Hawks Fall Again, Gamtel Win
By Musa Barrow
Armed forces FC inflicted a narrow 1-0 defeat to Hawks on Saturday at Serrekunda West, forcing the FA cup defending champions into their second defeat in a row.
A 58th minute strike by Abdou Darboe gave the soldiers vital win extending their unbeaten run to three consecutive games since resuming battles in the division 1 league. The first 45 minutes witnessed a rather titanic affair as both teams fought hard to establish their supremacy. Hawks was however the better side doing most of the attacking and in turn missed a lot of goal scoring opportunities. And when they managed to put the ball into the Armed Forces net, the referee ruled it offside.
Armed Forces maintained a strong defense line closing on Hawks when they got hold of the ball and also capitalized to run on to their opponents from the break.
The first half ended in a deadlock and when they returned for the second period and 13 minutes into the half, Darboe struck in to put his side in the lead. The goal triggered an intense and pulsating football as Hawks pushed forward to avenge the score. But just as in the first half they failed to convert their chances.
Steadfast and defending patiently Armed Forces maintained their slender lead to the waves of attacks by Hawks as they struggled to at least salvage a point.
Elsewhere at the Independence Stadium in Bakau, Gamtel defeated Sait Matty by a lone goal to also maintain their unbeaten run five games.
