Juba Local League Champion Malakia FC and representatives to the ongoing 2023\/24, 11th<\/sup> edition of the South Sudan National League have progressed to the second round of the competition unbeaten after 2:1 win over Lion Hunters of Yei.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Jowang Kaka was named man of the match after his two strikes helped his team finish top of group B with 9 points ahead of Young Stars of Torit who finished second with 6 points after coming from a goal down to overcome Nile City of Yambio 2:1 in the last fixtures of Group B played on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

This is the third win for Malakia FC in the competition following a 5:0 victory against Nile City of Yambio and a 1:0 win against Young Stars of Toirt scoring 8 goals in the process and conceding 1 only against Loin Hunters.<\/p>\n

In Group B, Young Stars of Torit, Nile City, and Loin Hunters all crushed out of the competition after failing the secure the top spot.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another game played on Thursday evening in Wau Stadium in Wau showed Holy Family of Rumbek demolished Al-Salam FC of Kaujok by 8:1 in Group A fixtures to finish third in the competition whereas the match between Al-Hilal FC of Wau and Al-Salam FC Aweil played yesterday ended goalless.<\/p>\n

For Al-Hilal FC to stand any chance of progressing to the next round they should have beaten table leaders Al-Salam FC, however, their failure to secure victory yesterday means Al-Salam FC progressed unbeaten too with 7 points out of three matches played and Al-Hilal FC crushed out the competition after finishing second with 5 points after winning one, drawing against Al-Salami FC-Aweil and Al Salam FC-Kaujok and winning against Holy Family FC.<\/p>\n

In the second round of the fixtures, Al-Salam FC Aweil and Malakia FC who have already qualified will wait for the Group C winner which has Al-Merriekh FC Bentiu who is currently on the table with 3 points and 8 goals difference after humiliating Al-Tahiri 8:0 in their opening fixtures on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
