Bafana have met Lone Stars twice, winning one drawing another
Since Bafana Bafana's Afcon qualifiers rivals Liberia are relatively unknown, Sihle Ndebele brings to light a few facts about the Lone Stars.
Key players: Mohammed Sangare, Peter Wilson and Terrence Tisdell
Versatile centre-back Sangare of English third-tier side Accrington Stanley is one of Liberia's key players. The 24-year-old is a Newcastle United development product.
Striker Wilson, who plies his trade for Norwegian second-tier side FK Jerv is another player to look out for. Wilson, 29, is an experienced goal-poacher, who's played for the likes of Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca and Moldavian giants Sheriff Tiraspol. Wilson scored a brace in Liberia's last win, a 3-1 over Central Africa Republic (CAR) in the second round of World Cup qualifiers in November 2021.
Tisdell is another dangerman. Some may be familiar with the 25-year-old left-winger as he was on Baroka's roster between 2019 and 2020. Tisdell is now playing for Azerbaijani side Sumgayit FK.
