Mohamed Sankoh on target in Heracles Eredivisie debut 

Sierra Leone native Mohamed Sankoh scored a brilliant debut goal in Heracle’s 3-1 win over Excelsior in their Eredivisie tie on Saturday.

Last season, the 19-year-old played 22 matches while on loan at Vitesse and looks set to continue another loan outing in Holland.

The Sierra Leonean-Dutch striker recorded his first of the season in the 85th minute, assisted by Keersmaecker.

He scored two goals and bagged two assists in the Eredivisie last year. To date, he’s made two appearances in the German top flight.

 “It is very important for Mo to play regularly,” Stuttgart sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth noted in a club statement confirming Sankoh’s loan deal. “With Heracles Almelo he has this option in a league he already knows from last season. We wish Mo and Heracles Almelo a successful season.”

Abu Kamara nets first Portsmouth’s League One goal

Abu Kamara recorded his first in senior football from a close-range effort to give the Blues an interval lead in Portsmouth their 3-1 win over Peterborough on Saturday.

Pompey equalised in the 38th minute when a Marlon Pack cross found Bishop to head home from close range. Within five minutes, the home side had the lead.

A corner from the right saw Kwame Poku slice the ball into his six-yard box for a surprised Abu Kamara to sweep home. After Peterborough midfielder Hector Kyprianou headed against his bar, Pompey stretched their advantage on 59 minutes when a powerful low cross from Kamara saw Regan Poole net from close range.

Joe Morrell saw red for the home side after a second yellow five minutes from time, but John Mousinho’s men held on for the points.
