00:00 Egyptian Premier League titles, as well as 38 Egypt Cup titles, 13 Egypt Super Cups,

00:07 the most successful club in Africa.

00:09 Once again, closest to that incredible tally of league titles, Samalek, their rivals with 14.

00:16 Two of those came in the last three years, so without likely finishing second and then third.

00:25 Referee blows the whistle and away we go in Algiers. Fourth round of games in Group D.

00:31 The 2023-24 Total Energies CAF Champions League.

00:36 Baluzdad take on Al Akhli.

00:38 Baluzdad in their traditional red and white, shooting from left to right.

00:44 As we watch on in this first 45, Al Akhli in their away strip of Poseidon II.

00:50 Scored the first penalty in the shootout with Congo.

00:53 There he is. Number 24 in the middle.

00:59 Yes, putting that behind him and now focused on his defensive duties and he'll need to be here.

01:04 He's into the middle towards one, but missed him.

01:07 The shot was from Hussein Benyada.

01:10 Rather fluffed the shot, though, dragged it well wide of the far post.

01:15 Great work down the left.

01:19 Deserved more. It was just behind.

01:23 Wamba coming in at the middle and Benyada not making the most.

01:29 What was a decent opportunity.

01:32 Harshly cleared away.

01:34 Baluzdad pick it back up, though.

01:36 And here is Benyada.

01:39 Moving it nicely around in the Al Akhli third.

01:47 Shot was blocked, but the clearance was panicked.

01:51 If he keeps it alive, an acrobatic attempt from Wamba.

01:55 It falls kindly, but not kindly enough for Abdurrahman Mezian.

02:02 It was Emad Mahshour who tried to control the ball in his own area.

02:15 Thrown off by the scissor kick attempt from Wamba.

02:19 And he already passed it for Mezian.

02:23 Hence his apologies, perhaps, there to the referee.

02:27 Here come Baluzdad. They're into a real danger area here.

02:30 And it's poked away to safety with Lena Wamba.

02:34 Waiting more and more warning signs from the home side.

02:41 Looking for an offside flag. It wasn't even an intentional pass.

02:45 Stuck under his feet. It's a bit of a block.

02:53 Man, who knows?

02:59 And their fellow group these sides, Young Africans and Madima were bottom of pot three and pot four.

03:05 As it turns out, it's in the balance.

03:09 This game is becoming increasingly in the balance as well.

03:12 As Al-Akhli start to assert their authority.

03:15 Modest and Tayeh Mohamed.

03:18 Headed away by Modest.

03:24 He needs defensive duties as well.

03:26 Shot from range.

03:27 It's on target. Comfortable enough for Mustafa Shoubir.

03:30 That's nicely worked.

03:32 Lifted forwards by Selmi.

03:35 Wamba, chest it down.

03:37 Tries to buy some space.

03:39 Wamba, chest it down.

03:41 Opens up ahead of him.

03:43 But he's missed the shot again.

03:45 Not happening for Lena Wamba.

03:49 Maybe.

03:51 Bouras.

03:53 Belkir plays it through to Mezian.

03:59 Cuts inside.

04:00 Tries to play it back.

04:01 Goes down in the box there, Bouras.

04:03 But...

04:06 At the halfway point, it is.

04:08 We'll lose that nil.

04:09 Al-Akhli nil.

04:10 A few half chances.

04:15 A few bordering on clear cut.

04:18 But certainly not gilt-edged.

04:21 A couple of those felt.

04:25 As he enters the pitch.

04:27 But for now, we get back underway.

04:33 We'll lose that home side.

04:36 Now shooting from right to left.

04:38 The cross not quite finding its target again.

04:41 It's going to drop at the back for Hussein Benyadat.

04:44 That's a good shot.

04:46 Well saved by Mustafa Shoubir.

04:49 Now a corner for the home side.

04:52 And it's acrobatically on target again.

04:56 Again, the save, though, from Shoubir.

05:01 Jostling for space.

05:03 It's struck by Benyadat.

05:05 And off the outside of the upright.

05:07 Benyadat is coming the closest of any Ballustad player.

05:12 Mezian on the right.

05:14 Options in the middle.

05:15 Can he find one?

05:16 Checks back.

05:17 He's looking.

05:19 It was the way forwards.

05:21 Indeed it was.

05:25 Here is Benguitte.

05:26 Plays it back for Mezian.

05:27 In for Wamba.

05:28 He slipped as he took the shot.

05:31 Outside on the back foot.

05:35 Mezian.

05:37 In his shot, though.

05:39 Scuffed well wide.

05:41 Looks set to put it into the box.

05:45 It's jostling, as ever.

05:47 It is Shoubir.

05:48 The most convincing punch.

05:50 It's going to drop to Benyadat.

05:52 This time no shot from the edge of the air.

05:54 It's a good shot.

05:55 It's dropped to Benyadat.

05:56 This time no shot from the edge of the area.

05:58 Comes back to him.

05:59 Whips it in.

06:00 And it had to be saved again by Shoubir.

06:02 On the Al-Aqli side.

06:05 That was the punch which did enough from Shoubir.

06:10 On the attack, as Ballustad.

06:16 Back to controlling possession here.

06:18 Still with the same 11.

06:23 They started with Wamba was one of them.

06:25 And for the last 77 and a half minutes.

06:29 Just lacking a great ball in.

06:32 A brilliant ball.

06:33 Wamba should have done better.

06:35 But lost the track of the flight.

06:40 The more dangerous side.

06:43 However, into the final 10.

06:47 And it is still anybody's game.

06:49 Can they make good on their threat here?

06:51 It's a save from Mustafa Shoubir.

06:53 Down to his right.

06:55 Yusuf Loafi.

06:57 Whilst Wamba hasn't been able to deliver.

07:00 Ballustad back line has threatened.

07:04 There is Wamba.

07:06 It's wide.

07:07 Head in hands.

07:09 It's just starting to look like it's not going to be the big man's day.

07:19 Ballustad.

07:20 Hasn't been able to stop scoring domestically.

07:23 It's a good jump.

07:25 A well timed run.

07:26 Decent contact.

07:28 But still.

07:30 And so for the second time in a row.

07:32 Meeting between Ballustad and Al Akhli ends goalless.

07:36 Nail nail the final score.

07:40 Not for the lack of trying.

07:42 Certainly from Ballustad.

07:46 Found a way to unlock that persistent deadlock.

07:51 That has capsulated the meetings between these two during this group campaign.

07:56 Match day 3 nil nil.

08:00 Match day 4 nil nil.

08:01 But it does.
