Real De Banjul have suffered a defeat in the club’s fifty-year anniversary international football tournament after losing to Serrekunda East on penalties in the quarterfinal game played at the Independence Stadium in Bakau on Wednesday.

Real Banjul held top spot in the group stage with four points after beating FC Nouadihbou 2-0 and goalless draw against Senegalese Olympic De Ngor in their opening game prior to their Wednesday’s quarterfinal clash with Serrekunda East.

Real De Banjul came into the game as the favourite to progress to the semifinal but were shocked by Serrekunda East on penalties, after the regulation time finished goalless.

Real De Banjul will now switch their attention to the 2016-2017 domestic division one league season following their elimination from the club’s fifty-year anniversary international football tournament by Serrekunda East on Wednesday.
