Youngster David Kamara makes Peterborough’s debut

Sierra Leone’s David Kamara, 19, debuted for Peterborough as they defeated Stevenage 2-0 on Tuesday.

Malik Mothersille and J. Sparkes scored for Peterborough in their Football League Trophy tie. As a result, they are at the top of Group L with six points, ahead of Crystal Palace, Stevenage, and Gillingham.

Recap Happenings

Malik Mothersille’s 11th-minute header and Jack Sparkes’ first goal for the club in 43 minutes were the standout moments.

Jack Sparkes delivered his best performance for Posh, and Emmanuel Fernandez showed continued improvement.

Nicholas Bilokapic provided solid goalkeeping, and teenagers Tyler Young and David Kamara made their first-team debuts as second-half substitutes, all positive developments.

There was a 38-minute rain delay in the second half, frustrating Posh, who were leading 2-0. After the game resumed, the competition holders secured a 2-0 win in the EFL Trophy.

It was a great performance by Sparkes, with continued improvement from Fernandez, solid goalkeeping from Bilokapic, and promising debuts from Young and Kamara as substitutes.

A Group F stalemate between Ghana and Sudan in Accra

A Group F stalemate between Ghana and Sudan in Accra

In the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, Ghana continued to struggle in Group F with another goalless draw against Sudan. (GFA Photo) – the Black Stars couldn’t take advantage of their home ground despite having a lot of possession at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Ghanaian fans were hopeful that the Black Stars would record their first win after their slow start in Group F, which included a surprising home loss to Angola and an away draw against Niger. Despite the significant pressure, Ghana coach Otto Addo remains confident in his team’s abilities.

Players like Jordan Ayew, West Ham attacker Moahmed Kudus, and Antoine Samedu were all part of the starting eleven but couldn’t make a difference in the stalemate.

During the match, Ghana struggled to score, with Mohammed Kudus and Iñaki Williams coming closest to finding the net. However, Sudan’s defence, led by goalkeeper Mohamed Al Mustafa, held strong. Ghana’s attacking players had difficulty breaking through Sudan’s determined defence, and despite late pressure, they were unable to score, resulting in a goalless draw.

In their three matches so far, the Black Stars are currently in third place in Group F with just two points, while Sudan has moved up to second place with four points after securing a draw. Sudan host Ghana in Libya on October 15th for match day four of the qualifiers.

Angola is currently leading the group with six points from two games, and Niger is at the bottom with one point. Angola is scheduled to play against Niger on Friday.

Zimbabwe go top of Group J after win over Namibia

Zimbabwe has taken the lead in Group J  of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers for Morocco next year on five points after securing a 1-0 victory over Namibia.

The match took place at the Orlando Stadium on Thursday afternoon. Zimbabwe scored the winning goal through Khama Billiat in the 34th minute from the penalty spot.

This victory places Namibia at the bottom of the group after losing their first two matches against Cameroon and Kenya.

Zimbabwe currently holds the top position in Group J until the outcome of the match between Kenya and Cameroon, which will take place at the Japoma Stadium in Douala on Friday.

Both Zimbabwe and Namibia will face each other again in a few days in South Africa on neutral ground.

This upcoming match is expected to be closely contested due to the rivalry between the two nations. Namibia must win at least to revive their qualification hopes.
