Sierra Leone's skipper, Ibrahim Kamara, scored a hat-trick to lead his team to a 5-3 victory against Lebanon in the quarter-final of the Sydney World Cup.

Kellie Bangura, who had also scored a hat-trick in the previous quarter-final against Syria, added another goal to his tally, making it five goals in the tournament so far.
