00:00So despite the pressure on their coach, Esperance in a good place on the pitch.
00:10And it is the hosts who kick off.
00:13Atletico Petro looking to make it two straight wins in the CAF Champions League.
00:18Facing an Esperance side already under pressure after drawing a blank against Stade Malian last weekend.
00:24It's gone straight to Jonathan Toro who couldn't collect it.
00:30A few early nerves out there and they're in on goal here, Esperance, but the flag...
00:37Good work for Mbualia.
00:40Opportunity now for a cross to come in from Mohamed Ben Ali.
00:50And goes Alfonso, that's a good challenge.
00:54Mbualia, onside again.
01:00Completely miskicks his shot.
01:03Kusaila Mbualia broke the offside trap there.
01:09Here's Anderson Cruz.
01:11His cross is blocked but Ben Ali is there to...
01:14Good first touch from Gigaal but Gigaal was there and Gigaal gets the better of him.
01:24Forward come Atletico Petro and now Thiago Reis can stretch his legs and get forward.
01:30It's an important...
01:31Finally, the corner goes in and it's headed away.
01:42And it's been missed completely and now the counter might be on for Esperance.
01:47And that's a shirt pull surely there.
01:56Good work from Anderson Cruz.
01:58No free kick was given.
01:59Daniel gets it back.
02:02And that appeals for offside.
02:04Not given.
02:06Here's Mbualia.
02:07That's a decent pass but it's well cut out.
02:12Esperance still coming forward.
02:13In it goes and there's the header.
02:15And it's off the crossbar and cleared to safety.
02:18Daniel at the back post.
02:20It's really well worked.
02:21Lovely cross from Gigaal.
02:26And Daniel must have...
02:30Wualia.
02:38Good tackle from...
02:39Wualia.
02:41Good touch from him.
02:45Esperance.
02:46Done well here and they've got themselves a throw in in the end.
02:51That's nicely done.
02:54And off goes Daniel.
02:56He's in on goal.
02:57And it's a good save by Marquez.
03:00Got his angles right there.
03:02The 39-year-old keeper.
03:07Florian Daniel looks really sharp though.
03:09That's the second time he's gone close to opening the scoring here.
03:13It's got a great ball in and it's only just about been dealt with.
03:25Wualia tips it up the line but it's...
03:28Canate beaten to it.
03:33Thiago Rice lays the ball off for...
03:36Eddie Alfonso who's well forward.
03:41May have been a shot from Thiago Rice.
03:49Worked on by...
03:50Eddie Alfonso.
03:52Cleared by...
03:53Eddie Alfonso's header.
03:57Finds Jonathan Toro but...
04:00He's under too much pressure to...
04:04Well seen by Hossi.
04:06Gigal.
04:09Eddie Alfonso he's put in a good cross.
04:12The angle was against him but...
04:14It was an excellent ball in from...
04:16Eddie Alfonso picked out Antonio Hossi but...
04:20It's good work at the back.
04:24Well in midfield there from...
04:28Here's Gigal again.
04:29That's a good ball.
04:31Chance here for a cross for Eddie Alfonso.
04:34It's well defended at the back post by...
04:37Ogbele.
04:38Ogbele.
04:46Wallya.
04:48Couldn't get away from...
04:50Anderson Cruz.
04:55Slides it up the line for Toro.
04:58Gigal.
05:01There's an important touch in there from Ogbele.
05:05Antonio Hossi.
05:06Gigao needs to hold this ball up and doesn't.
05:11Ogbele takes it from him and then is fouled by Antonio Hossi.
05:15That'll be a free kick for Esperance.
05:18It looks as if...
05:20Eddie Alfonso.
05:23Gigao was put under pressure by Husem Cha.
05:26And he's got the ball off him.
05:27And Boalho is making a good run up in support on the right-hand side but...
05:32Well won.
05:34Well won.
05:35Gets there first ahead of...
05:36And there might be an opening here for Atletico Petro.
05:41He's played a cross for Thiago Reis and...
05:46Once more he doesn't get a clean connection, the Brazilian.
05:49The first a header off the crossbar.
05:51The second well saved by home goalkeeper, Hugo Marquez.
05:54So at the break in Luanda.
05:58Atletico Petro who have looked quite short on ideas so far.
06:02Esperance have had the better opportunities so far.
06:06As it stands both these teams staying unbeaten.
06:12Although it would be Atletico Petro who looks as if it will be taken short.
06:18In it goes now.
06:19Deep one which is headed away by Maria.
06:26Lofted forward by Toro.
06:28That's a complete miss kick by Maria but no...
06:31Launcher counter-attack until he was brought down.
06:34No free kick given though.
06:37And here's a chance for Reis and he scores!
06:40Well, early in the second half.
06:43Atletico Petro with their first shot on target take the lead.
06:47And it's Brazilian Thiago Reis who scored it.
06:53Esperance were appealing for a free kick.
06:58What they thought was a foul on...
07:00On Uche Ogbelu.
07:02But one pass and one shot later.
07:04The ball was in the back of their net.
07:06Courtesy of a fine finish from Thiago Reis.
07:09Goalkeeper Beshear Ben Said barely even moved.
