00:00Guinea in the red and gold with green, while Algeria are in the white and all white here.
00:09Get off with a very unfamiliar start here with a kickoff that just sends the ball straight into touch.
00:17Kabine Koyate.
00:18Neat footwork here from Guinea.
00:21The ball is picked up on the flank.
00:23Abu Bakr Bashir Bangura sets the ball forward here.
00:26Could be an opportunity.
00:27Squared back.
00:28Didn't take the shot of that ball.
00:30Algeria retrieved possession.
00:32He's trying to keep it within the confines of the game.
00:35Neat back here.
00:35Well, that could prove a little costly.
00:37And that's a flick on.
00:38The move kept alive.
00:40The shot in the end.
00:42Needed a little more sting.
00:43Needed a little more venom.
00:46Looks to advance.
00:47That's easily tipped away.
00:49Intense pressure here from the front.
00:51And that does pay off.
00:53Now feeding to the flank.
00:54This is Reda.
00:56Mohamed has a chance.
00:57Mahios gets the chance.
01:03It looked like for a moment the opportunity had gone away.
01:07Mohamed Diabate doing just enough to pile the pressure on.
01:11And forcing a very quick reaction here from Mohamed Mahios.
01:16Good throw.
01:21Gives them on opportunity here.
01:23Now leaves one marker trailing.
01:24Sets up the moment here for Zakaria.
01:26Draw.
01:27He tries to cross the ball in.
01:28Controlled on the far end.
01:30Too much space afforded.
01:32And that just slips away.
01:34Well a little KG defending here from Guinea.
01:38Might want to tighten that up a bit.
01:40You cannot keep giving away spaces like that in your box area.
01:44Closed out here.
01:45Possession turned over.
01:47Searching ball.
01:48Kabine Koyate.
01:49Preventing its initial reach to Miziani.
01:53Miziani now with a cross.
01:55Rush off from the header there from Mahios.
01:59Taint possession.
02:00Is available to provide support.
02:02On the attack.
02:04Here comes Algeria.
02:05Flying down the flank.
02:06Abdurrahman Miziani.
02:08Sets the ball in motion.
02:09Could be an opportunity.
02:10Chipped into the center of the park.
02:13That ball just flunked out there.
02:16Bangla Cissi leading on the front.
02:20Quick it's a change of passes.
02:22The Desert Foxes now trying to get their tails up.
02:26Don't set the ball in.
02:27But that ball has a hard interception here.
02:29And the referee will stop play for the moment.
02:31To be seen.
02:34Once again.
02:35Mori Keita.
02:36Have to be called into action.
02:38Long searching ball.
02:40To make the cut back.
02:42And the tip is over the bar.
02:45Well.
02:46A lot to the danger.
02:47Mori Keita.
02:48Just tipping that over the bar.
02:50For the moment you get the feeling Algeria.
02:53Any player so far.
02:54While Aymanz Mayos has attempted three shots in the game.
02:58Which is the highest tally so far.
03:00In this matchup.
03:02Algeria with another attempt from distance.
03:04A pile driver.
03:07Gimi.
03:07Gimi tight and lock.
03:10The ball is now finally sorted out to the left flank.
03:14First time cross.
03:16Miskew clearance.
03:17And the opportunity could land for Algeria kindly.
03:19That ball hacked clear by Bangla.
03:21Now they look to twist the game out on the way to the right.
03:25Control from Hamid Reda.
03:26Could be able to pull a shot from distance.
03:28But instead goes for the tempo to the ground.
03:31The referee takes one look at it.
03:32And is not interested.
03:34And the counter attack is on.
03:35It's a delayed reaction.
03:37Ultimately the ball fighting its way out to the flank for Moise Kamara.
03:40They prove to be decisive in the game that they played on Monday.
03:51Faced off with South Africa.
03:52Who had just two shots and both were goals.
03:55But that will be contemplation.
03:57That will be made in the second half.
03:59As they will head to the dressing rooms right now.
04:02And Tomcat.
04:04Although they will need him to stay at his very best here for the second 45 minutes.
04:08If they are to guarantee themselves any victory.
04:10Second half gets underway.
04:12Guinea nail.
04:13Algeria nail.
04:18Searching ball out for Miziane.
04:22He's on the flank here.
04:23Mohamed Yuala.
04:24He's a real trickster with his footwork here.
04:26But not able to get past the two-man defense of Algeria.
04:32Once again.
04:33Trying to make headway from the distance.
04:36It's a good shot.
04:37Center forward roll position.
04:42There's a chance to break forward here for the Desert Foxes.
04:45And they lose position in the same breath.
04:49Quick play.
04:49Out on the flank is an opportunity.
04:51That ball is fumbled.
04:54Way back in.
04:55A little hesitant and forced to retreat momentarily Algeria.
05:03Besala.
05:04The edge of the box area trying to chip that in.
05:07Looking to walk the ball towards the box.
05:09Long searching ball.
05:15Headed away.
05:17Vatted momentarily.
