Gambia Foreign Stars Roundup
By Modou Nyang
Njogu Demba and Mustapha kamal Ndow found the back of the net for their respective clubs over the weekend and most of the other players’ picked-up points with their sides, as we look at another week of action by Gambian footballers abroad.
Austria – Modou Jagne and Pa Saikou Kujabi both picked up points in their respective matches over the weekend. Pa Saikou’s SV Josko Fenster Ried ended a two match miserable run of form picking a point in a goalless draw at home to SK Sturm Graz on Saturday. Whilst Jagne’s SCR Altach made it 1-1 against bottom placed FC Wacker Tirol. Kujabi did not feature for Ried, whilst Jagne was an unused substitute for Altach.
Belgium – Assan Jatta started his second consecutive league match for club K. Lierse SK along side teammate Mustapha Jarjue on Saturday with the Belgian Second division side playing out a goalless draw at home to KVSK United. Jatta was however substituted in the 90th minute whilst Jarjue ended the match. Lierse will play against A. FC. Tubize today in advance of the weekend international break.
In the other side of the Belgian 2nd division league uncapped Gambian star striker Ebrima Sawaneh was again voted the man of the match for his club KSK Beveren, as they picked all three points for the second time in row. Ibou was at hand to help Beveren defeat KFCV Geel 1-0 at their home ground.
Cyprus – in the Cyprus Division A, leggy Gambia striker Mustapha Kamal Ndow on Sunday scored for his club Doxa Katokopia FC early in the first half but his side could not hold on to their advantage as AEL Limassol fought back to win 2-1 at home.
Denmark – stylish Scorpions’ striker Njogu Demba scored in the 53rd minute to help his club Esbjerg FB to a 3-1 away win over Lyngby BK on Sunday.
England – Edrissa Sonko’s English league 1 side Walsall were 2-0 winners in the 1st round of the FA Cup against league 2 side Shrewsbury Town on Saturday. Sonko was cautioned in the 53rd minute of the match before he was substituted in the 60th minute. Walsall will now face either Darlington or Northampton Town in the second round.
Holland – in the Dutch Eerste Divisie (2nd Division) veteran Scorpoins’ players Jatto Ceesay and Ebou Sillah were both defeated in their weekend matches. Sillah’s MVV Maastricht lost to 1-0 at home to Go Ahead Eagles whilst Ceesay’s FC Omniworld lost 2-1 away to Helmond Sport, all on Friday. Maastricht will now face FC Den Bosch in their next fixture on Friday whilst Omniworld takes on FC Volendam on the same day.
Norway – the Norwegian league has already ended but the reigning champions – Tijan Jaiteh’s SK Brann are searching yet for another glory. Brann played a brave1-1 draw away to French league 1 side Rennes in the UEFA Cup last Thursday. Jaiteh was however not involved in the match but the Tippeligaen champions scored first shocking the much fancied French side and the homers only managed to level the score from the penalty spot in the dying minutes of the game. Brann will play their next match at home against Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday 29th November.

UAE – the United Arab Emirates Ettesalat League is once again in an extended brake meaning Scorpions’ whiz-kid Ousman Jallow, will sit out without playing a competitive match until 26th November.
USA – Sainey Nyassi and Abdoulie Mansally are enjoying their first season with club, New England Revolution despite still warming the bench. The young Gambian duo are through to MLS Cup final (the league decider) with Revolution wining the Eastern Conference championship against the Chicago Fire. The Revs will now travel to the capital (Washington DC) on Sunday for the final to decider who is crowned the champions of 2007 Major League Soccer.
