”Despite being denied 3 points after defeating our rivals Man City by 1 goal to nail in a violence match that was stopped by the central referee we still maintained our performance here today,” he added.
Ousman Jaiteh the head coach of Man City on his part lamented that Kombo South Sports Committee interfered in their last dispute against Queen Park Rangers who decided that the game should be replayed.
”I believe this contradicts the constitution of Tujereng Sports that states that any team that causes violence should forfeit their points.
However, “it was important for us to give peace a chance for Tujereng Sports to continue, for it is the expectation of everyone in this village to support sports, ”he noted.
