After returning to the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 25 years, the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone have ended their journey in this ongoing tournament today, January 20, 2022, as they were defeated by Equatorial Guinea in their last group match. The city of Freetown is totally in silence, after Kei Kamara who scored the goal against Benin that qualified the team missed a penalty towards the end of the match, the only goal chance Sierra Leone had. But as of now they only have two points, whilst Ivory Coast has 7 points, Equatorial Guinea with 6 points and Algeria with one point as they were unable to defend their title. However, the people of Sierra Leone have accepted defeat and they are embarrassing their team which they say put up an exceptional performance in the tournament, after the long absence. We will keep developing football in Sierra Leone and we will only get ever better.
