The match ended in a 1–1 draw, with Sengeh praising the atmosphere at the Trade Centre and the quality of play. He highlighted several players from both teams, including East End Lions midfielder SS, the club’s number 2 and number 23, as well as Waterloo FC’s central defender, who was named Man of the Match.
He also described Tombo as a more experienced and mature player and expressed confidence in the future of Waterloo FC’s Man of the Match.
“The Sierra Leone Premier League continues to deliver for people, communities, and the country,” Sengeh wrote.
Reflecting on the significance of the encounter, he added: “The match ended 1-1, but Sierra Leone won.”
