez as they held their lead into the second half.

Seven minutes into the restart, Alessio Tribuzzi scored the third for Crotone in the 52nd minute. 

The home does not lie down – they rallied a second in the 72nd minute as Riccardo Maniero completed his brace to make it 3-2. But the visitors ensured a two-goal gap when Cosimo Chirico scored after receiving a pass from the Sierra Leone International Kargbo.

As a result, they sit second behind Catanzaro in their Group C Lega pro table with 25 points from ten games thus far.

Their next outing is against Picerno on the 30th as they chase promotion back to Serie B.

Coach Amidu Karim stays optimistic despite first-leg draw

Sierra Leone U23 head coach Amidu Karim says he is confident of a positive result in the decider between Sierra Leone and Young Chipolopolo of Zambia at the Heroes Stadium next weekend.

Zambia’s last-gasp equaliser secured a vital 1-1 draw with the Sierra Leone U23 side in the first leg of the Africa U-23 Cup of Nation qualifier at the SDK Stadium in Liberia on Saturday.

Alie Conteh put the home side in front in the 59th minute from the penalty spot, but the visitors rallied to grab their equaliser through Joshua Mutale’s spot kick in the 91st minute.

“The boys performed well in Liberia despite the draw. I’m optimistic that we will win and qualify in Zambia,” Coach Karim told FSL News.

“I am pleased with the overall performance of the team and the foreign-based players – they played well, but Emmanuel Samadia remains a doubt for the return match as the rest will be part of the squad.”

Next Saturday, the Zambians will be playing in front of their home crowd at Heroes Stadium on 29 October as both sides bid to reach the next stage of the African Cup of Nations U23 qualifiers.

The home side is searching for an unprecedented third straight U23 AFCON qualification after making group-stage exits from the 2015 and 2019 tournaments.

Over two legs, the aggregate winner will face either Egypt or Eswatini in the final qualifying round. The U23 AFCON tournament will serve as a ticket for the U23 Paris 2024 Olympics.
