The Libyan national football team lost its second 2018 World Cup qualifier to Tunisia 0-1 on Friday in Algeria’s capital.
The Mediterranean knights put out decent performance and scored a goal in the first half but was cancelled by the Kenyan referee on dubious account of an offside to end the first half 0-0.
In the second half, Libya performance slid and made a handful of mistakes including the defender Ali Salama’s mistake in the penalty area, which caused him a red card and his team a goal scored by the Tunisian Wahby Al-Kharzy, ending the match 1-0 for Tunisia.
With the second loss, Libya’s chances to get through to the 2018 Russia World Cup have shrunk sharply as it has been now placed at the bottom of Group A with zero points, while Tunisia has topped the group with 6 points before Guinea vs DR Congo on Sunday.
