00:00for the first time in a decade.
00:07Imagine Africa. Best part of a
00:10decade. Try and lead Libya to
00:13another win. Here in Abidjan.
00:18And it's. Been in here on the
00:22front foot early on here.
00:23Safely cleared away from
00:26the back foot. Played down the
00:36middle to. Docker that we on
00:42the ball again. Plays it to
00:46alcohol. I'm running into the
00:47box. He goes down. It's a
00:49great chance. Seven minutes
00:55gone. And it's the Mediterranean
00:59Knights. Great work. By the
01:08attacking midfielder. Got past
01:11the back foot.
01:37Stepping up. Takes and
01:39he's gone. He's dodging the
01:44wrong way and gives Libya.
01:47Precious early lead here in
01:49Abidjan. The captain keeping
01:52his cool. In front of gold
01:53scoring his 14th goal for his
01:55country. Now been in very much
02:03need of a break. It's a little
02:17again from a lifetime. Can they
02:20win? It's a acrobatic save there
02:23from more on our way. She very
02:26nearly. No goal. It seems
02:30to be a very good chance. Play
02:35that white to their door. Rush
02:41rather who finds a lifetime.
02:45Lights on to Doc. Who are you
02:49finding? It's a fantastic save.
02:56It's a chance to hold on to
03:00their needs. All the way through
03:02his potential chance. Still on
03:05the ball. It's another save from
03:08Abidjan. Three men around to
03:22manage to keep the ball.
03:26Comfortable for. Six men in
03:38place in the middle waiting for
03:40the cross. There's another
03:42opportunity and it's another
03:43fantastic safe from a right
03:45away. Is she? It was only the
03:58Verdon. He rose up and got to it
04:02first. Rush challenge there from
04:21Abidjan. Well over even from
04:38from. The tricky attacking
04:42midfielder. No, I'll be no
04:44alcoholic. And for the time
04:47being, it's the Mediterranean
04:49night to 45 minutes away from
04:51their first win of this 2025
04:54Africa Cup of Nations qualifying
04:56campaign. Fed in with the lion's
04:59share of possession, but unable
05:01to break down. For getting us
05:07back into the game. It'd be a
05:13managing to Hold on to their
05:16lead after taking the early
05:19advantage with that penalty
05:21slotted away by the captain.
05:29Brilliantly by the attacking
05:31midfielder. No, I'll be no
05:32alcoholic. He comes. This time
06:01by Sam Jr. Light and. Dispatched
06:07by Steven here. Finally been in
06:11our level after countless
06:13chances in the first off. It's

06:23here.
