​By: Alusine Rehme Wilson

The team from Sierra Leone which had traveled way over to Dubai to host the said encounter lose grip of the match in the 57th minutes and Algeria’s Shoaib Kdad took advantage to net the day’s opener.

His goal opened the flood gate as his teammates Ahmed Qandousi and Abdul Rahman Mezian increased the visitors lead to 3-0 after netting respectively in the 71st and 77th minute.

Host Sierra Leone could not replied the visitors and things became worse for them when their skipper Steven Roy Caulker was red-carded.

The result has been described by sports pundits and followers of the Sierra Leone senior team as “humiliating” advancing that “the local football federation-(SLFA) and their partners who’ve initiated the said match have just thrown the Nation’s pride on Algeria’s senior national team that was earned when they forced them to a barren drew at the delayed 2021-TotalEngergies AFCON to the drains.”

The defeat and widely talked about humiliation for the “Leone Stars” comes after the team was being smuggled with a bloated delegation of over 20 officials plus 23 players for two rumored friendly matches with one being annulled.

Meanwhile, the Sports Writers Association of  Sierra Leone-(SWASAL), the umbrella body for sports journalists in the county has in a press statement since urged the nation’s Anti-Corruption Commission-(ACC) to investigate the pioneers that surreptitiously moved the Sierra Leone team to Dubia with out communicating to the public about the said “friendly matches tour turned preparation camp,” as described by the SWASAL President Sahr Moriss Junior.
