Striker Alie Conteh nets hattrick for Norwegian side Mjøndalen

Striker Alie Conteh scored his first hat-trick for Mjøndalen IF on Sunday in their Obos Ligaen match against Valerenga IF at Consto Arena. 

With a final score of 5-3, Conteh’s impressive performance contributed greatly to the team’s win, which moved them to eighth in the league standings.

Conteh has scored four goals in his last four matches for the Norwegian side. He entered Sunday’s match ten minutes before halftime, replacing an injured Brinder Singh, and scored twice before the break. 

Throughout the match, the Sierra Leonean proved to be a constant source of trouble for Valerenga’s poorly organized defence. Conteh completed his hat-trick in the 75th minute, and Keerat Singh Mann scored their fifth goal of the game.

Although Valerenga rallied and scored three goals, it wasn’t enough to secure a win. Next, Mjøndalen IF will play at home on Saturday against Aalesunds FK at Consto Arena.

Zamalek beat Dreams to end Confederation Cup run in Kumasi

Zamalek has successfully made it to the CAF Confederation Cup final after defeating Dreams FC from Ghana 3-0 on Sunday. 

The first leg held in Cairo was goalless, but the Dreams FC’s impressive run in the Confederation Cup has ended as they lost 3-0 to Zamalek in Kumasi.

Zamalek’s Hamza Mathlouthi scored early in the game, followed by Samson Akinyoola and Mustafa Shalaby, who sealed the win with a late strike. 

Dreams FC had already defeated Stade Malien to reach the semi-finals and had hoped to cause another upset, but the Tunisian defender’s header silenced the Kumasi crowd. 

The Ghanaian side missed chances to score while Zamalek’s Omar Gaber and Hossam Abdelmaguid almost increased their lead. 

Shalaby’s goal after an hour mark sealed Dreams FC’s fate. Zamalek won with their trademark mix of power and guile and advanced to the final.
