Power outage force postponement of Sierra Leone - Liberia Wafu Cup of Nations clash

The West African Football Union (Wafu) Cup of Nations match between Sierra Leone and Liberia was abandoned in the 70th minute due to power failure at the Stade Lat Dior in Thies, Senegal on Sunday.

The lights went out and the match was forced to be called off as Sierra Leone led 1-0.

Striker Suffian Kalokoh’s first-half goal thrust the Leone Stars ahead before a blackout inside the Stade Lat Dior.

Kalokoh profited from Liberia's defensive error as he struck five minutes before the half-time break to separate the two sides ahead of the game's restart.
