Lesotho and Benin played out a 0-0 draw in their FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF) group match on November 21, 2023. The encounter at the Setsoto Stadium in Maseru was a cagey affair, with both teams prioritizing defensive solidity over attacking adventure. Chances were at a premium, and neither side could find a breakthrough despite some late pressure. The point was a respectable result for Lesotho against a Benin side that has shown improvement in recent years, while Benin will have been slightly frustrated not to secure an away win. The draw meant both teams started their qualification campaigns with a single point in a tightly contested group.
