Sierra Leone international defender Abdulai Juma Bah delivered another commanding performance for RC Lens last Sunday, playing full 90 minutes in their hard-fought 1-0 Ligue 1 victory over AS Saint-Etienne.

The tightly contested match saw Lens secure all three points thanks to the 75th-minute strike from forward Goduine Koyalipou. The victory in the 28th round lifts Lens and puts further pressure on Saint-Etienne, who now sits perilously in 17th. Abdulai Juma Bah is a rising star in Sierra Leonean football.

Bah, a tenacious and increasingly influential figure in the Lens defense, contributed significantly to his team’s solid performance, helping them secure a vital clean sheet. This match marked the third consecutive start for the Leone Stars player.
