Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Fans of the Paynesville FC left the Samuel K Doe Sports Complex Sunday with tears in their eyes following the demolition of their team by Watanga FC in the Liberia Football Association Super Cup.<\/p>\n

The 2024-2025 Liberia football season finally commenced with the \u201cSolder Boys\u201d, Watanga FC, proving to be a serious contender for the league titles as demonstrated by Sunday\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

Liberian champions Watanga FC proved their supremacy over Paynesville with a comfortable 4-0 win to lift the first trophy of the new league season.<\/p>\n

Paynesville went into the match hoping to improve on the performance from last season, but things didn\u2019t go their way in the first match of the new season.<\/p>\n

Despite winning three games in the CAF Confederation Cup recently that did not scare Watanga, who put up a good fight to kick-start the season in style.<\/p>\n

The fans were kept close to their seats in the opening minutes of the match, and both teams had a fair share of the ball following a classical display from both sides.<\/p>\n

Paynesville could have taken the lead but Mark Paye\u2019s shot travelled over the crossbar when he was put through by Lawrence Kumeh.<\/p>\n

Watanga FC\u2019s highest goal scorer from last season, Emmanuel Sieh, scored a hat-trick after a disappointing WAFU U-20 tournament in Liberia.Young Sieh got the match opener from the penalty spot when Paynesville FC Captain Ayetay Yangbe used his hand to prevent a goal, but he was shown a straight red card and penalty given, which Sieh converted by sending the keeper the wrong way.<\/p>\n

Down by a man and a goal, things got worse for the Citizens minutes later after the opening goal when Chris Dennis headed in his own goal.<\/p>\n

The Citizens of Paynesville fought to get a consolation before the break but were denied by the youthful defense of Watanga.<\/p>\n

The two teams created chances in the first half, but it was Watanga who got two goals in the first half.<\/p>\n

Despite their numerical disadvantage, Paynesville FC returned stronger after the break to get a goal but couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Sieh scored two goals after the restart to complete his hat-trick to end the match 4-0 to Watanga.<\/p>\n

Before the match between Paynesville FC and Watanga, the Women\u2019s Super-Cup title was won by Shaita Angels FC.<\/p>\n

Shaita Angels came from a goal down to draw with Determine Girls.<\/p>\n

The girls of both teams displayed classical football that the fans were impressed with as the game was decided from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

Shaita Angels won 4-3 to clinch the 2024 Liberia Football Association Women\u2019s Super-Cup title.<\/p>\n

It was a sweet revenge for Shaita Angels who lost the 2023 Super Cup narrowly to Determine Girls with 2-1.<\/p>\n
