One of Liberia’s oldest club, Invincible Eleven (IE) on Sunday, May 18

Yellow Boys, IE over Mark Professionals. Mark Professional is the only
team yet to salvage a point in the eight-team Premier League.

BUSA to an unbelievable 1-1 draw. BUSA took the lead in the 17th

lead however, was surrendered in the 88th minute when Liberian
international Isaac Tondo’s free kick flipped on the head of BUSA’s
defender, Hilai Lahai for the equalizer.
LISCR FC crushed Alliance FC, 3-0 on Saturday. Another Liberian
international Henry Gobah gave LISCR FC the lead in the 19th minute.
Hoff Fannoh, last year first division top scorer scored twice to
secure victory in the second half.

three games played. He is followed by Isaac Tondo of LPRC Oilers,
Samuel Momo of Monrovia Breweries and Henry Gobah of LISCR FC.
