Cape Verde bounced from a goal down to defeat Liberia and claimed their first win in the FIFA World Cup qualifier.

The Islanders lost to Super Eagles in their second Group C game and had played stalemate with Central African Republic in the opening game.

The game was played at the Accra Sports Stadium, Ghana after Liberia failed to get approval of any of their Stadium from FIFA.

A tough game between both teams looking for a win saw hosts, Liberia take the lead at the stroke of halftime through Van-Dave Harmon.

The Lone Stars were so relaxed in the second half which gave room for Cape Verde to mount pressure.