07:16And the pressure...
07:17Mounts further on beleaguered Esperance coach Maja Canza.
07:23Long ball forward which...
07:29Is a decent one and Daniel will get onto it.
07:32Daniel strock tackle from Constantino Aderito.
07:35And cleared by Anderson Cruz.
07:40In goes the cross.
07:47Headed away at the back post by Antonio Hossi.
07:51Jalassi trying to get his team moving.
07:55Jibali.
07:57It's a really good ball in by Jibali.
08:00And it's a good save from Hugo Marquez.
08:03Who celebrates with a fist pump.
08:06That was an excellent chance for Esperance to draw level.
08:12Lofted in towards the back post by Ogbelu.
08:15Headed down by Jalassi.
08:17And the whistle has gone for a free kick.
08:22Jalassi not happy about something.
08:31Toro.
08:33Worked from the former Honduras midfielder.
08:35Benny now.
08:36Can he find space for a shot?
08:38Ogbelu goes in well.
08:39And there's a long range drive.
08:41Straight at Beshear Ben Said.
08:43And now Ben Ali gets it forward towards Jibali.
08:49Chance for Sheheb Jibali.
08:52And now Ben Ali.
08:53It's blocked.
08:57And in goes Illidio.
08:58That was good work from the 17 year old.
09:01Finds Thiago Rice.
09:02He's already scored from a similar position.
09:04This time he picks out Hossi.
09:06Who goes for goal.
09:07He had three men in the middle.
09:10And then gives the ball away.
09:11Pereira could see what he was trying to do.
09:14Trying to pick out.
09:15Beshear Ben Said.
09:16Thiago Rice's goal.
09:17Only the fourth he's conceded all season.
09:21He might have some more work to do here now.
09:22There's the volley.
09:24It was ambitious from Benny.
09:28Sliced it out for a throw in.
09:33Panate takes it short.
09:36Easily cleared of a near post by Thiago Rice.
09:38In goes Ogbele.
09:42Trying to break up play.
09:44And he's done exactly that.
09:52Benny just could never quite get the ball out from under his feet.
09:58That's a cynical foul.
10:00And that will surely be a yellow card.
10:03It is for Jorge Pereira.
10:09Ben Ali.
10:09That's a good ball forward.
10:12He's found the substitute.
10:13Jabri just behind Cagno.
10:16But there's the chance.
10:17And Cagno on the follow up.
10:20The whistle.
10:26Ben Ali.
10:27Tries to cross it in first time.
10:30Has to settle for the throw.
10:37Ben Hamida.
10:39Finds Danio.
10:40Danio.
10:41Tried to whip the ball across.
10:44There's neither really a shot or a cross from.
10:52Flurry of activity at either end.
10:53Benny goes for goal from range.
10:55Strikes it against Ogbele.
10:57Maria.
11:00Continue their search for an equaliser.
11:02Here's Ben Ali.
11:07Jabali's cross is headed away well by Hossi.
11:10And now Benny.
11:12Has got away from his man.
11:13But decides to turn back and just.
11:17Away goes Anderson Cruz.
11:19Finds Illidio.
11:22Can't get past Jalassi.
11:24And now.
11:28Lidio.
11:30And now.
11:31Pereira.
11:33Not too far wide.
11:34It looked as if.
11:36Ben Said had it covered.
11:38He was trying to.
11:39Add a second there.
11:43Had a lot of time.
11:45Try and find the corner.
11:55Benny.
11:56Starting to find more space.
11:57As this game goes on Benny.
12:00And he couldn't find the pass.
12:01But it's fallen kindly for Paciencia.
12:04Who's denied by.
12:06Beshir Ben Said.
12:07The first.
12:09Benny to take.
12:12Headed away.
12:13By Jabri.
12:14Qusay Mesha.
12:19Looks favorite to take this.
12:22It does set up well for a left footer.
12:25Mesha.
12:26It's a good strike.
12:27And I think Marquez tipped that over.
12:29over it's a good hit from the 18 year old 39 year old that was curling in I
12:37think gets it back and finds Antonio Hossi who works it on good turn of pace
12:44and now Atletico might be in for a second Hossi think he was offside and the flag
12:50has gone now it's gone up now to an important win his Diakite decent ball in
12:58headed away by Kenito Husem Ka Ben Ali instead the ball goes into the area Ben Hamida
13:12it's a good ball here's a chance for the equalizer and it's in and Esperance in
13:18the 89th minute may have just pinched a point through 18 year old substitute
13:24Abubakar Diakite it's an excellent header and the few traveling supporters
13:35finally have a goal to cheer Esperance aren't going to go three games without a
13:41goal thanks to teenage substitute Abubakar Diakite
13:51there's still some Ben Ali on the overlap headed away by Kenito suddenly Atletico
13:59Petro you think would be grateful for a point that was ambitious from Kusai Mersha
14:10sent forwards it's a good ball and it's the center half who's up there it's two of
14:14them actually Kenito blazes it over well that's probably the best chance that
14:21Atletico Petro have had all day didn't have the composure and the final whistle is gone
14:28Esperance salvaging we have to say is a deserved one all draw at Atletico Petro
14:39atletico Petro
