Striker Amadou Bakayoko nets in draw against Kilmarnock 

Sierra Leone Striker Amadou Bakayoko opened the scoring for Dundee in the 16th minute in their 2-2 draw at the Dens Parks on Saturday. 

Dundee’s smart start as Bakayoko knocked in at the back post after a Joe Shaughnessy flick-on. But Kilmarnock responded with a Danny Armstrong’s strike at the hour mark to draw parity. 

Danny Armstrong doubled the visitors lead in the 81st minute as it looked to have given Kilmarnock all three points when he tapped home Andrew Dallas’ cross at the back post.

However, Zak Rudden’s 92nd-minute strike ensured a point for 10-man Dundee as they clawed Kilmarnock back in a Scottish Premiership thriller at Dens Park.

Bakayoko on a season-long loan from Forest Green, making his seventh appearance for the Dark Blues in the Scottish Premiership.

New Egaleo deal for midfielder John Kamara in Greece

Greek Super League 2 side Egaleo has announced midfielder John Kamara has signed a new deal for the 2023-24 season.

The midfielder signed for the Egaleo last January and has been a pivotal player for the club.

He made eleven appearances for the club, helping them avoid relegation as they finished tenth last season.

“PAE AEGALEO 1931 announces with great pleasure the renewal of its cooperation with John Bankole Kamara from Sierra Leone.

The 34-year-old international African midfielder joined our team last January, and in the 11 appearances he made with the “blue and white” Kamara showed excellent elements which “kept” him at City and the new season.”

Egaleo is to kick start their new season with an away trip to Tilikratis Lefkada on Sunday.

George Davies' Flyeralarm share spoils in League derby

George Davies’ Flyeralarm share spoils in Liga 2 derby

In front of their home fans, Flyeralarm Admira came from behind twice to rescue a point against visitors SKN St. Polten in the 8th round of Liga 2 in Austria.

Sierra Leone International George Davies started the contest against former side SKN St. Polten and played the full throttle at the BSFZ Arena on Friday. 

The draw means Polten from the Lower Austrian capital missed on a temporary top-of-the-table spot.

Bernd Gschweidl had opened the scoring for the visitors just before the hour mark, but Georg Teigl, after an impressive offensive action, got the leveller in the 43rd minute.

B. Gschweidl doubled the score line in the 71-minute, putting Polten ahead before Patrick Schmidt drew parity for Polten six minutes later. 

There were no more goals between the two arch-rivals as they ended 2-2 after the final whistle. 

George Davies departed the Polten on January 6, 2023, to join FC Flyeralarm Admira despite being a fan favourite for over five years after he amassed almost 100 games for St. Pölten.

From the first second, it was a competitive game. The Panthers had the first dangerous goal area scene, but captain Zwierschitz headed past the goal (3rd).
