Libya surmount troubles

Libya have continued their qualifying campaign despite all the troubles facing their country.

Their game against Mozambique was moved to Cairo and played behind closed doors – and the Libyans have kept their campaign on track with a 1-0 win.

Rabiyah Lafi got the only goal of the game and the result means that they will qualify if they beat Zambia in their final pool match next month.

The Libyan team were wearing a new national team strip, sang a new national anthem and played under the flag of the rebel National Transitional Council.
