Salif Cheya Shines as MWOS FC Secures Historic Win Over Highlanders

Salif Cheya was the hero of the day as his 61st-minute strike secured a historic 1-0 victory for MWOS FC against Highlanders FC in their Castle Lager Premier Soccer League debut at Baobab Stadium. The 29-year-old forward capitalized on a defensive mix-up to slot home from close range, marking a dream start for the Punters in the top flight.

Cheya, known for his ball control, dribbling, and clinical finishing, showcased why he is a key asset for MWOS FC. His career highlights include finishing as the second-top goal scorer in 2022 while helping Herentals D1 secure second runners-up and topping Golden Eagles’ scoring charts last season with 8 goals.

Born on October 20, 1994, Cheya’s playing style revolves around keeping possession, creating chances, and delivering in front of goal. His match-winning performance against Highlanders is proof of his growing influence and ability to rise to the occasion.

With this goal, Cheya has already begun etching his name into MWOS FC’s history books. The Punters will look to build on this momentum as they continue their PSL journey.
