The Mediterranean Knights, Libya national football team, beat Equatorial Guinea 3-0 in the opening matches of Group 3 at CHAN on Monday.

Saleh Taher scored the opening goal when he nudged the ball between the legs of a hesitant Cambio in the Equatorial Guinea goal.

Mohamed Aleyat, who set up all three goals, combined with Taher again five minutes later to make it 2-0.

The game was put beyond Equatorial Guinea in the 87th minute when Zakaria Alharash swept onto a ball in the six yard area and struck into the empty net.

Libya will play Nigeria next and Equatorial Guinea will play Rwanda, with both matches scheduled for Friday.
