2022 World Cup Qualifiers: Liberia showed Nigeria too much respect – Garkpah

The Liberian Football official feels the Lone Star made it too easy for the Super Eagles to secure victory at the Teslim Balogun Stadium on Friday

Liberia Football Association communication manager Gologo Ben Garkpah feels the Lone Star showed Nigeria too much respect as they suffered a 2-0 loss at the Teslim Balogun Stadium.

Kelechi Iheanacho’s first-half brace pegged down Peter Butler’s men as the three-time African champions began their 2022 World Cup qualification campaign on a winning note.

The West Africans - who had Hatayspor’s Mohammed Kamara on the bench from start to finish - put up a fine showing, albeit, they lacked the cutting edge in the final third.
