00:00I suppose that's part of why they've got such a quality out here and of course the
00:05technology has advanced that much that these artificial surfaces are of a much
00:09superior quality
00:14and away we go it's match number 11 at the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco
00:212025 the defending champions Cote d'Ivoire against Mozambique
00:27the rallying called the Alele's Elephant and the famous Oshmambas
00:33I found Mozambique as a meet
00:43in comes the corner
00:49Boudivouire clear their lines and look to break out in attack now
00:56Zaha
00:59Viva looking for the cutback

01:50he's done well
01:51he's done well
01:55with a dangerous looking ball in
01:56miscued by
01:57Joe Mond
01:59at the back post there
02:00much better
02:02from Cote d'Ivoire
02:03he knows he should have done a lot better but they did so well here Cote d'Ivoire
02:06yes they did very well
02:08with a beautiful cross
02:09the Armando unfortunately did get the ball well
02:11but it was a teasing ball that if the Cote d'Ivoire were not effective
02:14you should have scored
02:15grace here from the goalkeeper
02:16not to risk anything
02:17when a corner
02:19Jalu
02:20hearing Ahmet on the back of his shirt
02:24decent looking ball in quality
02:28still alive
02:31good word to win it back though
02:33of the box
02:36he's done well
02:37he's done well
02:38he's done well
02:39he's done well
02:40he's done well
02:41he's done well
02:42he's done well
02:43he's done well
02:44he's done well
02:45in the back of his box
02:49this moment by Saha
02:50is going for this
02:52easy score
03:01short one taken this time
03:03Ahmad
03:07living dangerously
03:08Mozambique
03:09allow him to shoot
03:10from the tapper range
03:11half an hour in though
03:13still
03:14we await the first
03:19first meeting between these two sides was actually in the opening match of the
03:2386 nations cup would be a chance yeah oh he's put it wide what a chance that was
03:32for Chris Ghislan Conan it opened up in front of him excellent work from Ahmad
03:40just wide of that left hand upright he would have been stranded would
03:46Ernan no way near it
03:51he's yet to score in his 46 previous appearances for country here he goes again this time the
04:01referee has seen enough and that will be the look to take his man on again it's done well
04:08he throws one to the back poster
04:14challenge there oh I think he may have done oh the keeper recovers well initially just parried it
04:20back straight into play and recovered well to make the save but in the mark but they might
04:25have a problem here Mozambique because Jenny is down after going in for the tackle
04:34on Kusunu slips through his hands there and got lucky
04:40that's why I guess you should rather in these conditions punch the ball away Badu yes he did
04:48it series lines to Mozambique through Twitty and that is it for the first 45 minutes
04:57uh I think uh Mozambique was certainly delighted with their efforts they had to be on the back foot for
05:03the midst of most of that first half but so we are all ready thank you for joining us on being sports
05:12the last win was against Somalia the one before that was against fellow southern african side Botswana
05:30do it floating one into the box it could fall here and a great chance and it's the opener
05:42Ahmad gets the defending champions up and running
05:46that's it his third for his country it's a breakthrough they've been waiting for
06:00and a roar erupts around this the grand start the marrakech
06:06well worked and just defensively letting themselves down there Mozambique not competing
06:12for the second ball what can we say about this great ball from dwell inside the box to francis
06:18it's always in the box flick the ball back the defenders were watching Ahmed beautifully used his
06:24right foot to place the ball absolutely brilliant goal the goalkeeper cannot do anything about it great
06:29goal great player a lot of ball watching there in defense from Mozambique and Hernan nothing he could
06:37do about that cut inside and miss cue from do it but it might still fall yeah hanging into the back post oh
06:47wide from Kessier
06:52Frank Kessier unable to direct that cross goal it's great work from Conan he's done excellent work down this
07:02left hand side yes great great work from Conan sing and Instagram and obviously who again Frank Kessier
07:09an injection of some fresh legs said to Mozambique I fancy they've done a lot of
07:14chasing in this game here it goes again Conan who can he pick out this time comes to sir a great block from Bruno
07:23I might take them on this ball played in their way slipped in and a chance
07:36the flag had stayed down the flag had stayed down it's another real chance there
07:41another real chance but who again Frank Kessier again we'll get the ball a great touch one touch from
07:56a dump by Sangara Frank Kessier nearly missed the ball I think it got injured eh and body oh oh my goodness
08:06uh it looked like uh take a look at it from this angle it's
08:19Dominguez just floated into once the back posted not a bad looking sort of ball
08:26level two up all the way up to under 19 the first opt-in to play for Cote d'Ivoire in 2017.
08:38Dangerous looking ball keeper would have been stranded there um bio
08:45only finding the target part of it in his fourth international ball clever little chip there from
08:52Kessier who has again Kessier has been very instrumental in the second half the great
08:57world to bio he should have scored this it was a great chance by taking body especially when you're
09:02a neutral you have to have it be really committed to the game and under such conditions to make your
09:08way to the stadium so credit to all those neutrals that have come out genie combining with uh Kalila a
09:15rare overlapping run from Kalila in the second half
09:18Kalila jenny now coming alive again jenny still jenny great runs
09:38what's there a foul in the box there and they put me problems here chance to wrap it up here for
09:45the ball and uh oh my word how did they not score there fabulous defensive work scrambling defense
09:58by the members here but really bio was in on gold but i think dominguez is asking the question about
10:08what happened at the other end there there's a challenge on the mesh for you by absolutely nothing
10:15that was so soft it went down easily i i don't absolutely don't know what frank kessler wanted
10:20to do i don't know if he wanted to give a flick back pass to for for now or he wanted to dribble the
10:26goalkeeper by domino mozambique is into the last 30 seconds now space opening up here for jenny still jenny
10:36still jenny oh no no real power behind the shot what the player is he's very good one for one he's not
10:46afraid and he knows when he always in the box he's like a king he played looking like there to extend
10:54the proud record in the proud record in opening matches and there you go
10:58as the crowd erupts
