The Libyan Football Federation has initiated an urgent investigation into the alarming goalkeeping errors that marred their World Cup qualifier against Cape Verde, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The match, which ended in a dramatic 3-3 draw, saw goalkeeper Murad Al Wuheeshi make a series of blunders that have left fans and officials in disbelief.

Libya, who were aiming to secure a crucial victory to boost their chances of making it to the World Cup playoffs, were left reeling after the unexpected mistakes from their trusted shot-stopper.

Al Wuheeshi, who plays for Al Ahli Benghazi, conceded a baffling goal that many have called inexplicable, sparking outrage among the Libyan football fan base.

The unexpected errors not only cost Libya valuable points but also seemed to shift the momentum of the match, which had initially appeared to be in their favour.

Despite the setbacks, the match ended in a tense 3-3 draw, but the frustration over the goalkeeper’s performance has overshadowed the result.

Across Tripoli and other parts of Libya, fans are expressing their anger and disappointment. Social media has been flooded with criticism, and calls for an explanation have been loud and clear.

Many are questioning whether the goalkeeper's blunders were simply mistakes or if there was something more sinister at play.

In response to the growing outrage, the Libyan Football Federation has promised to conduct a thorough review of the incident, stating that they are committed to ensuring the integrity of the team as they continue their World Cup campaign.

Al Wuheeshi, who has previously been praised for his performances, has yet to comment on the situation.

 The federation's investigation will likely have far-reaching implications for both the goalkeeper and the national team as they look to salvage their World Cup hopes in the remaining qualifiers.

As the inquiry unfolds, all eyes will be on the Libyan Football Federation to see if any answers emerge regarding the suspicious errors that left their World Cup dreams hanging by a thread.
