Mr. Adeboye Amosu, please try and give us a better report. What was the score of the game? It seems like it was 2-1 to Kwara United but i’m not completely sure. What country id RS Berkane from? Don’t you think these are pertinent bits of information that should be contained in a report?
As an edit to my post, I do see that you mentioned the opposition being from Morrocco
