Brazil booking for Egypt and Libya

Saturday 29 March 2008

Hosts Libya confirmed their position as Africa's second representatives at the FIFA Futsal World Cup by beating Mozambique 4-1 in the second semi-final game at the ongoing fourth CAF Futsal Championships in Tripoli.

The hosts were given their stiffest test of the tournament so far by the Mozambicans and were grateful for two goals in the last ten minutes to put the match beyond doubt.

Libya now meet Egypt in the final, who defeated Morocco by the same scoreline at the Africa Union Hall on Friday.

A brace from Abdel Mawla Abdallah and one each from Saleh Hussein and Abdelsamie Abderahim led the defending champions to an easy victory.

"I am very happy we have won, and qualified for the World Cup," said scorer Abderahim. "That was our main aim, and am proud we have achieved that.

"But it wasn't an easy game as the Moroccans also played very well. Our coach changed our tactics in the second half, and that made the difference."
