MLS great Kei Kamara scores to send Sierra Leone to first AFCON tournament in 25 years

Kei Kamara has become an MLS legend over the course of his well-traveled career that has seen him suit up for eight different teams in the league. The 36-year-old remains without a club for the time being, but suiting up for the Sierra Leone national team on Tuesday, Kamara scored another big-time goal, bagging the game-winning penalty kick in the first half that sent Sierra Leone to its first Africa Cup of Nations tournament in 25 years.

Playing Benin to secure the final place at the 2022 AFCON in Cameroon, Kamara’s 19th-minute finish from the spot gave Sierra Leone the result they needed to punch their ticket to their first AFCON since 1996.