05:18Algeria still in position.
05:20Now getting into their slipstream movement.
05:22Out on the flank.
05:23That is in the box area.
05:24Twisting.
05:24Turning.
05:25Moment.
05:27Quickly evading them as a close down was good.
05:29And a decisive pass here.
05:31Trying to cut the ball back into the box area.
05:32Still position for Guinea.
05:36Spread out here for Mohamed Kamara.
05:38Can he fashion out a proper opportunity here?
05:41Sets it in for Abubeka Kamara.
05:43Takes the shot.
05:44Straight down.
05:49Corner.
05:51Lived in.
05:51Gary Yacoba gets the chance.
05:54Nyanya.
05:56Just unable to direct that on target.
06:01Foxes to restart.
06:02Trying to up the ante.
06:05And up the temple of the game.
06:07Hasn't yielded anything just as yet.
06:09But this could be the opportunity here for Guinea.
06:11Opportunity out.
06:12Shot.
06:13Taken in.
06:16And they do open the deadlock.
06:18Finally.
06:20They've hunted high.
06:22They've searched low.
06:23They've prayed and kept the faith.
06:25And ultimately, they've been rewarded.
06:27Team let that go.
06:29A slip up in the midfield.
06:31And a quick acceleration.
06:32They had numbers.
06:33And for the moment, it looked like the opportunity might be good.
06:36But he kept it hard and low.
06:37And as all goalkeeping coaches will tell you, goalkeepers detest to have that ball.
06:42Moving towards the bottom corner.
06:44At that red.
06:46In the end.
06:47Finally proving Zakaria Bulhafaya is human after all.
06:51The ability to have a bit of passive play.
06:54And now they get their first foray forward on the attack.
06:57Right off the instance.
06:58Trying to fashion out something.
07:00But that's quickly averted.
07:01And that's cleared off the line.
07:03The usual incisiveness that he's known for.
07:06This is Mechid.
07:08Mechid looking to get forward.
07:09Has Reda for support.
07:11The cross comes in first time.
07:13Mori Keita.
07:14One of the goalkeepers that favors to use his feet in such a scenario.
07:17The driving seat.
07:1820 minutes left to play.
07:20Guinea 1.
07:21Algeria 0.
07:22Ball whipped in.
07:23Attempting to make a connection there.
07:25Quite bodies in the box area.
07:28Ball tipped backwards.
07:29Looking for a far corner.
07:31That's high and wide.
07:33Pretty incisive.
07:34Trying the cutback.
07:36Trying to get there to Mechid.
07:40Keeps the ball in play.
07:41But only handing the initiative here to Mohamed Bangura.
07:44Muboka.
07:46Alassane Bangura.
07:47Mohamed Bangura.
07:49Threads a through pass here.
07:51Bari Yakoba Nyanya.
07:54At the edge of the box area.
07:55Might fashion a chance.
07:56The touch.
07:57Wasn't as good.
07:58Out of the blocks.
07:59Trying to get numbers up front.
08:01Mohamed Bangura.
08:02Once again.
08:02Looking to be the provider.
08:04Bari Nyanya.
08:05Skips past his marker.
08:06Is there enough support in the box area?
08:08Not quite.
08:09And the pass at the end is a poor one.
08:11Reda.
08:12Halaymiya.
08:13Whips in across.
08:15Goes searching.
08:16Mori Keita.
08:17Punches that away.
08:18Second to score the goal.
08:20But do Algeria have the goal within their ranks?
08:25Chance coming up here.
08:26Trying to get the ball floated into the box area.
08:28The goalkeeper comes out and picks that.
08:31Clutch that ball from the air.
08:34Was a hasty clearance.
08:36In the end having a bit of awkward landing.
08:39And seems to signal that might have pulled a muscle here.
08:43At least in some real discussion.
08:46Might need to communicate better as the counter-attack is on.
08:49And the cutback is in.
08:50The goalkeeper with a maculate save.
08:52Cutback equalizer.
08:54They kept pressing and propping.
08:59And once again.
09:00Bayezid.
09:01Unstuck here for Guinea.
09:03Wave after wave of attack.
09:06The cutback was good.
09:07The first attempt palmed away by the goalkeeper.
09:10The second attempt.
09:11The bite of the cherry.
09:13Not much that Mori Keita could do to keep that away from raffling the net.
09:18And it's back to where we started.
09:21Algeria won.
09:23Guinea won.
09:28Kacheff.
09:30As well as Miziani.
09:33Kacheff will fancy the shot.
09:35And the goalkeeper does just enough to tip that out here for a corner.
09:40Mori Keita.
09:41Borgera at the end of this game irrespective of how it.
09:46That's whipped in towards the middle.
09:50And the referee will finally blow the whistle to bring this one to a close.
09:58It ends just the way it started.
10:02And for Majid Borgera and his charges.
10:04Despite the fact that they were the ones that had to equalize and get back to this game.
10:11We'll see you later.
10:27We'll see you later.
10:34champ to check out.
