00:00 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:10 [APPLAUSE]
00:36 Against Balou's dad, was called upon from time to time.
00:40 Wasn't called upon there, will he be now?
00:42 Ball into the box, headed away by Modeste, back doing his defensive duties.
00:47 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:53 Lovely spin, a chance, and it's tipped over by Shabir.
00:58 Bernardinho, looks to counter here, use that pace again.
01:03 Kept in by Lamote, takes on the opposite number 30 and breezes past Hadi.
01:09 Cuts inside and finds a side netting.
01:11 Well, they're knocking on the door, Mediama.
01:14 It will be Hamidou Fatahou to take.
01:17 And he does shoot, and it's tipped over again by Mustafa Shabir.
01:20 Another shot on target.
01:24 He's trying to protect his keeper.
01:26 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:30 Part of the chess game of the corner, and it is Shabir,
01:34 who even an Al-Akhli win wouldn't quite be enough.
01:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:41 Today to secure the qualification, and a win might be far from their thoughts right
01:45 now because they're on the back foot again.
01:47 Kept alive by Emmanuel Manti.
01:49 Put back in into a good area as well, and
01:52 it found the head of Mamadou Kamaradin.
01:55 Daniel Lamote.
02:01 Back defending and careless there from Abdelmanem.
02:04 And he's bailed out by his fellow center back, Ibrahim.
02:08 Will make his life very difficult for the remainder of the game.
02:13 Whipped in and just wide of the far post.
02:16 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:20 As Salih takes and it's in towards Modest.
02:22 It's a miss kick, but it's gonna drop for Tao.
02:24 El Shahad, Tao with the back heel, looking for El Shahad again.
02:30 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:33 That would mean nil-nil, but is it gonna be level?
02:35 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:37 Penedinho.
02:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:39 They've been careless at points, particularly at the back.
02:42 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:45 But write them off at your peril.
02:47 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:50 They are 11 time champions for a reason.
02:53 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:57 Lovely ball into the box.
02:58 Modest cuts inside, tees it up,
03:00 Brescia hurts and it's squeezed inside.
03:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
03:05 The far post, Felix K got a hand to it.
03:08 [BLANK_AUDIO]
03:12 But after all their hard work,
03:15 Mediama found themselves in trouble.
03:18 [BLANK_AUDIO]
03:20 And I said, Al-Akhli tend to be clinical.
03:25 Their first big chance and they took it.
03:28 [BLANK_AUDIO]
03:33 Hussein El Shahad scored on match day one, he scores on match day five.
03:39 [BLANK_AUDIO]
03:48 Lovely ball over the top to Modest, got inside and was unselfish.
03:53 K, unfortunate, got a hand to it, but not a strong enough hand.
04:00 And the ball agonizingly curled its way, spun its way just inside the post.
04:06 [BLANK_AUDIO]
04:10 One ball, an intentional dummy, I'm not sure, I think a slip maybe,
04:16 but here it's with Forgeor.
04:19 Two step overs and a decent shot straight at Mustafa Shabir there.
04:23 [BLANK_AUDIO]
04:24 Turn and the pace from Lamonti.
04:26 [BLANK_AUDIO]
04:28 Forgeor cuts inside, that's another shot, this one.
04:31 Not too close to Mustafa Shabir, not close enough.
04:35 Finals, now how are his changes looking?
04:39 First involvement for one of the substitutes,
04:42 the OEZ Taylor does well, lays it up and the shot is over the bar.
04:47 [BLANK_AUDIO]
04:52 Nice ball in, Taylor takes it down, that's a shot away, but again it's straight
04:56 at Mustafa Shabir, which leg's important.
04:59 [BLANK_AUDIO]
05:02 In that thankless target man role, which in the final
05:08 quarter of the game will most likely be extra options.
05:13 He's set off to his captain, turn away is good from Babil.
05:17 The ball in is good as well, it's saved twice.
05:20 [BLANK_AUDIO]
05:24 Sent forward by Kobina Amua.
05:26 [BLANK_AUDIO]
05:28 Taken down nicely by Babil, but that's maybe not the right decision.
05:31 [BLANK_AUDIO]
05:33 Very, very special, that would have had to have been.
05:35 [BLANK_AUDIO]
05:37 Felix K will be disappointed, particularly having got a hand to it.
05:41 I see Rami Rabia going down there, having only just come on, and
05:45 it was a header at the back.
05:47 Got in each other's way though, Bernardinho.
05:49 [BLANK_AUDIO]
05:51 And Kamaradin, lovely ball in.
05:55 [BLANK_AUDIO]
05:57 It was the former Bernardinho who made contact.
06:00 [BLANK_AUDIO]
06:04 And either three points behind the other two, or two points behind one, and
06:09 with the other out of sight, but they would be in with a shout.
06:13 It would be in their own hands.
06:15 Are they still in this game though?
06:16 Good save from Felix K.
06:17 [BLANK_AUDIO]
06:20 Nicely worked.
06:22 It's a full ad, cuts back this way and that.
06:25 Tries to pick out the Palestinian in the middle.
06:28 [BLANK_AUDIO]
06:29 Abu Ali with a less convincing contact this time though.
06:32 [BLANK_AUDIO]
06:36 That's also not particularly convincing contact, but
06:39 there is a- [BLANK_AUDIO]
06:42 A live could be made much easier here if they can grab a second.
06:46 Bursting into the box, it was a last ditch tackle, one that had to be right.
06:50 Fortunately for Mediarmar was, Rader slim.
06:54 [BLANK_AUDIO]
06:56 Like he might be about to put the game permanently to bed.
07:01 [BLANK_AUDIO]
07:11 And they will, of course, take their time over this corner.
07:20 Claiming that the distance wasn't being fulfilled.
07:24 Was in.
07:24 Towards, once again, their new striker.
07:29 Give credit to him for his stamina.
07:31 [BLANK_AUDIO]
07:39 Good draw again.
07:40 This is nicely worked.
07:41 Could this be the moment?
07:42 [BLANK_AUDIO]
07:43 It was.
07:43 Prince.
07:45 Has headed back into the path of Bernardinho.
07:51 But it's not a whistle for the free kick.
07:53 It's a whistle for the final time.
07:55 [BLANK_AUDIO]
07:57 Alakli survive.
07:59 Mediarmar, cling on to their place in this competition.
08:03 By threads now, they'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.
08:08 They'll have to hope for a draw and then a miracle on the final day.
08:11 Alakli, meanwhile, would need some kind of nightmare for them to fail to progress.
08:18 [MUSIC]
