24 mins: Mali's Seydou Keita is fouled from 20 yards out, earning Zizi Roberts the yellow card. Segbwe also receives a yellow for wasting time making the wall. Mali wastes the freekick hitting it straight into the Liberia players..

20 mins: Weah engineers the first chance for Liberia. The captain volleys forward to Prince Daye, but he just fails to put direction to his shot.
