Afcon 2021 Qualifiers: Tanzania fall away against Libya

The East African side threw away a one-goal lead to lose against the hosts in the qualifiers

Tanzania have been defeated 2-1 away against Libya in a 2021 Afcon qualifying match played on Tuesday.

The Taifa Stars came into the game in search of a win to maintain their 100% winning start, having defeated visiting Equatorial Guinea 2-1 on Friday.

It all seemed rosy for the East African side when Mbwana Samatta converted from the penalty spot after 18 minutes. The hosts had committed a foul in the danger zone, and the Genk attacker held his nerve to send the goalkeeper the wrong way.
