Brikama United have seen their five points lead at the top of the Gambian premier league standings sliced to only one point in a matter of just a little over two weeks and three match days following a 1-1 stalemate with serial champions Wallidan in a rescheduled fixture on Tuesday evening.

The West Coast Region side went into the mid-season break with a five points cushion over Banjul rivals in the shapes of Real de Banjul and Wallidan but following a shock 3-1 loss to Interior -a result that also secured Ebrima Manneh’s Interior their first win of the season -in the first game of the second round, Ensa Sambou’s charges failed to hit their stride ever since and are currently at the back of two successful draws.

The result means that Wallidan are still three points adrift of the leaders, Real de Banjul are just within a point of Brikama United following their last gasp 1-0 win over struggling Bakau United at the Independence Stadium on Saturday.

The 1-1 draw was ensured after two quick fired goals from both sides on Tuesday. Wallidan were first to get on the score sheet through charismatic midfielder Lamin Saho but Brikama drew level straight from the kickoff after going down through defender Adama Sabally.
