Back and Next - Back and NextAziz and 'Babayeh' miss out
Wednesday, October 29, 2008
The Swedish Superettan (second division) season ended in disappointment for Aziz Corr Nyang and Lamin ‘Babayeh’ Conateh’s Assyriska.
After spending the greater part of the season swaying between automatic promotion and play-off spots the team tumbled out of both on the final weekend of the season when they suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 loss at home Angelholm.
The defeat condemns the team to another year in the second division, more than they had wished after their promotion from the third division last season.
Assyriska dominated the opening proceedings and their efforts were rewarded after only 10 minutes when Ostlundh converted a penalty to give the home side the lead.
With Aziz starting on the bench, Assyriska continued to dominate but failing to convert their chances they were punished by the visitor 5 minutes into the second half.
The equalizer forced the coach to bring on crowd favorite Aziz in the 60th minute. The substitution nearly paid-off instantly when the Gambian international dribbled pass two opponents but instead of shooting from a good position he chose to lay the ball on for Goran Marklund, who wasted a glorious chance with an audacious lob attempt.
Aziz’s Gambia team mate Lamin ‘Babayeh’ Conateh was again unused for the game.
