Liberia Lone star will be in action this weekend in Namibia to play in the African Cup of Nation’s qualifiers (AFCON) slated for next year, in what is expected to be a lot of fireworks with the Liberian side looking to win or draw. Liberia beat Namibia 1-0 in their first leg encounter in Monrovia, thanks to a 67 minute goal from striker Dion Williams.

Coach Kaetu Smith under the spotlight as Lone Star Loses

The Lone Star of Liberia 3-1 loss to the Teranga Lions of Senegal was the team’s nineteenth competitive consecutive away loss. The team last away victory came when the George Weah led generation pinned down Sierra Leone’s Leone Star 1-0, courtesy of a Weah’s booming header on September 21, 2001. Post Weah, the Lone Star has now played nineteen competitive away matches, losing all. In the process, conceding 54 goals and scoring just nine. This sluggish performance began from September 8, 2002, in the 3-0 away loss to the Sylli Nationale of Guinea during the 2004 AFCON qualifier
