Leone Stars Defender Juma Bah Shines in Lens’s Crucial Ligue 1 Victory Over St Etienne
Sierraloaded Sierra Leone international defender Abdulai Juma Bah delivered another commanding performance for RC Lens on Sunday, playing the full 90 minutes in their hard-fought 1-0 Ligue 1 victory over AS Saint-Etienne.
The crucial home win keeps Lens’s aspirations for European competition alive while deepening the relegation worries for the visiting side.
Bah, a tenacious and increasingly influential figure in the Lens defense, contributed significantly to his team’s solid performance, helping them secure a vital clean sheet. This match marked the third consecutive start for the Leone Stars player, and remarkably, Lens has maintained a clean sheet in all three of those encounters.
The tightly contested match saw Lens secure the three points thanks to a 75th-minute strike from forward Goduine Koyalipou. The victory in the 28th round of Ligue 1 lifts Lens and puts further pressure on Saint-Etienne, who now sit perilously in 17th place, just outside the relegation zone.
Abdulai Juma Bah is a rising star in Sierra Leonean football. A versatile defender known for his strong tackling, aerial ability, and composure on the ball, Bah has become a consistent presence in the Lens backline.
His recent run of starts and clean sheets demonstrates his growing confidence and the trust placed in him by manager Will Still.
