00:04 [Sounds of the stadium]

00:11 We are underway.

00:13 It's Espérance going to the sundowns with a 1-0 lead.

00:17 Can they hold on to it?

00:19 A goal for them could be oh so vital in Champions League football.

00:23 We've been...

00:25 ...do so with effect tonight.

00:26 It's another long, long ball to Masako.

00:29 Yassine Maria did really well.

00:30 He's a powerful force at the heart of that Espérance defence.

00:35 No chance for a counter.

00:37 It's going to come through to Masako.

00:39 A real chance and there's a great save from Mamiche.

00:42 The young Tunisian keeper.

00:48 Comes a resulting corner.

00:49 The punch from Mamiche should be just about okay

00:54 for the player who's kept a lot of clean sheets of late.

00:56 7 on the bounce in the Champions League.

01:04 These two teams will be hoping that Al-Ali win that other semi-final.

01:07 Because it will mean they'll go to the...

01:12 Cross comes in very quickly.

01:13 Excuse me.

01:14 And held by Amine Al-Ali Mamiche.

01:17 Talking about the FIFA Club World Cup.

01:22 Both these two teams will be looking to go to the USA next year.

01:27 Held by Amine Al-Ali Mamiche.

01:33 Through to this semi.

01:34 Are we hoping the path goes all the way to the title?

01:36 And the header is just over from Shalhoub Lila.

01:42 It was direct and it nearly came off.

01:45 Masako getting the final touch.

01:46 The brain is just getting heavier and heavier.

02:09 SSC is going to bring the players off.

02:16 It'll be a short pause.

02:21 The rain has made things very difficult.

02:25 So I talked about the route to the semis for the hosts.

02:34 What about Esperance?

02:35 It was a bit trickier for them.

02:38 They started in the second qualifying round.

02:41 Beating Duan Vurkina-Faso.

02:42 1-0 in the penalty and 0-0 in the second leg.

02:48 And in their group they won 3-2 and lost 1-1.

02:52 Petro Luanda only scoring the two goals.

02:55 I think there's going to be a discussion here with the CAF officials just about whether

02:59 play can go on.

03:00 There may be some weather issues.

03:02 Perhaps with lightning.

03:03 So of course the welfare of the players.

03:04 It does seem to be a bit of lightning.

03:11 So that is the question.

03:29 It looked too serious an hour or so ago.

03:51 There was some rain.

03:52 It's getting very heavy.

03:53 There is lightning.

03:54 So the CAF officials and Issa Sisi just having a word.

04:00 I think this game might be delayed halfway through the first half.

04:04 It's 0-0 between the Sundowns and Esperance.

04:09 One nil on aggregate to the Tunisians.

04:19 There you see the lightning.

04:21 Certainly well caught by the cameraman.

04:25 I think Rodriguez also seeing the lightning was pretty close to the pitch.

04:41 Looks like there will be a delay in the game.

04:54 So we are back to the semi-final.

04:59 If you could imagine more drama.

05:01 Well, we've had a one hour delay of this CAF Champions League semi-final.

05:06 What more drama can we have?

05:09 And thankfully, first shot early on in this second part of the first half, if you want

05:14 to put it that way.

05:15 Marseille Allende with a brilliant shot.

05:20 Just wide.

05:21 That was clever.

05:22 Maybe just looking to shock Aminala Memiche.

05:26 Kikana again.

05:27 Finding some space and some width.

05:28 Maybe a chance here for the Sundowns.

05:29 It's across.

05:30 It's punched out by Memiche.

05:31 A real chance.

05:32 And it's a goal.

05:33 Brilliant defending from the Tunisian.

05:39 Lucas Costa.

05:42 Kotsia.

05:44 Lidau.

05:46 Seeing a lot of the ball the right back.

05:52 Very advanced position.

05:54 Kotsia in.

05:56 Half punched out by Memiche.

05:58 The host might be forced into another change.

06:02 Because of that incident.

06:03 He had a right to go for it.

06:06 Aminala Memiche.

