Gabon and Lesotho went into the half-time break locked at 0-0 following a competitive opening 45 minutes in their crucial encounter on Friday, November 13, 2026.

Despite enjoying greater possession, Gabon have struggled to translate their dominance into clear-cut scoring opportunities. The Panthers controlled 67% of the ball and registered five corner kicks, but managed just five shots, with only one finding the target.

Lesotho, meanwhile, have looked more threatening going forward, recording 10 attempts, including four on target. Their attacking efforts have forced the Gabonese goalkeeper into four saves, keeping the Panthers in the contest.

The match has also been physical, with Lesotho’s T. Makhele and P. Molaoa receiving yellow cards in the 36th and 40th minutes respectively.

With the scoreline still goalless at the interval, both sides have plenty to play for in the second half. Gabon will need greater attacking precision, while Lesotho will be encouraged by their ability to create opportunities and will hope to turn that threat into goals after the restart.

Half-time: Gabon 0-0 Lesotho.
