Today’s game in Makeni between the champions of Sierra Leone Premier League, East End Lions aka The Killers and the lead team in the Premier League table, Bo Rangers will be a very interesting match full with fireworks and also a very bad day for Musa Tombo.
It could be recalled that the number one attacker who doubles as Best Player for Bo Rangers, Musa Noah Kamara aka Musa Tombo continues to maintain his title as highest goal scorer in the past and current FA league and he will be playing against his biological Uncle, Saidu Musa Bangura aka Jones who coincidentally is also the most talented defender for East End Lions aka The Killers; a team which Musa Tomba played for and left for Bo Rangers.
Many sports analysts that have been following Musa Tombo and Saidu Musa are of the view that the two players are related and they know each other’s skills very well and therefore are better placed to understand how to out-skill each other in the pitch. The analysts are also of the opinion that because the two players were born in the same house and have since their childhood been playing football in the same area, they are very inclined to understanding each other’s moves.
A senior sports writer revealed that Saidu aka Jones, the East End Lion’s defender will ensure that he plays his best for Musa Tombo not to score and in so doing, create a niche for himself in the same manner Musa Tombo has over the years created a niche for himself. It will definitely be a very difficult game for Musa Tombo if he happens to be the only one that is expected to score goals for his side.
A family member, Alhaji Dauda Musa Bangura said: “Today’s game will see get fireworks and dramatic drama for the fact that uncle and son from the same family would be playing on different sides against each other! Wow! It is intrinsically clear that they both grew up in the same house and slept in the same room. They know and understand each other’s skills, strengths and weak points. Therefore, this match is definitely going to be a very interesting one.”
Members of these two players’ family who are 90 % supporters of East End Lions but will find themselves in a Catch 24 situation as to which one to support!
The big question for today’s encounter is: Will the Uncle allow the Best Attacker to score goals into his defence; or will the Defender tell the Attacker that he is still the Uncle in or out of the pitch and won’t allow the Son to make a name over him in public.
Musa Tombo is Sierra Leone’s most celebrated attacker. He has demonstrated his skills and professionalism in all the internal and external matches he featured in. His style of play is unprecedented and one-of-a-kind.
At the same time, Saidu Musa Bangura is one the smartest defender in the country and a graduate in Financial Services from the University of Sierra Leone which tells you about his smartness and intelligence.
With all these commentaries and analytical perspectives from various personalities, it is an open secret that Bo Rangers will not have an easy day facing East End Lions.
