Round Six of the 2025/26 LFA First Division League delivered another thrilling weekend of football across Liberia, filled with statement wins, surprise results, and impressive performances from teams battling for early-season momentum. League leaders Watanga FC (1st – 14 points) maintained their position at the summit despite being pushed to the limit by Borough FC (7th – 9 points) in a tightly contested fixture at the D. Tweh Field.
Goals from Darius Garmondeh and Varney B. Varney secured a hard-fought 2–1 victory for Watanga, extending their unbeaten run to six matches. Borough’s lone goal came from Emmanuel Toe, but it wasn’t enough to stop the most inform club from holding on to top spot. At the Momo Tweh Field, Bea Mountain (11th – 6 points) bounced back in style with a convincing 3–0 win over Paynesville FC (3rd – 10 points).
Forward Ralph Weah struck twice, while Frederick Dennis added another as the Gold Boys produced one of their best performances of the campaign, handing Paynesville their second loss of the season. In Gompa, FC Fassell (5th – 10 points) earned a narrow 1–0 victory over Discoveries SA (9th – 7 points), thanks to a decisive strike from Otalie Sie.
