00:00so we're underway on match day four in group b that's rajah playing from left to right all in

00:10green take on mamalodi sundowns of south africa playing from right to left in the all-white

00:18street

00:29contrasting campaigns as said

00:33it's a divine lunga the zimbabwean

00:38marina's first touch for him strike a goal from distance

00:41from the 29 year old

00:52perhaps it's a sign of what he's trying to do to impress the rajah fans because as said the

00:57players have been under pressure the coach has gone as a result even the club president is

01:04coming under pressure given the way in which the team has started this campaign

01:08swung in at an early chance when bikur couldn't take it the equatorial guinea international

01:15rajah fans would have felt it was their time to shine

01:19instead as already said this scene has gone far from the perfectly for them

01:24is showing some of that frustration

01:40interesting to see how he celebrates if this were to go in

01:45so who do you with the free kick straight into the wall and a fatty hits it

01:49and then a fatty cannot hit the target

01:52and now sundowns can relieve some of the pressure in the back

01:57libero charging forward chance here for matthews and matthews

02:03he just doesn't get anything behind it in the end but

02:10looking for the back stick and headed away we'll come to

02:12causa he just doesn't get anything on it i think he completely missed time that he uh

02:18these three league games not even in the squad

02:24and really coming back into that squad after the coach's departure picora

02:32striker goal not fully cleared and then just snatched up it really took it far too early

02:39suit

02:42they have yet to force ronwin williams into a safe

02:50and there he is the 32 year old

02:53doing 100 appearances for the clubs is joining three years ago now swung in and

03:01out

03:03very very easy save in the end for as neeti

03:09and a fatty rides one challenge from lunga

03:13against his cross he just switches direction of play ribeiro to obas

03:19and obas is under pressure catches and that's a straight red car for obas

03:27obas well drama at the end of this first period and the jury not the first player to roll around

03:34and around from roger casablanca and obas simply cannot believe it and it was a straight red card

03:42and he simply is standing there because the 29 year old

03:47is absolutely baffled then he lost possession obas he went in caught the heels as you can clearly

03:56caught the heels as you can clearly see of najari

04:01overplayed his hand

04:05and it's certainly gonna hurt

04:16benamar into the middle good ball in header a goal

04:19najari forcing the diving save from ronwen williams

04:27can they find the opening goal in first half stoppage time surely they can here

04:32and roger casablanca do precisely that and it comes from the unlikely figure of center

04:38back benaisa benamar you had the freedom of casablanca to fire roger into a one goal lead

04:47their second goal in the group stages in their fourth game and finally some cheer

04:54for their beleaguered supporters and there'll be a lot of questions at the back from sundowns

05:00about how exactly that happened because nmr was one of three players standing over the ball with

05:06the opportunity to put it in the back of the net no offside decision that's what they were waiting

05:10for his first touch killed it his second touch almost took it away

05:18and as that was coolly into the bottom corner

05:20it just almost got stuck under his feet didn't it for benamar

05:29but he sent williams the wrong way

05:34look how he celebrates as well benaisa benamar

05:41so

05:52and it certainly was a mixed first half

05:56in terms of having a little bit of everything a red card goals scuffle between players

06:03uh

06:07nervous energy in the only 5-10 minutes

06:13and a fatty to the byline he goes into the middle it goes

06:15his chance here for nfc saved well by williams

06:20he's

06:26demonstrating with himself

06:31little boy on the corner from bullock suit into the middle it goes

06:37blue green still they come forward raja well that's a nice ball around the corner

06:42into the mid just over the head of najari and then the chance again and you can't keep it

06:50you can clearly see the five men across the back for sundowns as that shot is flashed in

06:55bullock suit with the drive that stands his ground holds on to the ball

07:00embracing the dial who founds mcquena mcquena from distance

07:04hit the target missed the second round can he deliver and get sundowns back into it

07:14he can't because it's tame again

07:18doesn't feel he's necessarily got the decisions for the referee

07:24lovely ball from blue green excellent save from williams that was really good football from raja

07:29going to be their best move of the matches blue green let's fly again

07:35i'm gonna push it

07:37oh that's late on modiba who's just come on and what's the referee done well mcquena's having a

07:44word absolutely having a word there is not going to be a friendly after match drink between these

07:52sets of players maro and zilla it was who is going in hard on medina who had just come on

08:00the referee's got his yellow card he's surely going to be brandishing it in the direction of

08:05maro and zilla one when williams has come all the way to have a word with the referee as well

08:12so zilla that's a pretty bad challenge and madiba wrote it pretty well

08:42so

08:52a lot of emotion out on the pitch i think would be a diplomatic way perhaps of putting it

09:02but a chance here for raja to settle this encounter straight into the

09:05wall it goes from the substitute bottom and then round the back they go

09:12zahooni to marmuri he gets his header very very wrong

09:20without launches it long up towards rainers who's plowed a lonely faro

09:26forward but he's gone in too far now

09:28well that was well struck

09:42and then they just hit it long and up towards launch and launches it behind and launch can

09:46level it up here for sundowns in the final stages but he cannot because he just could

09:52not get anything on this strike and they enter bodice hand from very very close range

09:58they're gonna have another red card

10:02and this has been fairly extraordinary and i think it's going to be madara for that challenge

10:06on zahooni and i think the frustrations and i think zahooni

10:15has quite possibly won that psychological battle and it lofts it in

10:23shallowly lay on the turn blocked by raja comes up the corner again and the final whistle has

10:29gone and raja celebrate the much needed victory and sundowns have suffered their first defeat

10:37of the campaign it has not been a pretty game by any stretch of the imagination but they will not

10:42matter to the raja players who have lifted themselves off the bottom of the group group

10:50b with their first victory at the fourth time of asking
