Falcons FC 1‑1 BST Galaxy | Gambia League First Division | May 19, 2026

Falcons FC and BST Galaxy shared the spoils in a hard‑fought 1‑1 draw at the Independence Stadium in Bakau on Tuesday night. The result extended Falcons’ unbeaten run to three games, while BST Galaxy maintained their strong away form.

First‑Half Action

The match started with both teams feeling each other out, but it was the visitors who struck first. In the 22nd minute, BST Galaxy’s winger Lamin Darboe cut inside from the left and curled a beautiful shot into the far corner, leaving the Falcons goalkeeper with no chance. The goal was a reward for Galaxy’s patient build‑up play.

Falcons responded well, with their midfield trio of Ousman Jallow, Bubacar Sanneh and Ebrima Sonko beginning to take control. The equalizer came just before the interval: a corner from the right was met by central defender Mamadou Bah, who powered a header past the Galaxy keeper to make it 1‑1 at half‑time.

Second Half – Tension and Missed Chances

The second half saw fewer clear‑cut chances as defences tightened. Falcons pushed for a winner, with Jallow forcing a fine save from the Galaxy goalkeeper in the 70th minute. BST Galaxy also threatened on the break, but the final ball often let them down.

In the closing stages, both teams seemed content with a point, though a late flurry of corners for Falcons came to nothing. The draw was a fair reflection of the overall balance of play.
