In a thrilling encounter at the Gold Project in Yundum, Hawks FC and TMT FC battled to a 1-1 draw in a match brimming with flair and intensity. The headline moment belonged to Hawks’ substitute Salim Ceesay, who marked his first goal for the club with a stunning acrobatic strike, though it wasn’t enough to secure victory.
Ceesay, a creative midfielder, entered the fray and wasted no time making an impact. Just five minutes after coming off the bench, he latched onto a precise pass and unleashed a spectacular volley in the 72nd minute, sending the Hawks faithful into raptures. The goal, a deserved reward for Hawks’ dominance, seemed poised to clinch all three points.
However, TMT FC had other plans. Capitalizing on a rare defensive lapse, the home side pounced when a Hawks center-back lost possession in a dangerous area. TMT’s clinical forward made no mistake, slotting home from close range to restore parity just minutes after Ceesay’s opener. The equalizer silenced the traveling Hawks supporters and shifted momentum.
