00:00As we get underway at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
00:06This is match day four of the Total Energies African Nations Championship.
00:17Madagascar have an early set-piece opportunity that they've chosen to take quickly.
00:24The centre-half pairing remains the same.
00:26Trout alongside Tony, right, with Ketuki and Nikola running the flanks.
00:36A bit of a different dimension there.
00:42Initially, though, it does appear as so...
00:47Now stealing in well here is Donald Gesset.
00:53Sets the ball back for Poggi.
00:55Lovely ball and flag stays down.
00:59He's been dispossessed cleanly here after beating a couple of men.
01:03Lefov are on the move.
01:05Oh, self-strike.
01:07Off target from Dimitri Cogbeto.
01:11Although he sat on the bench in 2021 and played all three games in 2023.
01:15Oh, that's not the most convincing defending from Tony.
01:20Big chance here.
01:21Oh, put wide of the mark by Jouveno Poggi.
01:26...to pull the trigger, although it may have identified that there were too many bodies in front of him.
01:32Oh, a sprawling save from the young goalkeeper who's spilled the ball.
01:39And in his...
01:41Bongire has found Nangmema.
01:49That's an excellent ball into the area.
01:51Saved by Tondo.
01:52Well, the flag raised once again.
02:01Oh, this is a clear offside.
02:04Although, technically, they did finish behind Alial Ndurman of Sudan, who were invitees.
02:15As Tondo doesn't get hold of that in the way he would have wanted.
02:20Leaving an opportunity for Ansh Sumada, who came steaming in at the back post.
02:25But, I did say in yesterday's press conferences, the press conference that not taking much from the World Cup qualifier as a decent ball in is turned past the post.
02:36Another opportunity spurned.
02:40And C.A.R. have had more than enough chances.
02:45And C.A.R. have had more than enough chances.
02:58Makhriz Malki calls an end to an opening period where either side could very easily have hit the front.
03:07Many will be wondering indeed how it is still nil-nil.
03:11But the score remains unchanged after 45 minutes.
03:15Many will be wondering the Swords.
03:16Makhic miles, Madagascar, and Centraile Sourie cup.
03:18Three years now.
03:31He is joined on the park by 22-year-old Patrick.
03:36the first attacking set piece of the game bent back in tooky takes care of the danger
04:05up to their feet as he's fed unsure whether this meant for Ryan or for Luke don't think either
04:22player knew either now this could be an opportunity oh it's so awkward and the referee has spotted
04:33Feno Asina came flying and he's clearly handled that one.
04:50Good reactions though too.
04:58The play will resume despite the prayers from the Madagascar dugout.
05:06As we await this free kick, delivered in by Yang Gao, away by Tony.
05:25Heal the behind for qualifying for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
05:30These two sides drew 1-1 in Antananarivo.
05:35Ryan lifted into the box and cushioned towards goal.
05:39And a brilliant, brilliant goal line clearance.
05:52The line-up looking to do what he did in the World Cup qualifying back in March.
06:00...twice for the time for stars.
06:04Goal, it's turned towards goal.
06:07There's still some defensive work needing to be done.
06:10And at the near post, the full senior team coach, former captain Enza Yamisi Iloge.
06:20He's at the tournament, watching on, assessing things.
06:24There's a chance here for Madagascar, who finally find the back of the net.
06:34They've given themselves life in this tournament.
06:53In the closing stages of the game.
07:04And there he was to pounce.
07:15Well, Niana, starts at the previous match.
07:25That's a strong run from Nikola, who continues to go.
07:29Great ball in.
07:30How has he missed that chance to wrap it up inexplicably?
07:46Oh!
07:47And hit in.
07:48There it is.
07:49Now they've wrapped it up.
07:51Lailana, who scored against the Central African Republic in World Cup qualifying a few months
07:58back, has put that man at ease.
08:10The dream officially comes to an end.
08:14And Lailana, who has been excellent in both defense and attack today, drills it into the
08:23bottom corner.
08:27Goalkeeper appeared to get a touch on that, but it was hit with such power by the young
08:34midfielder.
08:46The final whistle sounds.
08:50Madagascar have labored to victory.
08:54Big goals from Tukiniana and Lailana put away a Central African Republic, who in truth, had
09:07they been just a little more clinical, could have taken the lead in this game given the number
