Kallum Cesay Nets as League Two Leaders Salford’s Draw

Sierra Leone International Kallum Cesay scored his second goal of the season to help Salford City FC earn a 1-1 draw against Northampton Town.

The league leaders found themselves behind early, as Elliott Moore blasted a stunning shot into the top-right corner just two minutes into the match, thanks to a setup from his centre-back partner, John Guthrie.

Salford nearly pulled level in the 32nd minute when Adebola Oluwo’s looping header from a Luke Garbutt free-kick was tipped onto the crossbar by Northampton goalkeeper Ross Fitzsimons.

The home side continued to apply pressure and finally equalised in the 64th minute, when Cesay calmly converted Daniel Udoh’s low center into the bottom right corner.

After conceding, Salford’s goalkeeper, Will Norris, easily dealt with Owen Dale’s weak effort from the edge of the box as the Cobblers sought to regroup.

With just two minutes left on the clock, Connor Lemonheigh-Evans squandered a chance to give Northampton the lead, heading straight at Norris from close range.

In the end, neither team could secure a late winner, and the match ended in a stalemate.
