IE, LISCR bow out of LFA Knockout



The LFA knockout competition continued yesterday with two of Liberia’s biggest clubs bowing out of the competition at the ATS in Monrovia.

Defending knockout champion IE were beaten by a goal to nil at the hands of NPA. The port boys got the winner midway in the first half, the yellow boys fight in vain to level the score line.

In the second encounter, the country’s two best teams (arguably), defending champions LISCR FC and BYC, played full time without a goal. However, post match penalty shootout saw BYC go through to the next round of the competition on a 5-4 score line.

The match was one of the best seen at the ATS in many years. However, LISCR took much of the possession and chances on goal.

The competition continues today with Nimba United taking on BYC II, and 3rd division side Junior Gardnersville meets 1st division side Gardnersville FC at the ATS.

On Sunday April 22, M.B. Engel second division side Sime Darby in Unification Town. At the same venue, Mighty Electron takes on LPRC oilers in the second match.

At the ATS on Sunday, NPA takes on BYC in the first match, while Watanga meets M.C. Breweries.
The winners of the above matches will advance to the quarter final stage of the competition.

Meanwhile, round 10 of the National Cellcom league resumes Monday April 23 at the ATS and other venues across the country.
