00:00and within hopefully two hours or so the new champion of Africa will be crowned that's after
00:10Senegal took their first ever title two years ago also here in Egypt slow start missing out
00:17completely in the first game to come in since then and produced well down that left flank for
00:26South Africa so we're underway South Africa the de facto home team in their
00:31usual thing out on the left and Othman Maama expect those three to be relatively
00:38full of the ball given away here in early chance for South Africa well well Jody
00:43Ashent presented a chance on the plate in just the third minute
00:48this was the poor back pass early I mean he looked up saw him there it appeared you know
00:58he looks up sees the man doesn't anticipate at all very lucky to get away with that very good
01:05goalkeeping as well from Ben Chouch nice play down the right-hand side from Morocco
01:14now finding space on the opposite flank the ball coming in deflecting turn shoot
01:24Smith there though to deflect that behind for a corner
01:27this ball down the left headed back as well so it's opening up from Morocco and the shot straight
01:36at Smith Rowe fair to say to hack with the cross field ball and that's finding some space over on
01:43that left-hand side South Africa chasing back oh lovely run inside goes with a shot parried cleared it
01:50eventually by Sabia and now maybe South Africa on the counter Shaquille April sprinting down that
01:59right flank he's got lots of grass in front of him two teammates up there as well
02:03goes for the shot that's parried as well and headed away from just outside the six
02:07yard box for a people get there eventually hustled out of it but Kekana picks up the
02:11loose ball
02:13well no foul by the referee the shot comes in and it's just turned around the post that was an awkward
02:25one from to hack Smith low getting down with that dip nicely just in front of the South African stopper
02:32needs to offload the ball before he's caught up though and it wasn't a good ball in the end and now all of a
02:41sudden Morocco on the attack again shot comes in that pieces that's been pulled from the South
02:49Africans so far it's coming near the end of the first half that's a better delivery
02:55the referee seeing a foul in Akazi now that's a poor ball from Vinokazi now maybe Morocco on the
03:07counter-attack here here's Essida puts the ball through is El Abdelawi forced wide patient
03:15defending from Smith and the shot straight at Smith low all came from a poor pass up at the other end
03:25from Vilakazi snuffed out a really promising South African attack
03:44so the referee have to be fair right brings up an entertaining first half to an end here at the 30th of June
03:54stadium
04:00South Africa nil Morocco nil at half-time both sides with their chances
04:05Morocco get us underway then for the second half nil nil at the break South Africa attacking the goal on our
04:19right in this second period now shit with an early touch bustled off the ball by buff
04:25on the far side the attack still underway here ball into the near post opportunity knocks and the shot straight at the keeper and then blocked by Nikuali on the far side
04:38the lap to allow I think it was with the stab at goal
04:42the police were sad he was in there as well
04:44could play down that side from Katoon missed at the near post a little stab the ball just getting under his feet a bit for El Abdelawi
04:54didn't produce much in this second half though so maybe just running out of gas a little bit
05:01the number 11 which is why he's been withdrawn as the header comes in
05:04from El Abdelawi puts that one well wide
05:11what you'd be hoping for slightly more open game
05:14what you'd be hoping for slightly more open game
05:21what you'd be hoping for slightly more open game
05:25what the ball is whipped into the back post with a header
05:28slightly weak one straight at Smittybalf rampaging forward the Moroccan sense of back
05:35El Abdelawi as well to battle for the ball there and Mamma pulls the trigger from the right hand left hand side rather
05:42just rather scuffs it a little bit
05:48in Karalby oh and now an opportunity here for South Africa
05:51the flag stays down the shot goes in and that's 1-0 no it isn't
05:57well it seemed like the players stopped
06:00Kekana finding the back of the net
06:03only for the flag to go up I think he knew he was offside anyway
06:07we wait to see the replay
06:11I'm not so sure you know
06:18in her headset
06:20and there's the goal it's been given
06:24Habri did indeed play Kekana onside
06:27and South Africa dramatically take the lead
06:30and I think the little rye smile
06:39from Karina Fomo the Cameroonian lines lady
06:43I think she heard I think over her headset
06:48it's so difficult to judge these things in real time
06:52it's a horrible job you know running the line
06:55anyone who's run the line for their children or what have you
06:58the ball back in the game again
07:00and now he's got plenty of space back there
07:02a little lackadaisical at the back from April
07:04Malmah chips the ball in
07:06Smith low
07:11it's Keraubi
07:13tries to make headway down that
07:15right hand side was double banked eventually as the ball taken off his toes
07:21Malangu battling away
