Skipper MODO CHAM’S late spot kick, gave BK MILAN just their second victory of the season after narrowly edging out BANJUL UNITED on Saturday at Serekunda East Park.
The opening half was just boring, not a single clear-cut chance, not even an effort to stretch either of the goalkeepers, and that just sum up how dismal both sides played in the first half.
Although the presence of few GFF top brass President LAMIN KABA BAJO and Second Vice President EBOU FAYE perhaps added a bit of color to a dull first half played in front of virtually an empty Serekunda East Meanwhile, in the second half the game improved gradually with both sides showing that urgency to take home maximum points, although none of them boss the possession significantly.
The City Boys BANJUL UNITED crafted the first clear cut effort in the 50th minute through OUSMAN BAH who picked up a loose ball from the center, found pocket of space around BK MILAN’S box, but his shot went just a bit wide.
10 minutes later another glorious opportunity fell BANJUL UNITED’S way and this time Midfield maestro OMAR JAITEH was the victim of another miss chance, as he missed a rare free header assisted by ABDOULIE SARR.
At the hour mark, BK MILAN’S Gaffer ALAGIE SARR brought on left winger ESSA JALLOW for YUSUPHA CHAM, and that substitution paid off well as the new entrant JALLOW ‘s set pieces caused BANJUL UNITED some problems, and one of his deliveries should have resulted to a BK MILAN goal had Striker EBRIMA CAMARA directed properly a free header in the 65th minute.
In the 73rd minute, the game reaches the turning point, BANJUL UNITED’S Defender ALIEU BITTAYE penalized for bringing down BK MILAN Striker EBRIMA CAMARA, he protested that the foul was outside the box, but Referee MUHAMMED MARIGO had none of that he pointed to the spot for a penalty to BK MILAN which was coolly converted in by Captain MODOU CHAM to earned BK MILAN just their second victory of the Campaign. At full time it finished BK MILAN 1 BANJUL UNITED 0.
