Jordan
were deserving winners as they enjoyed a better possession of the ball and
clearly dominated the game. Leone Stars were unimpressive.
The Jordanians side got their open goal
in the 8th minute through Shadi Nadmi who capitalised on an error by converted
left back Alhassan Bangura.
But striker, Alhaji Kamara had an opportunity to level things in the 21st
minute in a one on one situation but failed to beat the Jordanian goalkeeper,
Amer Shafee.
Four minutes later, goalkeeper, Habib was forced make to double important saves
but failed in his third attempt to save Hamza Dardour's header from a
counter-attack to make it 2-0 two minutes to the break.
Leone Stars started the second period with the introduction of Idrissa Sesay,
Issa Zuma Kamara and Morie Alie in place of Mohamed Bangura, Junior Lahai Coker
and Alhassan Bangura respectively.
The introduction of the trio by Coach
John Keister nearly paid off as striker Kamara again came close to scoring but
saw his chance rolled out just inches from the post.
An own goal from defender Yayah Janneh took the game to 3-0 before defender
Basem Fathi broke an off-side trap to wrap up a 4-0 home win.
It was the second defeat for Leone Stars within three days after they lost to Iraq in Istanbul
in another friendly international match.
Leone Stars used the two matches to gear up for their three 2014 World Cup and
2013 Africa Cup of Nations matches in June against Cape Verde, Equatorial
Guinea and Sao Tome & Principe respectively.
