-In 3-0 loss to AL Hilal in SudanThe preliminary round of the CAF Champions league has again become the stopping point of Liberia’s double champions LISCR FC after a 3-0 loss to Sudan’s Al Hilal in Sudan yesterday. Two first-half goals from Mohamed Bashir and a 65th-minute goal from Sharaf Shiboub became a comfortable result for the Sudanese champions to advance to the next stage of the continental competition. With 53 percent of the ball possession in the first half, the Sudanese returned showing no signs of slowing down. LISCR’s first leg goalscorer Sekou Sheriff tried to get a consolation from another set piece in the early minutes of the second half, but his left-footed shot was sent out for a corner. Despite the 2-0 lead midway through the second half, LISCR still had a chance to score a goal and level the aggregate to qualify on away goal.
