00:00And leading the line, perhaps the biggest name in the team.
00:08So the referee blows the whistle,
00:10and away we go in Lubumbashi.
00:13Match day one of this brand new Toto Lenghi's
00:16CAF Champions League campaign.
00:20Zakaria Naichi will be the man to take.
00:30Fails to beat the man at the near post,
00:34and Misenbe also.
00:38It's over the last couple of decades.
00:41Even a runner's up medal from the Club World Cup.
00:45Beaten in the 2010 final by the mighty Inter Milan.
00:51Fafana closing down from the front,
00:53and after a long wait, free kick floats out harmlessly.
01:00Well, it's missed by Mohamed Zagrana.
01:08And here comes Misenbe.
01:10Rather stood on the ball, Gluamujaya.
01:13And the chance goes begging, much to the frustration
01:16of Lemmy Ndiaye.
01:17Entrusted with the important role here,
01:21Musawi's played seven of the nine this season,
01:24played 22 last campaign compared to Ramdan's 10.
01:31Could be a future.
01:35Afghans, Algeria well on their way to the competition.
01:42Taking place in Morocco.
01:43But now focusing on the here and now.
01:46The biggest chance so far for Misenbe.
01:49Dangerous ball into the box.
01:55It's actually MC Alger with a little more of the ball,
01:58has things down, and a few more passes as well.
02:01Only shot of the game so far.
02:06Biggest chance of the game as well.
02:08Will there be another coming here from a similar position?
02:10And it's a similar cross.
02:12It's a similar result, unfortunately,
02:15for the home fans.
02:18One match there ended in a 1-1 draw.
02:20The other, a 1-0 win for TP Misenbe.
02:23Meshach Elia with both the Congolese side's goals.
02:31Ghalem Elume, Atibu, and Jean-Louis Diouf
02:38amongst those in the wall.
02:39And it was over the wall and had to be saved by Fatih.
02:44Dangerous still not over.
02:46Two waiting in the middle, but where the surplus power
02:50on the free kick was a decision from Ernest Luzzolo.
02:56Put that out for a throw because Naji
02:59was gambling on an under-hit headed back pass.
03:04The cross into the middle is saved by Fatih.
03:08And again, there's a second chance on the follow-up.
03:10The flag had gone up, I think, already.
03:14Nicked away from Badamasi.
03:17A lovely dummy from Andy Delort opens things up.
03:21Naji will cut inside and return it to Delort.
03:25And he got a shot away.
03:29Misenbe not able to take immediate advantage.
03:33They retain possession.
03:35And the ball all the way through to Ramdan.
03:41Will they be followed?
03:46A shot at the inside.
03:48Signed his former teammate, Jordan Henderson, briefly.
03:51Afuri moved on to Ajax.
03:53Abdelalawi had moved on long since before then.
03:58But we will move into the halftime break.
04:03Still plenty to say.
04:07But coming on, certainly, Mercé and Gimbi Vundi,