06:07 Some collateral damage.

06:08 All in order.

06:09 He's just turned 20 years old.

06:10 He does have a young looking face and a great future no doubt.

06:21 He'll have some defending to do here.

06:24 And he does.

06:25 Memiche saves.

06:26 From the attack from the Sundowns.

06:27 Throwing everyone forward.

06:32 A bit of an argument there with Tugay.

06:43 He goes on and knocks it in.

06:48 He's at the far post.

06:49 And again Esperance.

06:50 Their bodies on the line.

06:51 They do defend so well.

06:52 A lot of work to do for Esperance.

06:57 In this first half.

06:58 Allende whips it in.

06:59 Headed out by Rodriguez.

07:01 Back into the penalty area.

07:03 And a brilliant save again from Memiche.

07:07 What this young keeper has denied Chalo Lile not for the first time this evening.

07:14 It was nicely recycled from the Sundowns.

07:18 And it was a point blank header.

07:23 And a world class save.

07:28 The second half is underway.

07:31 It's still 1-0 on aggregate.

07:33 To Esperance of Tunisia.

07:38 A bit more patient from the Sundowns.

07:41 Rivaldo Concia.

07:44 Ball through.

07:45 Is he going to come through to Chalo Lile?

07:48 It's in the post.

07:50 Chalo Lile was so close.

07:53 And he saw his shot bounce agonizingly against the post.

07:57 Another team from Tanzania.

07:59 It's a country that really is on the rise football wise.

08:03 Simba and young Africans.

08:05 Again that man Tugay.

08:07 In a rock tonight.

08:10 Roger Halou gets half a touch.

08:13 And it's a straight wide.

08:15 Just when it looked like the goal was beckoning.

08:19 It was too high.

08:23 Still 0-0.

08:25 There might be a chance.

08:26 The first chance for Esperance.

08:28 And they've scored.

08:29 Would you believe it?

08:30 Bushneba.

08:31 The substitute with the first chance of the match for Esperance.

08:36 Well you have to hand it to Bushneba.

08:38 He chased everything down there.

08:40 He was onside.

08:41 The look up.

08:42 First touch into the corner.

08:44 And that's how to finish.

08:48 Make the difference.

08:56 Waddaw.

08:58 Well defended that time by Ben Mida.

09:04 Ball is still in.

09:05 Nicely done from the sundowns.

09:11 A place to find a shot.

09:13 There's just so many blue defenders back there.

09:16 High and wide.

09:18 A frustrated Allende.

09:26 Allende coming a bit deeper.

09:30 Hooked in again.

09:32 It's over.

09:35 The turn was real quality.

09:38 But there was too much on the strike.

09:40 Put it over again.

09:45 Maldiba again.

09:47 Find a bit of space between the lines.

09:49 But good defensive work.

09:50 Time from Ogbele.

09:53 Finally a bit of space for the team in yellow in the box.

09:56 But it's into the arms of Mamesh again.

10:02 Allende has six to aim for in the box.

10:05 Again Maria heads out.

10:07 Missed very little tonight.

10:08 Maria again.

10:10 Into the danger area from Maldiba.

10:13 That's going to be held by Mamesh.

10:16 And he goes to the turf again.

10:18 On the 30th.

10:19 They need to pick themselves up for that big, big game.

10:23 But still hoping here.

10:25 That's high and wide from Lucas Costa.

10:28 Well, they summed up their evening.

10:30 Some good approach play into the right positions.

10:33 But the finishing has just not been there.

10:39 Nice turn.

10:40 The first touch was good.

10:41 Second, not quite.

10:46 Force back.

10:47 Maldiba.

10:49 Maldiba driving through two players.

10:51 Maldiba looking for glorious off the bar.

10:54 What an effort from Maldiba.

10:57 And unfortunate.

10:58 It cannoned off the bar.

11:01 It was a super strike from distance.

11:04 And he will not come closer to scoring.

11:06 For once, Mamesh beaten.

11:10 Look at that strike.

11:13 Off the bar.
