The female football national team of Liberia , Lone Star, put up a rather disappointing performance before home fans at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium (ATS) on Sunday, February 18, 2007.
The match, which the female Lone Star lost 3-0 against Ethiopia was a 2008 Olympic Games qualifiers.
Addis Felekis scored the visitors’ first goal after the home side became a victim of fast play in the 43rd minute.
Back from recess, few changes made by Lone Star coach Lucretia Tokpa yielded no fruit as the Ethiopians, having dominated proceedings, made it 2-0 through Birtukan Gebrekistos, who was probably the match’s best player due to her splendid displays.
Second half substitute Helen Seifu dribbled the Liberian goalkeeper to finally dash any hope of the female Lone Star attempting to make a comeback.
In two weeks’ time, the return leg of the match is scheduled to be held in Addis Ababa .
