Interior are two points clear on the top of the GFA second division league following their hard fought 1-0 win over Young Africans in their week ten re-scheduled game at the Father Gough Sports Complex in Manjai Kunda last Thursday.

Interior, who are really playing all out for a promotion to the top flight football next season mounted heavy pressure on the Young Africans defence but were unable to break the deadlock in the first half.

In resumption of the second half, Young Africans who are third from bottom and are fighting for survival in the second division, reacted positively with more counters on Interior but failed to score.

Interior opened the score through striker Modou Lamin Touray in the 75th minute of the game from a brilliant strike. Young Africans though they had fought back and created a lot of chances, they failed however to score and the game ended 1-0 in favour of Interior.
