00:00From last season's Portola, champions Raja Casablanca.
00:06See Asphar who finished a point below them,
00:09kick things off on match day one of the CAF Champions League
00:14and already are coming together.
00:20Ayubel Kayati not happy with the challenge that came in from
00:28that ferocious press.
00:31Lisa C, not overly convinced.
00:39Wants to whip in the cross, it's into a great area.
00:44And no chances taken by Anas Bach.
00:49I think pointing out that Tako hadn't made the run in behind
00:53but the fullback wasn't to know that.
00:56No chances taken.
00:59It's of great excitement.
01:07Has won the ball back there.
01:09Hamoudan hits down for the near post.
01:14But no real panic from trying to play their 12th man role.
01:21Ball swung out.
01:22El Fahly tries to get to the byline.
01:26But he will win Asphar's first corner.
01:33Zazu.
01:37Into a decent area and it's struck through the crowd
01:40and it's snuck in!
01:42But it won't count.
01:45Anas Zanitti very comfortable and confident it was going to be offside.
01:51Hit there but this was the flick.
01:53But offside.
01:54One, two.
01:56And particularly once the knee.
01:58Some neat touches then it's loose.
02:01And Asphar could be in.
02:03Chance to shoot from distance.
02:05But just as it was at the other end with Sako.
02:09High and wide.
02:11From Kiemi.
02:14And others trying to wriggle free as it's taken short.
02:18The angle changed.
02:20Ball breaks out.
02:22Low cross.
02:23Falls all the way.
02:25And then poor touch from Fedousi.
02:29But lovely from Sako changing direction.
02:31Tries to curl it in.
02:33Not the most comfortable looking save.
02:35But Mukayati.
02:37And now a huge opportunity.
02:40Hamoudan.
02:41One on one.
02:43And he slots Asphar into the lead.
02:46Slots Asphar into the lead.
02:49As silence falls upon the Stadlarby Zouli.
02:56A horror moment for Raja.
03:01But Asphar.
03:04Fired into the lead.
03:06After great composure.
03:10By Hamoudan.
03:13And look.
03:14The reaction of Ricardo Sapinto.
03:17Of their chance to celebrate.
03:19But he hits it against Asphar's number 11.
03:22Who then picks his pocket.
03:25Hilal Fedousi.
03:27Tried to get back as well.
03:30And as Zanetti.
03:32Was left playing a guessing game.
03:35And Hamoudan.
03:38Could have picked anywhere.
03:40But he went in.
03:43To the very corner.
03:47And the 33-year-old.
03:50Skipping through.
03:53And netting.
03:55For the first time.
03:58In two months.
04:03So after.
04:06The draining.
04:08Casablanca Darby.
04:10And their last outing.
04:12Raja.
04:13Looking to hit back.
04:15Top class save from El Kayate.
04:18Gets a kiss.
04:20Slight deflection.
04:21Helping Asphar.
04:23As the halftime whistle goes.
04:30Well it was goalless.
04:32In the last meetings between these sides.
04:34But Baddy's.
04:35Bad decision making.
04:37Allowed Hamoudan.
04:39To have a bit of freedom.
04:46So we are back underway.
04:48Raja.
04:50Trailing by a goal to nil.
04:52They led.
04:54In the Casablanca Darby.
04:56Through Pape Sacco.
04:58Only for Wiedad.
05:00To come away with a point.
05:02Now it is the Green Eagles.
05:04That have to do.
05:06A recovery job.
05:08Down for the capital.
05:16Ball swung in.
05:18Beats all those at Green.
05:20Baddy now.
05:22Doesn't want to get caught out again.
05:24Wrestles though.
05:26Successfully.
05:28And now Sacco in behind.
05:30But he just can't beat the goalkeeper to the ball.
05:35Of the 27 year old.
05:38It's crashed off the post.
05:42What an opportunity.
05:44And Raja.
05:46The width of the post away.
05:48From levelling up the game.
05:52Trying to pick their moment.
05:54Perfectly.
05:56Running behind.
05:58The fullback.
06:00Hits the target.
06:02But he made the angle tougher.
06:04And Inonga.
06:06Keeping the pressure on.
06:08Ball in.
06:10Belayli.
06:14Nice little ball through.
06:16Into the middle.
06:18It goes.
06:20And into the back of the net.
06:22It goes.
06:24Well it didn't have much power.
06:26And it's not something that.
06:28The goalkeeper.
06:30Is going to want to look at again.
06:32Because that just dribbled through.
06:34A perfect start.
06:36For Esperanz.
06:38Seconds on the clock.
06:40And fouled by Yousef Belayli.
06:42And look at this.
06:44How on earth.
06:46Did he miss that.
06:48And no wonder.
06:50He holds his head in his hands.
06:52The 24 year old.
06:54That is meat and drink for a goalkeeper.
06:56But not on this occasion.
07:00And Esperanz lead.
07:02It is the very worst.
07:04Possible start.
07:06For the visitors.
07:16All swung in.
07:18Flicked away.
07:20Edge of the area.
07:22Digs out a shot.
07:24World class save.
07:26To keep the score at 1-0.
07:28And the goalkeeper.
07:30Is going to want to look at.
07:32And look at this.
07:34It is a goal.
07:36Stopping an absolute stunner.
07:38From bursting his net.
07:40Not a million miles away.
07:42Sacco.
07:44Free header.
07:46But straight at the goalkeeper.
07:48Who pams it out.
07:50Well he is asking.
07:52How on earth that happened.
07:54But the header.
07:56Just too safe.
07:58But can they find.
08:00And fight.
08:02Their way back in.
08:04Lovely touch around the corner.
08:06Najari across.
08:08And this time.
08:10It is a ball.
08:14Back asks if the rest crazy.
08:16Not.
08:18The best thing for him to do.
08:20And it is bringing.
08:22A huge moment.
08:24Dug out the cross.
08:26The hand was out.
08:28From Hatim Esaoui.
08:32Better angle here.
08:34Of what the referee saw.
08:36And his hand out.
08:44He scored at both ties then.
08:46But he has been denied here.
08:50And El Cayate just does not.
08:52Want to be beaten.
08:56Well Gandalf said.
08:58You shall not pass.
09:00That is a motto.
09:02That fits perfectly.
09:04For El.
09:06It was not a great penalty.
09:08He hoped.
09:10The goalkeeper would dive.
09:12But once.
09:14He stood his ground.
09:16It was straight at him.
09:18Just a slight move to his left.
09:22And now.
09:24This is surely it.
09:26He has got to stay on side.
09:28The flag stays down.
09:30And surely it is going to be.
09:32Game over.
09:34They are looking to walk it in.
09:36And they have done so.
09:44On the end.
09:46Of a.
09:48Triangle.
09:52It has been.
09:54A nightmare.
09:56Since.
09:58Baddie was robbed.
10:00For Amodan's opener.
10:02In the first half.
10:04Late on.
10:06Missing a penalty.
10:08Down to 10 men.
10:10Due to an injury.
10:12On the side.
10:14But then this was just cool.
10:16As you like.
10:18Just making sure.
10:20And.
10:22It is.
10:24On the bench.
10:26The substitutes.
10:28Combining.
10:30It finishes.
10:32The contest.
10:34As for.
10:36I have come to.
10:38And are leaving.
10:40With all three points.
10:42From their.
10:44Crown last season.
10:46There is.
10:49The Gunners.
10:53Have certainly fired up.
10:55Their Champions League campaign.
