The Libyan side demonstrated a strong performance, with goals coming from Mohammed Khamis, Mohammed Zreq, and Firas Abu Khshim. New Zealand’s only goal came from player Jordan, scored in the final minute of the match.
Libya is competing in Group D, which includes some formidable teams like Spain and Kazakhstan. The win against New Zealand marks an important start for Libya as they aim to advance in the tournament.
The next match for the Libyan team is scheduled for Wednesday, and they will face Kazakhstan in a crucial fixture on Saturday.
