Coach Ebou Jarra of Real de Banjul has said that when playing against teams like Hawks FC, one needs to maintain discipline with higher tempo to have a chance of winning them.

“Since I came back into the country, I knew Hawks to be one of the teams that keep the ball very well. They are a well organize team that plays very well and with discipline,” he added.

Coach Jarra was speaking on Saturday after his side defeated Hawks 1-0 in their week-seven fixtures of The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) division one league played at the Independence Stadium in Bakau.

He further said that they did not perceive ending the game with ten men, noting that during their free up session ahead of the game, they played 12 against 11 for over 45 minutes.

“Every win and every game is important but let’s try to remember that it is part of football to have the climax and anti-climax. I am not saying that it is a bad start for us but just that we do not expect to lose two games this early in the league. But one should expect to go up if you started at the bottom,” he also said.

 The win has moved Real de Banjul to third position with 11 points, while Hawks sits twelfth position with 6 points after seven matches.
