Jah Nyanforh and Emmanuel Sieh got the Lone Star off to a strong start with goals in the first half. The second half saw further dominance from the Lone Star, with goals from Mateus Kolenda and Emmanuel Sieh, who completed his brace, along with an own goal from Sierra Leone.
This match marked the final encounter of a four-game friendly Zonal Tournament between the two teams. The previous matches saw a mix of results:
Liberia 0-0 Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone 1-1 Liberia

Despite displaying resilience throughout the tournament, the Sierra Leone U20 team, also known as the “Shooting Stars,” will be looking to improve their execution of vertical passes and performance in the final third of the pitch for future competitions.
The U-20 Tournament serves as a valuable platform for scouting and selecting young talent to represent both Sierra Leone and Liberia on the international stage. While the Lone Star emerged victorious in the final match, the tournament provided both teams with an opportunity to showcase their skills and gain valuable experience for future endeavors.
