In a decisive display, Sierra Leone defeated Guinea-Bissau 3-1 during their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Complex in Paynesville, Liberia. The Leone Stars showcased superior preparation and determination, effectively exploiting their opponents’ errors throughout the match, which contributed to their significant victory.
Sierra Leone’s captain, Mustapha Bundu, opened the scoring in the 19th minute, capitalizing on a poorly executed back pass by Guinea-Bissau. The match highlighted the Leone Stars’ tactical advantage, as they fielded a team with a majority of domestically-based players who prepared adequately, contrasting with Guinea-Bissau’s all-foreign squad that had limited training time.
The Leone Stars expanded their lead shortly after the hour mark when Kei Kamara forced another mistake from goalkeeper Manuel Baldé, allowing Musa Noah Kamara to score effortlessly. Despite a lapse in concentration that permitted Guinea-Bissau’s debutant Tamble Monteiro to score in the 69th minute, Sierra Leone rallied and maintained control, ultimately sealing the victory with a goal from Ibrahim Turay in stoppage time.
Sierra Leone’s triumph over Guinea-Bissau clearly illustrates their effective preparation and ability to capitalize on opponents’ mistakes. The result not only enhances Sierra Leone’s standing in Group A but also instills renewed hope as they gear up for an upcoming match against leaders Egypt. With this victory, the Leone Stars solidify their aspirations for World Cup qualification, creating a competitive atmosphere within the group.
