Liberia' Hopes Crashed |
The Lone Star, which paraded a miserable and
inadequate prepared side, has becomes a
laughing stock amongst its competitors
having missed the glamorous event fours year
ago by the slimmest of chance.
Dramane Coulibaly opened the scoring for
Mali after converting a penalty after just
five minutes when France-based Mahamadou
Diarra was fouled in the area.
Another Coulibaly strike in the second half
doubled his country's lead.
Souleymane Diamoutene gave Mali its third
goal through a spot-kick after Diarra was
fouled again in the goal area.
Liberia
pulled one back through Shelton Barlee in
the 58th minute before Diarra put the match
beyond doubt with a strike in the 75th
minute.
Mali
is now in fifth position with five points
while Liberia is bottom with four points.
