Salford City manager apologizes after League Two opening defeat to Barnet

Barnet secured a 3-1 victory over Salford City in their League Two season opener at The Hive. The win for the Bees was driven by goals from Oisin Gallagher, Charlie Lakin, and Kabongo Tshimanga. Salford managed a late consolation goal through Adebola Oluwo, but were unable to overcome a strong first-half performance by the visitors.

Following the defeat, Salford City manager Peter Cklamovski issued an apology to the club's supporters. Cklamovski, who previously served as a long-time assistant to Ange Postecoglou, stated that the performance was not a true reflection of the team's identity. He took responsibility for the result, noting that the squad was “devastated” and “gutted” by the loss.
