00:00Yeah, Casablanca, Joseph Picasso with a 79th minute equalizer there and then in their home game
00:07against Asfar, Excelchia Moanda, the first half opener. Asfar coming back though with an equalizer
00:14in the second half. Scoring group, Mammolodi Sundown's top of the group at the moment.
00:19They've only scored two goals in three matches. We're underway then here
00:24in Meknes, the sixth biggest city. Open space on that left-hand side now,
00:31another ball curled into the near post. Timur Sankt.
00:37And Orobunyak nearly got there. The ball eventually rebounded and was hammered home.
00:43And it's Ait Bukhane with his second goal of the competition that's put Asfar into an early lead
00:49here. Big smiles on the home fans' faces.
01:05That's when he got the home crowd going. But look at that gap down the left-hand side there.
01:09It all opened up. Good ball into Orobunyak. He got enough of a touch to take it away from
01:18the defender. And Orkan following up as a good midfielder should. Hammering that one home,
01:27no chance of Brudel-Efonge. Beautiful ball in there. Orobunyak just causing enough of a nuisance
01:36at the near post. Follow-up coming from midfield and Asfar take the lead here. Sharp eye out for
01:43such things during this game. Free kick comes in and it's volleyed across goal. And how on earth
01:52has he missed that header? Henok Inonga.
01:57The Rabat defender fronted. The nice little ball through for Al-Fahly.
02:03Al-Fahly cuts the ball back and Susu off balance. Scoops that one over the bar.
02:13That was a beautifully worked move.
02:19Midfielder's not tracking back. And you've got five defenders there in and around the
02:24six-yard box. None of them anywhere near. Corner goes into the near post. Then it's
02:32put back across goal. Flicked on as well. But there was no one at the back post there.
02:36Undon Baylor, the captain, it was. He flicked that on at the near post.
02:39Who's going to have the honour here? So it's Bang Central. It's ever so inviting.
02:43Left foot, right foot, top left, top right. Anything is up here.
02:48Taukan Erer, the number two. Looks like he might have a go.
02:55He doesn't but it goes straight in there. The keeper completely fooled.
03:00It's gone straight through him. And his first half stoppage time.
03:05And that's for two goals to the good. What was the keeper doing there?
03:20Another group celebration.
03:25Zamin Susu with his second goal of the competition.
03:29Now let's see a replay. Well, this won't show us anything.
03:37I don't think there was a deflection. The keeper didn't move.
03:44Oh, surely he's got a camera in behind.
03:48And this might help.
03:51Well, the ball hasn't even curved in the air. It's gone straight over the wall,
03:56dead straight, straight at the keeper. He's moved slightly to the right.
03:58It's gone straight through him. Schoolboy stuff there from Brun de la Fonga.
04:09Looks behind him. Goodness knows what his teammates are thinking.
04:13Oh, 2-0. And the referee deciding. I think that that's enough for the first half.
04:32Pappy Kimoto still after 15 minutes of halftime to try and figure out what happened. They're still
04:38at a loss to tell you exactly how the keeper missed that one. So underway then for the second
04:42half as far in the predominantly black tops, the black army kicking from half as well so far.
04:54Good ball into the back post and the header from Kitambala. His first real effort of the game.
05:00A bit of a tame one though, straight at the goalkeeper. Better though.
05:13Safe goal. Just the three players coming forward on this one, but he spotted the
05:17runner over the right hand side. Now shot comes in and it's straight at the keeper.
05:21And this time it doesn't.
05:29Ball in behind and the defenders have left that one alone. And is that the equalizer? Did it cross
05:34the line? Well, Tau Canero there, I think has saved the first goal for Man Uema.
05:44The defense, all I see here, the ball over the top and that's a fantastic piece of defense
05:50work from the Angolan defender. The camera angle showing us he clearly got that before it went over
05:57the line. Keystone Kop defending that preceded it a few seconds earlier. Corner comes in now,
06:04flicked on at the near post. First time shot comes in and that's well struck, but also well
06:10wide of the upright. Ball again given away. High up the pitch. An opportunity knocks here. Shot
06:18from distance and why not? We've seen that second goal go in just on the stroke of home.
06:28That shot there.
06:31High, wide and handsome.
06:35From it, there's an extra man over on this left-hand side now. Lots of yellow shirts coming
06:41forwards. Oh, and picked up in a little bit of space here. Nice bit of footwork and the shot
06:45blocked there as Koloa tried to make some space. Now Bakasu again. Challenge as well.
06:51Shot coming in from the edge of the area. That one deflects over onto this near side now.
06:59Eventually lofted in as a high.
07:04Shot coming in from distance here, but never got his feet in position, did he?
07:17Remat times the pass perfectly, I think. Ball comes in, but straight at the keeper
07:26and the referee decides enough is enough. One night here
07:30at the Stadion in Meknes and it's Asfara Batu who have gone top of
07:36CAF Champions League Group B after four matchdays with a dominant 2-0 win here.
07:42At home to Maniama Union from DR Congo. All the damage done in an impressive first half performance
07:50from the Moroccans. An insipid first 45, it has to be said, from the Congolese.
07:56In the second half, well, they just sat back really,
08:00absorbed whatever Maniama threw at them, which was, well, not a lot really.
