It’s was the final game of the season in the Gambia Football Federation league one 2018/2019 for both buffer-zone base PSV Wellingara fc and the Blue-boys Wallidan fc of banjul. The match ended in a one all stalemate.
Rock-bottom Psv Wellingara where able to fend off record champions to settle for a 1:1 draw at the Independence Stadium in Bakau, yesterday the 7th of June 2019.
At the beginning of the game, there was not much to be said as both teams keep sizing up each other,trending carefully and cancelling each others efforts at goal. In the 17th mins of the game, Wallidan fc could have been on the front footing but Salim’s shot went straight at the Psv goalie.
Psv Wellingara began to gain their confidence after Wallidan’s missed chance and began to mount pressure. Psv Wellingara managed to take the lead in the 31st minutes through Baboubacarr Fatty. They went to the break 1 nil to Psv.
After resuming from the break, Wallidan fc come in strong. Wallidan’s pressure paid off in the 52nd minutes as Ous Sillah levelled the score line. After the goal, both teams continued to trend carefully and kept cancelling each other as the ball went from one end to the other without troubling the keepers and no clear chances created. it ended one all.
Psv Wellingara will be playing in the second division league next season after a very appalling spell in the top level of the domestic league football. Despite the relegation, Psv were able to gather some positive experience and ideas from the top league and those valuable ideas can be well natured in order to come back stronger in the near future.
Psv Wellingara were the youngest and the most inexperienced side in the first Division league and the youngsters managed to pick up some good victories and memories against some of the most formidable clubs in the league,with some outstanding performances.
The campaign has been a learning process for us and we’ll never put our heads down for failing in our endeavour to maintain our status in Division One, as put by the clubs facebook page.
They also thanked all those who directly or indirectly helped in their endeavours and course in making it memorable one and the fans who were amazing throughout the campaign. See you back soon.
