Al-Swehly SC and Espérance Sportive de Tunis are tied (0-0) at halftime this Sunday, October 18, at the Misrata Stadium in Libya, during the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League 2026-2027. In their first match of the competition, the Tunisians have yet to break through the defense of a Libyan team determined to maximize its chances on home soil.
During this first half, Espérance is striving to take control of the match and get closer to the opposing goal, but they still need to turn their intentions into concrete actions. For their part, Al-Swehly is trying to capitalize on the home advantage to put the Blood and Gold in difficulty and maintain their chances before the second half.
With this scoreline, everything remains to be played after the break. Espérance will need to find more offensive options if they hope to leave Libya with a positive result ahead of the return leg, scheduled for October 24 at the Radès Stadium.
