Mozambique claimed a 1–0 victory over Somalia in World Cup Qualification Group G on 14 October, securing three points in a tight contest between the two sides. Both teams operated with compact defensive shapes—Somalia in a 4–3–3 formation and Mozambique in a 4–2–3–1—though neither registered a shot on target throughout the match. The absence of clear-cut chances underscored a cagey affair, with Mozambique's solitary goal proving decisive in a low-intensity encounter. The victory edges Mozambique closer to qualification, while Somalia's inability to create opportunities leaves their campaign under pressure.
