Red Star FC on Sunday defeated Mighty Ajax FC 2-1 in a tightly-contested final played at the Gunjur Nyamina Mini Stadium to clutch the 2024-2025 Kombo Real Estate and Hon. Ousman Gaku sponsored Gunjur ‘nawettan’ knock out trophy.

Both sides made an excellent start to the match and crafted several goal scoring opportunities but failed to capitalise on them.

Midfielder Lamin Jammeh alias Bruno scored a brace for Red Star FC after the interval to earn the Red Star boys a slender 2-1 win over Might Ajax FC.

As champions, Red Star FC went home with medals, a giant trophy and D40, 000 while Mighty Ajax FC received medals and 30,000 as runners-up.
