2022 World Cup Qualifiers: Libya’s Al Masli calls for Clemente sacking after Egypt defeat

Ahmed Al Masli has called for the sacking of Libya coach Javier Clemente following the Mediterranean Knights’ defeat to Egypt.

Libya’s chances of reaching the 2022 Fifa World Cup looked to have crumbled following back-to-back defeats to the Pharaohs in the qualifiers.

Having suffered a 1-0 loss to the Egyptians on October 8 at the Borg El Arab Stadium, Alexandria – courtesy of Omar Marmoush’s 49th-minute effort, the North Africans went into the reverse fixture eyeing revenge.

However, they crumbled 3-0 at home. In the 41st minute, Carlos Queiroz’s team took the lead thanks to Ahmed El Fotouh’s unstoppable shot past goalkeeper Muhammad.
