The Libyan national football team won 1-0 against Angola at the 11 de Novembro Stadium in Luanda on Tuesday to top Group F of the World Cup 2022 African qualifiers.
Libya’s Omar Al-Khoja netted the winner for the Mediterranean Knights at the 43th minute, thus keeping the Libyan team on top of the group in a perfect start of the qualifiers for the North African team.
Libya is now two points ahead of second-placed Egypt, which snatched a last-gasp 1-1 draw away to Gabon on Sunday.
Libya is set to play Egypt in a mouthwatering double-header next month, which could prove decisive in shaping competition for the solitary group ticket to the final qualifying phase for Qatar 2022.
