Guinea endured a frustrating evening as they were held to a 0-0 draw by a determined Somalia side in a thrilling end-to-end encounter. Despite dominating possession and piling relentless pressure on the visitors, Guinea failed to break through Somalia’s stubborn defense.

From the first whistle, Guinea showed intent, pushing forward in search of an early goal. However, Somalia remained resolute, with their goalkeeper making crucial saves to keep the hosts at bay. The second half followed a similar pattern, with Guinea creating several chances but failing to convert, much to the disappointment of the home fans.

Somalia, on the other hand, had a few dangerous moments on the counterattack but couldn’t capitalize on their opportunities. In the end, both sides had to settle for a share of the spoils.

The result leaves Guinea ruing missed chances as they sit third in the group with 7 points, now trailing joint leaders Algeria and Mozambique by five points. Meanwhile, Somalia will take confidence from their defensive display as they continue their search for a first win in the qualifiers.
