It was Ezekiel Varney who responded two minutes after Mansaray’s curtain raiser to keep both nations at per in the first half until Emmanuel Flomo doubled the lead for the host two minutes on to the end of the match.


The result follows a Friday earliest 3-1 defeat to Senegal and now means end of the road for the Sierra Leone U15 Male team in the second edition of the WAFU-A youthful competition, after falling to win one of their two matches in the new plan of this year’s contest which started on bright notes for the Sierra Leonean Lads after they walloped Mauritanian 6-0 but the result was nullified by the organizers after the Mauritanians pullout of the tournament to let the tournament to continue on a new format between three nations.


However, Senegal were crowned champions of the tournament after beating host Liberia 3-0 to finish top of the group, followed by the host whose 2-1 win over Sierra Leone has helped them to earn the second spot from the zonal youth where they’re the runners up to the upcoming U15 Nous Nation’s Cup to be hosted in Nigeria.
