FC Kallon are finding themselves in a tough situation after dropping crucial points in their recent matches.

The battle for second place intensifies as they slip to third place with 59 points, just one point behind the East End Lions, who have secured a full three points against East End Tigers over the weekend.

FC Kallon suffered an unexpected setback against Freetown City FC at home, when Simon Malfoy scored a brilliant goal in the 87th minute, granting the visitors the lead. But their star striker and current top scorer, Alie Nzonzi Conteh, came to the rescue by converting a penalty just a minute later, securing a valuable point for his team.

With only two matches remaining in the season, FC Kallon’s immediate focus is on regaining their winning form. They must strive to secure victories in their remaining matches to secure a second spot and earn a place in CAF, Confederation Cup. However, their position is further threatened by Mighty Blackpool, who are currently sitting fourth with 54 points and having two games at hand. If Mighty Blackpool manages to win these matches, FC Kallon’s position could be compromised even further.

The pressure is on FC Kallon to secure a higher position, and the team’s quest for success hangs in the balance. FC Kallon fans eagerly anticipate the team’s response in the remaining matches, hoping for a triumphant resurgence that will solidify their position among the league’s top contenders. FC Kallon’s next fixture is an away match against Real Republicans on Saturday, July 15, 2023.

On match day 32 of the Sierra Leone Premier League, East End Tigers suffered a significant setback, failing to earn a point in a 1-0 defeat against the East End Lions at the Trade Center Arena in Freetown. Ibrahim Keita, the team’s star player, missed a crucial penalty in the dying minutes of the match, which could have secured a point for the Tigers and increased their chances of avoiding relegation.
