Marimoo and Serrekunda FC Share Points in Gambia Second Division Stalemate

The Gambia League Second Division served up a tightly contested affair on 4 June 2026 as Marimoo hosted Serrekunda FC, with both sides settling for a 1-1 draw. The result kept both teams in the mid-table region, with neither able to gain a decisive edge in a match characterised by physical battles and few clear-cut chances.

First Half: Marimoo Strike First

Marimoo started with intent, pressing from the kickoff. Their efforts paid off in the 27th minute when a loose ball in the box was poked home by the home team's striker. Serrekunda FC responded by increasing possession but found Marimoo's compact defence difficult to break down. The half ended with the home side leading 1–0.

Second Half: Serrekunda Equalise

The visitors came out with renewed energy after the interval. Serrekunda FC's equaliser arrived in the 63rd minute following a corner kick that was not properly cleared; the ball fell to an unmarked midfielder who fired into the bottom corner. Both teams pushed for a winner in the final 20 minutes, but goalkeeping interventions and last-ditch tackles kept the score level.

Standings Implications

With this draw, Marimoo remain in ninth place on 24 points from 18 matches, while Serrekunda FC sit just two points above the relegation zone in 12th. The points shared do little to ease the pressure on either side, especially with the second half of the season approaching. Every match counts in the tightly bunched Second Division table.

The Gambia Second Division continues to provide unpredictable and hard-fought encounters across the season.
