Prolific
striker Mbasey Darboe alias Messi made a stunning second half strike, which
fired Interior to the 2016-2017 Women domestic league season opener Super Cup
title, after deadlock in the first half.
The
police outfit beat Abuko United 1-0 in a well-attended final game, played at the
Serrekunda East Mini Stadium on Sunday.
Abuko
United dominated the entire game, and came very close to opening the scores in
the 34th minute of the game through Fatou Jobe, but her brilliant shot was
denied by Interior’s net-minder Aminata Darboe.
Interior,
who failed to establish themselves well in the game, also came close to opening
the scores through prolific striker Mbasey Darboe in the 36th minute of the
game, but her shot was blocked by Mariama Malack, and thus the first half ended
goalless.
Upon
resumption of the game, Abuko United maintained their composure and continued
to mount pressure on Interior, but failed to utilize their limited goal-scoring
opportunities, before striker Mbasey Darboe alias Messi netted the winner in
the 76th minute of the game.
As
champions, Interior went home with a trophy and cash prize of D20, 000, whilst
Abuko United received D10, 000 as runners up.
