It was the Libyans who took the lead before Samuel Onyango equalized with a spectacular volley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The match was billed as a way to show CAF and FIFA that the Nation of Libya is safe enough to host international matches. Libya has been in the throes of a civil war for years. The City of Benghazi in particular has bore the brunt of the war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gormahia.net\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gor Mahia received a warm reception both on an off the field as the Libyan fans were happy to see a foreign team on their soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gormahia.net\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><br>\n<!--StartFragment--><\/p>\n\n\n<p>The match was evenly balanced. But the Libyan side had the upper hand. Like a typical North African side, their passes were sleeker and they created more clear-cut chances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their best chance came on the stroke of halftime when keeper Boniface Oluoch handled a backpass. Al Ahli were awarded a freekick in the penaly box. The resulting freekick caused a goalmouth melee in which Al Ahli had numerous chances to score.  <\/p>\n\n\n<p><!--EndFragment--><br>\n<br>\n<\/p><div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-tie-al-ahli-1-1\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The friendly match between Gor Mahia and Libyan side Al Ahli Tripoli, ended in a 1-1 draw on Saturday.
