With a goal at the end of the match, Angola sought a draw with Libya in this fifth round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifying groups, where Ellaifi opened the scoring for Libya and Fredy equalized for Angola!

On the left Angola had a free kick, taken by 6, and at the near post, Fredy managed to head the ball in a challenge with the goalkeeper, sending the ball into the back of the net, tying the match already going into injury time! And right after the goal, Hasan came off and Eto'o came on for Libya.

Angola manages to maintain possession and tries to attack, managing to exchange passes and press in the attacking field, suffocating Libya, who can no longer play. Angola has control of the match at the end of the game!

Two more changes for Angola, who launched themselves into the attack trying to score an equalizer: To Carneiro and Maeste were replaced by Gilberto and Pedro Bondo. And soon after, Fadel Salama was shown a yellow card for a heavy tackle in the middle of the field.

Mohammed Soula received the pass on the right, adjusted and crossed after taking the defender out of the play, finding Muaid El Lafi in the area, who rose and headed powerfully, into the right corner, with no chance of defense, to open the scoring of the match for Libya, in addition to receiving a yellow card for taking off his shirt!

Angola made the first change of the match with Manuel Benson coming off and Beni Mukendi coming on. And soon after, Faisal Saleh Al Badri received a yellow card for a strong foul in midfield. It's the first yellow in the game.

Salama received the pass over the top and, from the right, kicked hard, sending the ball into Neblu's hands. Libya began to stay in the attacking field more and more, trying to open the scoring in the match, still without success!

The second half follows the same rhythm as the first, with little happening on the field. Libya, with the changes, begins to attack and tries to create more danger, but still without shooting or invading the opponent's area at the moment.

And confirming that, at half-time, Libya made two substitutions, where Fahd Al Mesmary and Abdullah Dagou left for Muayid Ellafi and Faisal Al-Badri. Libya tries to go forward with the substitutions in this second half.

The players return to the pitch and we already have the start of the second half of the match between Libya and Angola, in the fifth round of the group stage of the World Cup Qualifiers, with all the moves and emotions here on VAVEL!

With no goals in a game with few chances created, Libya and Angola go into half-time with the World Cup Qualifying match tied at 0-0, with each team adding one point in the competition, in the dream of a place in the 2026 World Cup!

We have a clear drop in the pace of the match, where Angola maintains possession and exchanges passes to attack, while Libya manages to stop the match, without letting Angola create any danger in the attacking field. We have a slow game!

Yellow for Omar Al Khouja, for a strong foul on Milson in midfield, stopping Angola's counterattack. This is the first yellow of the game, which has been for few fouls so far, which helps the fast pace of the game.

Angola has possession of the match and manages to keep attacking, but still without finishing more times than the last two, but trying to constantly threaten the Libyan defense, which can no longer manage the pressure it had at the beginning of the game.

In another passing move, Angola came close to scoring! Zini received the pass up front and shot hard, with Wuhayshi palming it away, with Dala hitting the rebound, but into the goalkeeper's hands!

Benson received the pass up front and hit it hard, high into the left corner, but once again Wuhayshi palmed it away, with the defense completing it far away, saving Libya from conceding a goal, at a time when Angola was starting to arrive with more danger!

Mabrouk, in a great play through the middle, received the pass and hit it hard, but sent the ball to the right of the goal, out, with a deflection, for the corner kick crossed into the area for Neblu to punch away, avoiding the goal!

Zini manages to get Angola's first dangerous chance, but sends the ball into the middle of the goal when he finishes, into the hands of Wuhayshi. Angola starts to loosen up in the match, presses and tries to create danger in the attacking field!

At the edge of the area, Ekrawa had the first dangerous chance of the game, with a free kick that hit the wall, with the ball going out for a corner, which was cleared into the area by the defense. The rebound continued with pressure from Libya, who arrived again with Ekrawa, shooting into the right corner for Neblu to get the ball!
