FC Nouadhibou 0–0 Vipers SC: Draw — CAF Champions League Full-Time Result

FC Nouadhibou and Vipers SC played out a cagey and cautious stalemate on Sunday, September 13, 2026, as the first leg of their crucial CAF Champions League encounter ended in a scoreless draw. Played under intense tactical pressure, neither side was willing to risk defensive stability in pursuit of a breakthrough, leaving the tie delicately balanced and all to play for heading into the return fixture.

Throughout the ninety minutes at Stade Cheikha Ould Boïdiya, the hosts struggled to unlock a resolute Vipers backline that stood firm against waves of Mauritanian pressure. Despite dominating periods of possession and creating half-chances through quick transitions, the Nouadhibou frontline lacked the clinical edge required to trouble the visiting goalkeeper, who enjoyed a relatively untroubled afternoon thanks to some superb organizing from his central defenders.

Conversely, the Ugandan visitors executed their away-game game plan to near perfection, absorbing heavy pressure and frustrating the hosts with disciplined defensive blocks and timely interceptions. While Vipers rarely threatened on the counterattack, securing a hard-fought clean sheet away from home represents a massive psychological boost as they prepare to host the decisive second leg in front of their passionate home supporters.
