Libya takes on Egypt at the Al-Shuhada Stadium in Benghazi, on Monday, in the CAF 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying second round.
Carlos Queiroz’s first match as Egypt’s coach went as planned, with Omar Marmoush scoring the only goal of the match to secure a 1-0 victory for the Pharaohs at home.
Egypt dominated the game with more ball possession and seven shots on goal, while Libya could only handle one shot on goal from Mohamed El Shenawy.
That was a major victory for Egypt, but by no means can Libya be ruled out to regain the top of the group at the end of this qualifying campaign, as the rematch against Egypt may see Clemente’s team regain the top spot.
Egypt felt they needed a coaching change after the team drew against Gabon, but the team has not lost a game since 2019, and if they extend that streak for just three more games, they will head to the Qatar World Cup 2022, looking for a rematch since in Russia 2018 they lost all three games of the first phase.
Libya
Libya’s qualifying campaign got off to a perfect start, as they won their first two games in September, taking advantage of Egypt’s loss of points to Gabon to lead the pack heading into their first clash with the Pharaohs.
Javier Clemente tried from the bench to help his team turn the game around after it fell behind in the 49th minute, and made four substitutions in the space of 10 minutes after that goal was scored, but his team failed. find the tie nowhere.
Libya must show more confidence ahead of Monday’s clash, as they will play at home, unlike the first meeting on Friday when they tried to beat Egypt at the Borg El Arab Stadium, where no other team has managed to win in a qualifying match for the World Cup since 2004.
