For Group H, the Tunisian national team has not found the path to victory again. Held at home by Uganda (1-1) and Botswana (2-2) in their first two outings in the qualifiers for the CAN 2027, the Eagles of Carthage were dominated by Libya (2-0), thus continuing their poor start to the campaign.
This setback against the Libyan neighbor now allows them to slip to the bottom of the standings with only 2 points after three matchdays in Group H. The Ocean Stars, for their part, are now second with 4 points, tied with Botswana.
Unlike the Eagles of Carthage, this derby represented a good opportunity for the Mediterranean Knights to relaunch their campaign ahead of the return leg, scheduled four days later in Tripoli.
Provisional standings: 1. Uganda – 4 pts (2 matches); 2. Libya – 4 pts (3 matches); 3. Botswana – 2 pts (2 matches); 4. Tunisia – 2 pts (3 matches).
