SLIFA produced a dominant display to dismantle FC Kallon 3-0 at the National Stadium in Freetown, extending their unbeaten run in the Sierra Leone Premier League and piling further pressure on the struggling hosts.

Match Overview

In a highly anticipated encounter on 26 June 2026, SLIFA delivered a clinical performance that left FC Kallon searching for answers. The visitors took control from the opening whistle and never looked back, scoring three unanswered goals to secure a comprehensive victory. The result moved SLIFA closer to the top of the table, while FC Kallon slipped into the relegation conversation.

Key Moments

• 12th minute – SLIFA strike first: A swift counter-attack caught the Kallon defence off guard. Midfielder Mohamed Bangura slotted home from close range after a pinpoint cross from the right flank.
• 38th minute – Second goal before half-time: SLIFA doubled their lead through a well-worked set piece. Defender Alhaji Sesame rose highest to head in a corner, leaving the home goalkeeper with no chance.
• 67th minute – Sealing the victory: Substitute striker Ibrahim Kargbo added a third with a composed finish after a defensive mix‑up, effectively ending any hope of a Kallon comeback.

Tactical Story

SLIFA manager Rashid Kamara set his team up in a compact 4-2-3-1, pressing high and forcing FC Kallon into hurried clearances. The visitors dominated midfield through the energetic duo of Abu Koroma and Osman Bangura, who cut off supply lines to Kallon’s creative players. In contrast, FC Kallon lacked cohesion in the final third; their lone striker was isolated, and wingers failed to deliver quality crosses. The home side’s best chance came in the 55th minute when a long-range effort hit the crossbar, but they rarely troubled the SLIFA goalkeeper.

Standout Performers

• Mohamed Bangura (SLIFA): Opened the scoring and orchestrated attacks from midfield, completing 89% of his passes and creating three chances.
• Alhaji Sesame (SLIFA): The defender was immense at the back, winning all aerial duels and contributing a goal from a corner.
• Ibrahim Kargbo (SLIFA): Came off the bench to score the third goal, adding fresh energy to an already dominant performance.

Impact on the Standings

The victory lifts SLIFA into third place in the Sierra Leone Premier League standings, just two points behind the leaders with a game in hand. FC Kallon, meanwhile, remain in 14th position, only one point above the relegation zone. With the second half of the season approaching, the result could prove decisive in the battle for both continental qualification and survival.

SLIFA will look to build on this momentum when they host Ports Authority next weekend, while FC Kallon face a must‑win trip to bottom‑side Old Edwardians.
