Libya hold a 1-0 lead over Tunisia at half-time in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match in Sfax.
The game is part of the third round of qualifying, with both sides needing a victory to revive their campaigns. Tunisia have struggled to turn possession into a threat in front of their home supporters, with their attempts failing to test the target.
Libya have instead relied on a counter-attacking approach, allowing the Carthage Eagles to control the ball before looking to break forward quickly.
That strategy paid off shortly before the interval. One of Libya’s attacks put the Tunisian defence under pressure and led to a foul inside the area.
The Knights of the Nile were awarded a penalty in the 44th minute and converted it to take the lead. Tunisia must now find a response after the break to avoid falling further behind in the qualifying campaign.
