Lesotho then competed in Tier D of the competition, where after a narrow 1-0 loss to Sierra Leone, they secured victories over Tahiti on penalties following a 3-3 draw, as well as a 2-1 win over Bahrain.

On Thursday, they went down 3-2 to North Macedonia in the Tier 4 Bottom 16 semi-final.

The curtain will come down on their campaign at 12:30 today as they face Syria, before making their way back to the Kingdom on Sunday.
