Scoring just two minutes into the match, Kalokoh etched his name in the record books as the first men’s top-flight player to achieve such a feat.
Renowned for his speed, dazzling dribbling, and goal-scoring prowess, Kalokoh capitalized on a rebound in the 18-yard box to propel his team to a crucial 1-0 victory. His exceptional performance earned him the title of man of the match and bolstered Bo Rangers’ lead at the top of the table, now standing eight points ahead of FC Kallon with 45 points.
This latest triumph marks Bo Rangers’ 16th win in the Leone Rock Premier League, a testament to their dominance in the competition. Kalokoh, reflecting on his achievement in an interview with Awoko Newspaper, expressed gratitude for the support of his teammates and fans, describing the experience as exhilarating.
“My goal against FC Kallon has inspired me to strive for more,” Kalokoh remarked. “Scoring what is now recognized as the fastest goal in Sierra Leone’s top-tier history is a tremendous honour and fuels my ambition to continue breaking barriers in football, both nationally and internationally.”
Recalling a similar achievement in the CAF Champions League against LISCAR Football Club in Liberia, Kalokoh emphasized his determination to consistently deliver standout performances. With six goals in 15 league appearances, he sets his sights on clinching the Golden Boot Award by adding to his tally before the season concludes.
“I am focused on closing the gap with the league’s current top scorer, Sulaiman S. Kargbo of East End Lions, who has scored 10 goals,” Kalokoh affirmed, signalling his unwavering commitment to furthering his success on the field.
As Kalokoh continues to dazzle fans and defy expectations, his goal against FC Kallon serves as a testament to his talent and resilience, igniting hopes for even greater achievements in the future. ARW/30/4/2024
