The Somali national team drew 0-0 with Mauritius in their first round (qualifier) match of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament, which was played on Friday evening.
The match was neutral in terms of the quality of the game, with neither side able to create any serious chances. The defenses of both teams worked well, which resulted in the game ending goalless.
Most of the time, the ball was mostly in the middle of the field, with the attackers of both sides struggling to break down the strong defenses placed in front of them.
The two teams will meet again in the second leg, where the team that will advance to the next round of the AFCON qualifiers will be determined.
That match is expected to be very difficult, as both sides will be looking to achieve a crucial victory.
Somali fans are still hopeful that their team will qualify from this round, if they show more effort in the next match.
