Mighty Barrolle has shocked the Liberia Football Association’s (LFA) premier league leader, LPRC Oilers, for the title chase.

The Rollers have cut down the oil boys’ 15 point lead to just three points and a game in hand against Margibi County based LFA premier club, Mighty Blue Angel.

The Kanyan pepper boys moved second on the premiership table with an incredible 1-0 edging of Watanga FC in Buchanan City, Grand Bassa County .

Master dribbler and skill workshop, Archie Harvey, alias Shaun Wright Philips, rattled the net in the 12 minutes of the match to see his side achieve the feat.

The goal came from a superb connection from midfield lad, Wilfred Greenfield, who found midfield colleague Little Lewis to find the dangerous kid on the block. Harvey as the master card performer placed the ball in the left corner of the rushing Watanga FC goaltender, Tito Wesseh.

Both sides mounted serious pressure for supremacy, but it was Mighty Barrolle that looked good in an attempt to mount immense force on Oilers for the title chase.

Watanga Leon Power, alias Debbah, and teammates disturbed Barrolle’s defense for the equalizer, but Arthur Jerry, Samuel Tisdell, and Sam Peters, were considered the men of the match and experienced Hallie Lahai stood the test of time to protect the red and white outfit.

Barrolle’s temporary Captain, Nuzohn Kulala could have added the second for his side, but a sluggish display caused the Watanga goalie to pick up a loose ball after the captain dribbled the entire defense, but failed to place the ball at the back of the net.

Top scorer Weaka Wisseh came close to increasing the score line, but thanks to goalie Tito who saved the day as the fist half ended in the Rollers’ favor.

The second half saw both sides playing a very careful game, with Barrolle collecting the maximum three points, while Watanga played a counter attack probably to avoid conceding more goals as the match ended 1-0 in the Rollers’ favor.

Mighty Barrolle now has five matches remaining against traditional rivals Invincible Eleven (IE), FC AK and Jubilee FC all in Buchanan City , Grand Bassa County, Mighty Blue Angel in Kakata and USA FC at the ATS.

The Oilers last match include Watanga FC, M.C Breweries, Black Star and Gedi and Sons.
