Liberty Professionals made to sweat for progress in MTN FA Cup
Liberty Professionals were made to work to save
their Premier League reputation by third-tier side
Charity Stars in the Ghana MTN FA Cup on Saturday.


George Lamptey men made a short trip to
Darkoman-Bubuashie within Accra to seek progress
to the next stage of the competition but were made
to work for it.

The host hoarded possession in the early minutes
and threatened the Liberty goal area but they
failed to turn their dominance into goals.

Liberty used their experience to gradually creep
into the game and dully scored the first goal of
the game on the half-hour mark through Louis
Marfo.

The youngster raced himself into space before
playing a beautiful one-two combination with
Michael Appiah before poking the return ball home
for the opener.

The host, mainly part-timers, returned from the
break with some inspiration and cracked in the
equaliser with Frank Abbeyson scoring an
intelligent finish.

Stars fought strong and prevented Liberty from
claiming the winner within regulation time as the
game headed for shoot-outs.

Though the Scientific Soccer Lads missed some of
their kicks, they went ahead to emerge victors
with a 4-3 win.
