Harambee Stars and Etoile du Sahel defender, Alphonce Omija, maintained his starting berth as the Tunisian top-tier side drew CA Bizerte 1-1 in a professional league tie played this Saturday, November 8, 2025, in Tunisia.

The former Gor Mahia centre back continued his first-team action as the Red and White hit the road to face their hosts for the 14th league tie.

Sahel sought better tidings after slumping to a 2-1 defeat to Olympique Ebja in their last league outing.

Concede

Their quest for maximum points, however, kicked off on a sour note after conceding a 30th-minute penalty via Ibrahima Cissoko.

An instant response from Cristo, however, restored parity for the visitors just three minutes after going behind.

Omija lasted for 75 minutes in the tie before being replaced.

With the draw, Sahel is now ranked in the top ten teams, coming in at ninth with 19 points.

Esperance, Club Africaine, and Stade de Tunis are the early pacesetters of the league, with the leaders topping the logs on 30 points.

The other teams follow, respectively, on 27 points apiece.

Bizerte, on their part, remained 11th after 14 games.

In another clash in Europe, Clarke Oduor was an unused substitute as Grimsby Town Football Club played to a 2-2 draw in the English League Two clash.

John Kabia and Robert Green bagged first-half goals to see Mariners to a 2-1 lead.

David Artell’s team, however, conceded a second-half goal to settle for a share of the spoils in the clash.

The clash for the Mariners comes after their dominant 5-3 win over Everton U21, where the Kenyan winger bagged his maiden league goal.
