The Gambia Ports Authority hammered Gamtel 1-0 in the 1st Division league on Sunday 10 July 2011 at the Serrekunda East Mini Stadium. The clash was an interesting and entertaining march characterized by a free flow of wonderful passes and shots. GPA dictates the tempo of the first half for the better part of what appeared to be a pulsating march, but the team could not make gainful results due to the well-organised Gamtel back line.

After a toothless bite in the first half of the game, Gamtel re-asserted them to fight for the three points but they failed in the process due to some poor finishing.

Ousman Saho of GPA breaks the deadlock that was hovering in the pitch when he came off as a substitute and catapulted a hard knock shot and scored which became a hugely controversial winner for GPA.

Speaking to our reporter after the victory coach Bonu Johnson of GPA said it was a very difficult game. He said Gamtel came to play man to man but his men were patient enough until the opportunity comes then they made the best use of it. He urges his players to keep the momentum and thanks them for the victory.

Gamtel’s coach, speaking to reporters dismissed the lingering notion that they have put all their efforts on the WAFU tournament and not the GFA league. He registers his heartfelt disappointment about the game. He expressed optimism that they can win the title.
