And that's all for now! Thank you very much for watching this 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers match. Stay tuned for more Qualifiers matches on this FIFA date. Good afternoon and see you next time!

After goals in the first half of the match, Liberia and São Tomé played a slow second half with little happening on the field, closing the score without changes, with Liberia winning 2-1 at home!

Another change in São Tomé and Príncipe: Neves came off and Waldimison came on, who launched himself into the attack trying to create danger, but still without success or even finishing on goal, in a second half with few chances.

São Tomé makes a change at the moment: Dola leaves and Tinho enters. The visiting team tries to balance the match again, but can no longer maintain possession, in a game that has lost much of its rhythm in the last minutes.

Another double substitution for Liberia: Otu and Laomie are replaced by Teah and Gibson. Liberia once again tries to maintain possession, exchanging passes and trying to control the game, which they continue to win 2-1, but without finishing or posing any danger to the opposing goal.

Yellow card for Dweh, for a handball at the edge of the box. The free kick was taken by Malé, but the ball hit the wall. São Tomé starts to press and tries to maintain possession in the attacking half, but still without success in causing any danger to the attack!

Both teams are currently making two substitutions, with two substitutions each. In Liberia, Andrews and Kosiah were replaced by Konneh and Teclar. In São Tomé and Príncipe, Ramos and Vilhete were replaced by Silva and Fernandes....

Both teams are currently making two substitutions, with two substitutions each. In Liberia, Andrews and Kosiah were replaced by Konneh and Teclar. In São Tomé and Príncipe, Ramos and Vilhete were replaced by Silva and Fernandes.

In this second half we have a more balanced game, where the two teams do not constantly create danger or manage to finish, in a game locked in the midfield, with neither team dominating the game so far.

And confirming that, at half-time, Liberia changed: Farkarlun came off and Ledlum came on. And Ledlum was going to receive the pass in front to go face to face with Mateuys, but he was offside and the move was disallowed.

The players return to the pitch and we already have the ball rolling for the second stage of Liberia x São Tomé and Príncipe, in the sixth round of the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, with all the action here on VAVEL!

And here we come to the end of an exciting first half! Liberia dominated for almost the entire first half and was comfortably leading 2-0, with goals from Andrews and Farkarlun, but saw Dola pull one back in the end and put São Tomé and Príncipe back in the match, in a second half that promises to be intense!

In a good passing move, Ramos received the ball and found Afonso, who passed it to Dola to invade the area and shoot hard, high, with no chance for the goalkeeper to defend, reducing the score and putting São Tomé back in the game!

Malé, on the left, received the pass up front and invaded the area to hit a powerful cross, but Songo palmed the ball away, saving Liberia, in one of São Tomé and Príncipe's few chances in the match!

Tweh, at the edge of the area, received a pass from Otu in the pivot and hit it hard, sending the ball over the goal, in yet another good arrival for Liberia in the match, which despite winning 2-0, continues to press and try to increase the score.

The throw-in worked this time! Laomie threw the ball into the box, Farkarlun headed it towards the middle, with a deflection off the defense, for the ball to fall into the back of the net, increasing the score in the first half!

In a throw-in towards the middle of the area, to the confusion, the ball kept popping up for Otu to deflect to send the ball into the goal, but on the line the defense cleared it away, saving São Tomé and Príncipe from the second goal!

Tweh found the pass over the top to Otu, who invaded the area from the left and tried to shoot, but sent the ball to the right of the goal, in another dangerous arrival by Liberia, but sending the ball wide!

São Tomé and Príncipe keeps possession and tries to attack, but still without posing any danger at the moment, trying to finish and even winning a corner, but it is taken by the defense to clear it away. The rebound goes to Liberia.

Farkarlun received or passed at the entrance to the area, dominated and hit hard, but sent a ball over the top of the goal, for a goal. Liberia, even winning 1 to 0, continues to put pressure and try to go on the attack in search of a second goal.

And Liberia is already winning 1-0! The game has barely started and, in the middle, Nichola Andrews controlled the ball and hit it hard, high, to open the scoring for Liberia, who have barely started the game and are already winning!

The players take to the pitch and the ball is already rolling for the first stage of the clash between Liberia and São Tomé and Príncipe in the sixth round of the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers!
