Togo and Libya lock horns at the Stade Pere Jego in Morocco on Tuesday (March 26) for a friendly as both sides look to wrap up the international break with two wins in two.
On Friday, both sides were in action and came away with wins. Togo overcame Niger 2-1 in Mohammedia, Morocco. Just a few metres to the south in Casablanca, Libya beat Burkina Faso by an identical scoreline. Faisal Al Badri put the Mediterranean Knights 1-0 up after 35 minutes before Ousseni Bouda equalised for the Stallions two minutes later.
Right after the hour mark, though, Omar Al Khouja restored Libya's lead with their second goal. The north African side held Burkina Faso out for the remainder of the game to emerge victorious.
It was their fourth straight victory of 2024 for Libya, who have started the year on a bright note. Having started last year with three consecutive defeats, they have gone their next 11 games without defeat, producing their best form in years.
