Campeh Bi on Wednesday defeated Rising Star 3-1 on penalties, after a 2-2 draw in the regular time at the Serrekunda East Mini Stadium, to progress to the next round of the Serrekunda East Nawettan qualifiers.

John Bass gave Rising Rock FC the first goal in the 2nd minute of the game from a fantastic strike before Janko Ceesay levelled the score for Campeh Bi FC in the 53rd minute of the game from an acrobatic volley to cancel John Bass’s 2nd minute opener and make it 1-all.

Moment later Rising Rock made it 2-1 up when Ansumana Sanneh netted the second goal in the 68th minute of the game before Janko Ceesay levelled the scores for Campeh Bi in the 80th minute of the game from penalty spot to push the game into penalties, which ended 3-1 in favour of Campeh Bi.

The win has snatched a place for Campeh Bi FC in the second round of the 2016 Serrekunda East Nawettan qualifiers, and Rising Rock FC are out and would need to wait until next year, after losing to Campeh Bi on penalties following a 2-2 draw in the regular time.
