AFCON 2027 Qualifiers: Comoros held to goalless draw by Congo in Group G

Comoros were forced to settle for a point after playing out a goalless draw against the Republic of Congo in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying Group G encounter on Friday.

The Coelacanths hosted the Red Devils at the Stade Omnisports de Malouzini in Moroni, hoping to build on their earlier victory over Namibia and strengthen their qualification prospects.

Comoros enjoyed spells of possession and looked to impose themselves on the contest, but struggled to find a way past Congo’s organised defensive unit.

The visitors, meanwhile, remained disciplined at the back and sought opportunities to threaten on the counter-attack as both teams battled for control.

Despite efforts from either side to break the deadlock, neither team managed to produce the decisive finish during the encounter.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Comoros pushing forward while Congo remained difficult to break down.

The final whistle confirmed a 0-0 stalemate, leaving both nations to share the points.

The result takes Comoros to four points from three matches, keeping them second in Group G, while Congo move to two points and remain bottom of the standings.

Both teams will meet again in the return fixture in Brazzaville on November 17.
