Tanzania's Kilimanjaro Stars entertained guest team Libya to a goalless draw in their Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup match played at Kenyatta Stadium Machakos on December 3.
The Libyans will have themselves to blame for flaunting their first chance in the 17th minute after Mohamed Nadir failed the composure test inside the box to shoot wide past Tanzania's custodian Aishi Manula.
Magufuli's boyson the other hand earned their first real chance minutes later after Mzamiru Yassin fired a powerful cross that evaded every defender but lacked someone to convert.
Ten minutes to the first break, Libya managed to shake the net after a short corner but were ruled for offside.
Tanzania would then have to leave the donkey work with Aishi Manula who stood out to save several attacks from the North Africans.
