Africa-Press – Liberia. The new Liberia Football Association Second Division League kicked off with thrilling matches held across the country as 16 teams vied for supremacy.Newly promoted Ganta-based Mighty Enforcers seized the top spot on matchday one, securing a resounding 33-0 victory over Margibi FC. Joseph Kennedy shone with a first-half brace away from home at the Nancy B. Doe Stadium.

In Careysburg, last season’s highest goal scorer, Momo Blamo, completed a hat trick in the 78th minute against PAGS, propelling Shaita FC to a strong start to the new season as the match concluded 3-1.

In a game of two halves, Nimba United staged a remarkable comeback after falling two goals behind in the first half to stun Jubilee, who were reduced to ten men, with a final score of 3-2. Nimba United needed just 18 minutes in the second half to turn the tide against fellow relegated side Jubilee FC at the SKD Practice pitch. Jubilee had taken a 2-0 lead within the first 30 minutes, courtesy of Ballack Somah and Trokon Yancy, but Jose Walley’s brace and James Sumo’s lone goal orchestrated a dramatic turnaround for the Adolphus Dolo boys. Jubilee regained control of proceedings after falling behind 3-2, creating several chances, but anxiety in the Church Boys’ forward line led to missed opportunities. Jubilee’s woes deepened when their right-back received a second yellow card, reducing them to ten men just five minutes before the final whistle.

Philadelphia Lone Star (PLS) emerged victorious in a thrilling five-goal encounter against Samira at SKD PP, with their towering striker, George Jangaley, among the scorers.
