Real the banjul made no changes from the team that beat Gunjur United in the FF Cup. The game was so tight as there was limited chances of clear chances at the opposite ends. The game turned physical in 20th mins as  Shiekh Omar Saho sees himself in the referee’s book.

There where few moments in the game where individual brilliance was displayed from both clubs, but both teams sticked to their task . It ended 0:0 full time.
