Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Monrovia- The Lone Star of Liberia have qualify for the group stage of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers after eliminating Djibouti at home.<\/p>\n

Liberia secure their qualifications on at the Samuel K Doe Sports Complex on Tuesday when they played out to a goalless draw with Djibouti in the preliminaries rounds for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.<\/p>\n

It was an unimpressive display from the home side Lone Star who were overplayed by the visitors.<\/p>\n

Though Djibouti lost the first leg 2-0 but had a very decent game as they control the game in the early stages and most part of the game.<\/p>\n

In the 34th minutes Murphy Oscar Dorley wasted a golden opportunity after Sabastian Teclar deliver a cross but Lone Star Captain blew the ball over the cross bar.<\/p>\n

The visitors who needed a win had few changes but the home side stood their ground to denied Djibouti a goal.<\/p>\n

First half ended goalless following some missed chances by the Liberian team and excellent control by Djibouti.<\/p>\n

Liberia came close in added time to score from a set piece 26 yards out.<\/p>\n

The Djiboutians had more of the ball, but has failed to create any clear cut chance as the 1st half draws to a close.<\/p>\n

Back from the break terry Sackor missed a free header after Oscar cross in the box.<\/p>\n

The visitors had a chance to open the scoring but Lone Star keeper Abdulla Koulibaly made a decent save.<\/p>\n

Djibouti was later reduced to ten men after an unsportsmenship attack on Terry Sackor.<\/p>\n

At the last minute of the game Liberia striker William Gibson missed a free goal to secure all three points for the home side.<\/p>\n

The game ended goalless but Liberia qualify over Djibouti 2-0 on aggregate following their away win over Djibouti in the first leg<\/p>\n

Liberia has never won a competitive game at home since October of 2019 and fans are not impressed with the Team\u2019s performance despite their qualification.<\/p>\n
