Wallidan beat Armed Forces 1-0 in their yesterday’s meeting at the Independence Stadium to move up to third position on the league table.

Momodou Lamin Sillah’s 30th minute brace separated the two sides throughout the regulation. The setback was Soldiers’ second defeat in five matches and they now trail Samger at the top of the table by three points.

Last night’s cracker was a bright encounter, marred by fascinating technics from both sets of players.

Armed Forces’ Lamin Sambou and Sarjo Nyanko were also closed to an opener before Wallidan broke the dead lock in the half-hour mark.

The Blue Boys new revelation capitalised on a defensive error at Soldiers goal mouth to slot home the opener.

Armed Forces, bolstered up by scores of enthusiastic supporters including the Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Lang Tombong Tamba, fought back with vigour, but they could not bag nothing more than a second-half red card.

Sarjo Nyanko received his second yellow card, then a red card for a deadly challenge on Wallidan’s Abdoulie Samba in the 85th minute. The numerical advantage make it easy for the Blue Boys to hold on their narrow lead.
