00:00 I think he had a bit of injury in the last game.
00:03 He limped off, and they were able to replace him.
00:08 Today, if you see this team, you can see it's a very, very
00:12 organized team.
00:13 It's going to be a very, very attacking team today.
00:15 And Rolani McQueen has worked with these boys.
00:18 He knows how to manage this boy.
00:21 And as we said earlier, I can't wait for this game.
00:23 Off we go then.
00:29 The winner of the inaugural African Football League
00:32 will be decided here today.
00:33 It's the second leg of the final.
00:35 Mamelodi Sundowns and Widad Casablanca,
00:38 the Moroccans leading 2-1 from the first leg on home turf
00:43 last weekend.
00:43 Sundowns, of course, a formidable force at home.
00:46 It's going to be Aubrey Modiba to flight it in.
00:53 It's a poor delivery and a chance maybe for Widad
00:55 to break here.
00:57 And a free kick is given.
00:59 Dropping deep, leaving Shalulile and Lucas Ribeiro Costa up front.
01:08 Temez Vane Akeni experienced South African international.
01:11 Allende looking to get the ball into the box.
01:16 It's laid off for the shot.
01:18 It's well wide.
01:19 It's really the first attempt at all.
01:26 Modiba again.
01:27 Again they look to play that early flighted ball
01:31 into the penalty box from deep.
01:34 Again a...
01:36 And he's also a very good football player.
01:39 Yeah, and he's flighted that ball forward early
01:41 and it might just fall here for Moudao in the end.
01:43 It comes off his head and...
01:46 Boutouille.
01:49 It's a good ball for Moudao on the near side here.
01:54 Moudao's cross, an awkward one for the goalkeeper.
01:57 Harkas completes the clearance.
02:00 It's a bit better from Sundaus, putting the pressure on the...
02:04 Pass fed through for Allende.
02:07 Moquena continues the run forward, you can hear the noise of the crowd.
02:13 Getting excited as Moquena made the run and he's managed to get the shot in.
02:18 And this time maybe!
02:19 The goal comes in stoppage time at the end of the first half!
02:24 And it's that man, Shalhoub Lile, following in after Moquena,
02:30 as he loves to do, got the shot in from range.
02:34 And Mamelodi Sundaus draws first blood in his second leg
02:38 and the advantage swings their way in this final.
02:41 Great goal, great teamwork.
02:44 And what I love about Moquena, he was down, he stretched to take the ball to the left
02:49 and then the ball came on and then they scored.
02:51 This is what we were waiting for, a final and a crucial goal
02:55 from an important player who was out for a while.
02:58 He came and then he proved he's the man.
03:01 Yes, the Namibian international, Peter Shalhoub Lile, taking the acclaim.
03:07 There are few players on the African continent who can do the job like he does.
03:12 In that penalty box, Moquena, lovely first touch, got the shot away quickly.
03:18 Shalhoub Lile was on the right side of the defender when the shot came in.
03:23 He was onside and he followed in brilliantly.
03:26 The great instinct of the poacher, something that you know all too well, Asamoah,
03:30 how to do that job.
03:32 And Shalhoub Lile keeping his cool to apply the finish.
03:35 Great finish by Shalhoub Lile.
03:37 He saw one defender and then a goalkeeper coming to a 50-50 ball.
03:42 And he was so calm.
03:44 And Sundaus have the away goal advantage.
03:48 Asamoah, your thoughts quickly on that first half?
03:50 Yeah, I think it's a fair result, although the frustration...
03:53 So we're underway in the second half
03:58 of the second leg of this African Football League final.
04:01 And, well, it's been gripping stuff so far here today, as it was.
04:08 A reminder that Shalhoub Lile came into the team today,
04:11 as has Lucas Ribeiro Costa, the Brazilian, appearing for the first time.
04:15 And it could be in again, Shalhoub Lile pouncing on the short back pass.
04:19 Couldn't make the most of that chance gifted to him,
04:22 Youssef El Moti able to make the save.
04:24 Here at the start of the second half today are players who have scored big goals in the past.
04:30 This man, Saif Eddin Bukhra, came off the bench to score
04:34 in the first leg of the Champions League final last season.
04:37 He's been respected, he's been very, very vigilant on the field.
04:41 And Sundance could be in again, another loose ball, they pounce upon it.
04:45 There is that precious second goal that Sundance wanted so much,
04:50 you can see what it means to Rulani Mokwena.
04:52 And the Sundance players, the substitutes, the staff,
04:56 all jumping on top of Aubrey Modiba.
04:59 The crowd erupting again here, another mistake by Wiedad.
05:06 They were not punished before when Shalhoub Lile was denied by Youssef El Moti,
05:11 but this time they are.
05:13 And that was a great finish by Sundance, he kept his composure,
05:23 just had to chip the ball, just watch out.
05:27 Yeah, it was a really poor ball back the way, wasn't it?
05:30 Aimed at Aboufath and Modiba.
05:33 Brilliant anticipation.
05:36 And there is the cool finish, clipped over the goalkeeper and into the net.
05:42 Aubrey Modiba making it 2-0 on the day, 3-2 to Sundance on aggregate.
05:49 28-year-old South African international,
05:53 used to play for Sundance rivals Supersport United,
05:58 getting one of the biggest goals of his career.
06:02 Matija Ala looking to play early towards Sambu,
06:09 and again you see the run being made forward by Ayup El Amloud.
06:14 Allente is in, swinging ball.
06:19 Wiedad trying to scramble it away.
06:24 Eventually it's Boulid Junior Sambu.
06:27 Allente standing over the free kick.
06:32 Gwenna again being asked to shoot from distance.
06:38 That one, right over the crossbar.
06:42 And a one by El Amloud, it's physical.
06:49 Penalised by the referee, Wiedad have it again.
06:59 Great to see this out, the Sundance players and Boulid Junior Sambu.
07:04 ...league last season.
07:06 Forward by El Moti, it's gonna come all the way into the arms of Ronwood Williams,
07:13 who hold the top of his time in the second half,
07:15 but finally the full-time whistle goes.
07:18 And Mamelodi Sundance have done it,
07:21 they are the winners of the first ever African Football League.
07:25 They have beaten Wiedad Casablanca here today by two goals to nil.
07:29 They made a mistake and then they did it again,
07:32 that is the sad part of the game,
07:34 but for me Wiedad didn't approach the game very well from the first half,
07:38 they didn't create any chances,
07:40 they didn't try to do anything in open play,
07:43 and Sundance deserves everything.
07:45 Shalhoub-Lillet and Mbodiba with the goals on the day,
07:47 two nil from Amelodi Sundance,
07:49 and three-two they win on Angrigin against Wiedad Casablanca.
