In one of the most significant upsets of the Leone Rock Premier League season, Abacha City FC secured a decisive 2-0 victory over reigning champions Bo Rangers at the Approved School Field on Thursday, July 9, 2026.
The match saw both teams employ a 4-4-2 formation, with play contested aggressively through the flanks. Abacha City’s persistence was rewarded shortly before halftime when a strike from Madieu Mansaray forced Bo Rangers goalkeeper Noah Sesay into an unfortunate own goal, handing the hosts a 1-0 advantage heading into the break.
Despite Bo Rangers’ efforts to equalize in the second half, Abacha City’s defensive line remained organized and resilient. The victory was cemented deep into stoppage time when James Kargbo delivered a precise cross that Abdulrahman Kamara clinically finished in the 90+4th minute.
Alya Kamara was named Man of the Match, earning recognition for an outstanding defensive performance that proved pivotal in holding the lead and securing all three points.
While the result marks a major milestone for the club, Abacha City remains in the league's relegation zone. The team will look to build on this momentum as they continue their push for survival in the remaining fixtures.
