00:00Referee today Mahmoud Ismail from Sudan. So there's Group A game underway.
00:10First touch for Sonny Leighton.
00:16It goes long.
00:20It's going to be a long one.
00:32Some wrestling in there. The keeper comes.
00:36And it goes through for a goal kick.
00:38Seems that no one made any contact.
00:44Nice little touch around the corner.
00:46A lot of space over on the far side for Ponte.
00:49But they couldn't quite find him.
00:52This goes out though for a Madagascar throw.
00:55No win in 15 African Cup of Nations qualifiers for them.
01:00Tremule is up there. Doesn't beat the first man.
01:23Brought down calmly. And the shot fired wide.
01:28It's going to be a long one.
01:31It's going to be a long one.
01:38Free kick for Comoros.
01:52Marco standing over this one.
01:56Good delivery as well.
01:58Comes all the way through to Ryan Ponte.
02:01Ponte back across. Keeper parries it away.
02:07Well, it was a tough one.
02:18Late tackle from Adria.
02:21And that's the first yellow card of the game.
02:27Well delivered.
02:34It's deep.
02:37Played back across.
02:38Adria deflected wide.
02:44Deflected off a Madagascar player by the looks of it.
02:51Very nicely set.
02:54That's the first yellow card of the game.
02:56That's the first yellow card of the game.
02:58I think it's come off Sandro Tremule.
03:00I think it's come off Sandro Tremule.
03:03And that almost took it into the goal.
03:23Marco's delivery.
03:28He's gone for goal.
03:32Not too far away.
03:35Maya Lida gets away from two Madagascar players.
03:38Plays it square.
03:40Bakari palmed away by the goalkeeper.
03:44And crucially for Sunny Leighton,
03:47palmed it just away from Maya Lida who was arriving.
03:51Side Bakari.
03:54At a fairly tight angle.
03:58The referee has a look at his watch.
04:00And blows.
04:02So entertaining game between these two.
04:04No real clear-cut chances.
04:06Well, a few.
04:07One for Adria.
04:09Arguably one for side Bakari for Comoros.
04:12But it's been played at high intensity, high tempo.
04:16And at the half-time whistle, it is Comoros nil.
04:20Madagascar nil.
04:25Presuming he's on for Remi Vita.
04:31Because Vita was having his first start of the competition,
04:36of the qualifiers.
04:39That's my prediction.
04:40But we'll wait and see.
04:43So Comoros going from right to left.
04:47Confirmation.
04:48Zeidou is out.
04:49And Mchangama is in.
05:03Very nicely worked.
05:05Ball comes across.
05:07And it's off the line.
05:09Maya Lida doesn't connect with it properly.
05:12And Thomas Fontaine heads it over the bar.
05:19Taken short.
05:22It's got to be.
05:23It's off the line.
05:24And the rebound is in.
05:33Comoros have the advantage.
05:43That confirms their current position
05:46at the top of the group.
05:54It was a good delivery.
05:57The header at the far post was from Wamed Amari.
06:03It was palmed up, but only onto the bar.
06:08And finished.
06:13By Yassine Bouhanni.
06:18Yellow card in here for Rafiki Zaid.
06:27For taking his top off.
06:29But he seems to disagree that he took his top off.
06:33From Tremoulet.
06:35Wins the ball back.
06:38Ryan Ponte.
06:41Running at the defense.
06:42Ponte.
06:43Off the bar.
06:50Zaid.
06:53Lutan.
06:54A lot of space over on the far side.
06:56Remi Vita.
06:59Swings at it.
07:00Gets another swing at it as well.
07:02It's a free chance here.
07:05What a stop that is from Benbaina.
07:08But what a chance it was for Warren Caddy.
07:11To bring it down.
07:14And get the shot off.
07:17But it is straight at Benbaina.
07:20Still had to make the save.
07:32And it's back to the game.
07:34Back to the game.
