Kerkenna hosted Ksour Essaf on the 20th of September for a Club Friendly. The visiting team secured a 1-0 win. It was a result that surprised few given the context of the afternoon.
Kerkenna had been flying high recently. They beat Kala Sport 5-0 and Menzel Bourguiba 4-0 in their last outings. They also secured a narrow 2-1 win over Hammam-Sousse. They drew with Hammam-Lif in May to keep things steady. By then, the pressure was on them to deliver.
Ksour Essaf were elsewhere in form. To be fair, they had a 4-2 win against Gafsa earlier. They had lost to Kasserin and Kala Sport in their last two games.
There were no red cards or controversial moments to discuss. The game flowed but lacked end product from the hosts. And here's the thing, the visitors made their few chances count.
The victory halts Ksour Essaf's slide. Kerkenna now look to regroup before their next fixture. The result stands as a testament to the unpredictability of friendly matches.
