The Libyan Union achieved a valuable victory with a score of 3-2 against Al-Suwihli in a thrilling match held at the "Arena Civica" stadium in Milan, Italy, as part of the second round of the championship playoff for the Libyan league season 2024-2025.

Despite the importance of the match, Egyptian international Mahmoud Abdel-Moneim "Kahraba" was absent from the starting lineup of the Union and remained on the bench throughout the match, in a surprising move after participating in the opening round against Al-Akhder.

This raised questions about his technical position and how much the coaching staff relies on him in the upcoming phase.

The Union entered the match with a slogan of compensation after losing to Al-Akhder with a score of 2-1, and managed to return to competition thanks to goals from Moaz Issa, Nofal Zarhoni, and Mahmoud Shaloui.

Despite Al-Suwihli's attempts in the second half, the Union succeeded in maintaining their lead and seizing 3 important points that keep their chances alive in the championship race.

The Union raised its score to 3 points and is now preparing for a strong confrontation against Al-Ahli Tripoli in the third round, followed by matches against Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli Benghazi, in a stage that is being held entirely on Italian soil for the first time in the history of the championship.

Mahmoud Kahraba played 15 matches, totaling 1000 minutes, during which he scored 6 goals and provided 4 assists.

Despite these good numbers, his sudden exclusion from the match against Al-Suwihli raises questions about his physical and technical condition and the continuation of his participation in upcoming matches.
