Africa-Press – Gambia. United Stars FC of Farato have booked their place in the Brikama Sports Committee (BSC) Summer Nawettan proper after edging out Gidda Kabilo with a hard-fought 1-0 win.
The decisive moment came in the 54th minute when Majama Gaye found the back of the net, sealing qualification for United Stars and sparking celebrations among their supporters.
Both teams entered the match with clear intentions of securing qualification, but it was the Farato-based United Stars who delivered a competitive and determined performance to eliminate Gidda Kabilo in the final qualifying round.
