Liberia has secured 3 points and moved third place in Group H which includes Tunisia, Namibia, Malawi, Sao Tome and Principe and Equatorial Guinea.

It comes after FIIFA sanctioned Equatorial Guinea Football Federation (FEGUIFUT) and star player Emilio Nsue Lopez after the player ineligibly featured in two World Cup Qualifiers (Equatorial Guinea v Namibia, Liberia v Equatorial Guinea) in November 2023.

World football governing body ruling follows after its disciplinary Committee was "comfortably satisfied" that the player was ineligible, but played in those qualifiers and it (FIFA) has declared those games lost by forfeit (3-0).

Nsue Lopez scored the lone goal in Lone Star's one-nil defeat to the Nzalang Nacional in Monrovia on 20 November 2023.

Fifa has also fined the Equatorial Guinea football federation about USD160,000 and handed a six-month ban on the player which FEGUIFUT has until Monday, 3 June to respond.

The decision nonetheless can be appealed before the FIFA Appeal Committee.
