Libyan Premier League 2nd Round: Al-Sweihli and Al-Nasr Seize Control of Playoff Groups
The second round of the Libyan Premier League's final-six playoff stage delivered dramatic comebacks, late winners, and shifting group dynamics as Al-Sweihli and Al-Nasr emerged at the top of their respective groups. The results, played across multiple cities on May 12, 2026, have set the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the championship race that has captivated football fans across Libya.
With the hexagonal stage reaching its critical phase, every point matters and the margins between glory and elimination have never been finer. The Libya Observer's coverage of the round highlighted standout performances, tactical battles, and the emergence of new contenders in both the western and eastern groups.
Al-Sweihli Dominates Group 1 with Six Points
Al-Sweihli cemented their position at the summit of Group 1 after a commanding 3-1 victory over Al-Olymbi at Al-Jamil Stadium. The win propelled them to six points, giving them a comfortable two-point cushion over Tripoli rivals Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahly Tripoli, who are locked in a fierce battle for second place in the group standings.
Al-Ittihad kept pace in the title race with a hard-fought 2-1 win against neighbors Al-Madina in Misrata, demonstrating resilience in a local derby that tested both sides. Meanwhile, Al-Ahly Tripoli secured a narrow but crucial 1-0 victory over Al-Ittihad Al-Misrata, thanks to a decisive strike from captain Hamdou Elhouni. Both Tripoli powerhouses now sit on four points each, trailing the group leaders by two points heading into the third round.
Al-Nasr Completes Stunning Comeback Against Al-Hilal
In the standout match of the entire round, Al-Nasr produced a remarkable comeback to defeat Al-Hilal 3-2 in stoppage time. Trailing by two goals for much of the contest, Al-Nasr fought back with relentless determination before Tunisian midfielder Saed Bakir converted a dramatic penalty in the dying moments to seal all three points and send his side to four points at the top of Group 2.
The dramatic result was compounded by Al-Ahly Benghazi's 2-1 defeat at the hands of Al-Akhdar in Al-Marj, where a late goal from the Sudanese winger proved decisive. The outcome leaves Al-Nasr and Al-Akhdar level at the top of Group 2, adding further intrigue to an already unpredictable group race that could go down to the final matchday.
Meanwhile, striker Hamza Al-Derai led Al-Ittihad Al-Askari to their first win of the playoff stage, edging past Al-Afriqi 1-0 in a tightly contested encounter that could prove vital in the battle to avoid the bottom of the group.
