The national U-20 team will today face Mali in the second semi-final match of the ongoing WAFU U-20 tournament at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex. In their opening match, the Junior Lone Star performed dismally and were thrashed 3-0 by Junior Elephants of La Cote d’Ivoire. His statement was backed by the team’s weekend 5-1 performance against Sierra Leone at the ATS. He said the change was made to avoid match-fixing when Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea Bissau were in contention for the last slot in Group A after Cote d’Ivoire had earlier qualified. Both teams won two and lost one out of three games, although the Malians qualified as winners of Group B.
