The league leaders, Watanga, went into the match as the only team in the top-flight league unbeaten after 16 games. LPRC Oilers ended Watanga\u2019s unbeaten start to the season as the boys from Paynesville self-destructed in their 2-1 defeat on Sunday, February 11, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Copper Sannah\u2019s side were well on top after taking the lead through Emmanuel Sieh\u2019s strike late in the first half, a lead they maintained up to the break. But after the interval, LPRC were handed a lifeline soon when they leveled things from the experienced Gideon Williams\u2019 strike.<\/p>\n<p>It got worse for Watanga as youngster Roland Kamei scored Oilers\u2019 second of the evening to secure all three points from the Oil Boys and at the same time, to end Watanga\u2019s unbeaten run.<\/p>\n<p>Watanga\u2019s visit to Oilers was seen as the acid test for Sannah\u2019s men, and it started perfectly when they hit the opener that goalkeeper Alpha Jalloh could only push into the net. But Oilers kept their focus as they leveled things in the second half, and from that moment, they took control of the game until they got the match-winner.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s result moved Oilers up the table to ninth place with 20 points, while Watanga remained at the top of the table with 36 points.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, leaders Global Pharma FC bounced back to winning ways with a hard-fought 1-0 win over NPA Anchors at the ATS to move up the table to seventh with 21 points from 17 games played, while NPA remained at the bottom of the table with five points.<\/p>\n<p>At SKD Practice pitch, Mighty Barrolle showed they have the stomach to fight for the title. The Rollers, who have been impressive since the start of the campaign, outplayed FC Kallon Liberia to a 4-1 win. Barrolle is now second on the table with 34 points, while Kallon FC dropped into the relegation zone with 16 points and is in 12th place.<\/p>\n<p>Title contender Heaven Eleven FC settled for a 2-2 draw away to Nimba Kwado. The result puts Heaven Eleven in fourth place with 32 points, while Kwado is in eighth place with 21 points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
