Leicester hit four past Kamara’s Randers in Uefa first leg

Leicester hit four past Kamara’s Randers in Uefa first leg

Leicester City proved too strong in their Europa Conference League knockout round play-off first leg against Danish side Randers after a 4-1 victory.

The result means they’re a step away to make the round of 16. Nigeria’s Wilfried Ndidi gave the Foxes the lead with a side-footed finish from Ademola Lookman’s pass.

The Danish side levelled the scoreline through Vito Hammershoej-Mistrati against the run of play, but Harvey Barnes restored the lead with a turn and clever finish.

Patson Daka added a third and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall slotted home after good work by Kelechi Iheanacho.

Sierra Leone International Alhaji Kamara started at the Leicester City stadium but was subbed off in the 65th minute when Randers was 3-1 down. 

The Foxes set themselves up nicely for a comfortable second-leg in Denmark now after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall made it 4-1 in the 74th minute. 

The second leg will take place on 24 February at Randers Stadium. The winner over two legs will decide who progresses into the last-16 of the inaugural Conference League tournament.

All winners of the ties earn a place in the round of 16 draws on 25 February, where they will be unseeded. The seeded teams are AZ Alkmaar, Basel, Copenhagen, Feyenoord, Gent, LASK, Rennes and Roma.

Falkirk attacker Jaze Kabia happy with present form

Jaze Kabia playing as a striker for Falkirk, on loan from Livingston, is delighted with his current form.

The young attacker has been pivotal for the Scottish outfit with three goals in his last four games, helping the club to a fifth-place spot on the table.

Kabia scored his third of the season in Falkirk‘s 3-0 over Alloa Athletic on February 8th. 

“I have played four games since I joined Falkirk on loan and scored three times and a couple of assists also. I am pleased to have started pretty well. Hopefully, long may it continue,” Kabia told FSL news. 

He was born in Ireland to an Irish mother, an English father and his grandad was from Sierra Leone named Moses James Kabia. 

“I was born in Ireland – my mum is Irish, my dad is English. So, I played all my youth football in Ireland, where I started my professional career.”

Kabia, 21, who has confirmed his grandad is from Sierra Leone, started his career with Cobh Ramblers, where he spent a season and a half before moving to Shelbourne in 2020.

Kabia signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Scottish Premiership side Livingston on January 8th 2021, before he was sent on loan to join Scottish League One side Falkirk until the end of the season.

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.

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.
