00:28number of players into the box area set piece sores a willy place first time brush off header
00:34and a ball is intercepted back in again for another slice and that whistles away harmlessly
00:41and you can see corners are trying to keep on to the opposition just to draw something out
00:45and trying to play that ball behind behind the zambian defense so zambia will need to
00:49look out for those runs behind them nice on to the near post and the ball is still alive
00:56shot comes in blocked away looks like it took a touch to the arm referee not interested so zambia
01:02now with a chance to launch a counter i'm not sure vair will have another look at that but that looked
01:08like it struck the arm of matthews banda and that's exactly what comoros seem to call for here we have
01:17another well a bit of a psychological edge in this game these two teams meeting for the very first time
01:22in the african cup of nations but comoros seems to have a bit of an edge here in the most recent
01:31meetings with zambia in the korsafa cup most recently managed to get uh two over them winning
01:38i think they've been one of the most consistent african teams over the last five years oh this
01:42could be troublesome here very very lucky here from yanik pandor nearly giving away an opportunity to
01:50the copper bullets saidi bakari picks up the ball once again good cross anticipated this could be a
02:00good opportunity skips one takes the shot one blocked rebound ball and that's over the bar
02:05you can just see from there they're very confident that they're not afraid to check on their
02:15their development defenders and examine defense needs to press them a little bit quicker because
02:20kana etsy in zambia we'll go for the long throw that's uh straight to the hands of yanik mark ahmed panda
02:29yeah a tool that's being successfully used by some of the very best teams in world football
02:36yeah and zambia look to take advantage but for the moment they are a man shot as is an attack into the
02:42box fashioning out the cat back and they walk that into the back of the net comoros strike fast and the
02:50warning was right there in front of them zambia not hitting and now pay the price
02:58comoros taking the lead well that's as easy a goal as he'll ever have to score in his career
03:06goalkeeper gone walk us about a precise and devastating cut back and it was as simple as a
03:13tap to the back of the net zambia nil comoros one yeah like we have been saying the whole time i think
03:20commerce have just played it around trying to bring something out of their positions and it has finally
03:26paid off for for the commerce there some very good play from them some very good work down the line
03:31there from uh from rafiki saeed there playing it taking his man on and just going straight into the
03:38box there and he guessed that some very good skill from there if you just see them what it and now
03:43zambia will have to fight hard to get back into this game that looks like it was a father and the
03:49referee is going to have a look at it well that's interesting there'll be a check from the var to be
03:56very unfortunate for commerce that the goal is probably going to be rude off our route but that
04:01was that was a that was a foul oh when tembo is left on the ground reeling we need to talk about that
04:07in the build up to the goal that they were down a man play continued while speculation will come to a
04:13quick close the referee is back onto the field of play his decision it won't count one of those young
04:23players from the zambian premier league playing for one of the biggest clubs in the country in kana
04:27and he has done very very what was to asset himself well a shot from distance that was pretty speculative
04:34so the opportunity opted to take it i haven't seen a lot from him as well that is yourself
04:43yeah a quick smile in here good in touch and of play there between changama and
04:49was yani my leader they have been very very good in this first time launching a cannon of a throw
04:56into the 18-yard box it's affirmatively cleared away but an opportunity fashioned out here
05:02oh that was troubling kings kangwa could be the final bit of action in the first half the ball
05:09is whipped into the near post and that's easily avated from danger a steady pressure from owen tembo
05:16paying off but that will be all that she writes for the first 45 minutes an open battle was promised
05:27that's uh end up the first 45 minutes we
05:35produce as well that they did not use very well and we expect to see better from both teams in the
05:39second half fashion junior sakala played back kings plays that all the way here to musunda
05:51tries to fashion out across doesn't happen now that's risky playing that way in your own box area
05:56but it also takes confidence to get away with it quite the task because there's a free kick here
06:02interesting choice of the nickname by the way we'll get to that in just a bit as the ball is avated here
06:07the shot comes speculative off target aggressive and trying to get stuck in there against this commerce
06:13said they'll need to do that because commerce was very aggressive and dominated the first half and
06:17zander wanted to do this in the second half crossing as there's this strong belief in football that
06:24substitutes can always win you a game and that is what he's going to be hoping for in this game as well
06:29well every substitute of that bench hopes that at the end of the day the headlines will add the word
06:34impact to their name when they do come on most definitely straight losses and no clean sheets
06:41whichever way you look at it it's a very vastly different side from what the stats and the tail
06:46of the tip tell well they have possession here yeah you can see the game is just now opening up a
06:51little bit and team both teams are finding their spaces and well opportunity here for junior tries
06:58to turn one way then the other fashion and able to fashion out the space he needed man that is brought
07:04on um known for some very snap tackling and also an excellent game reader tends to close down the spaces
07:12fashions himself more out in uh the makelele role you don't see him a lot you only feel his impact on
07:18the pitch and trying to rip those balls into their box if it stays this way get the feeling that uh as
07:27the clock ticks closer to home chance here for a shot but that's quickly blocked it might come down
07:33to one solitary opportunity and just one goal could decide this clash yeah the unfortunate part about
07:39football sometimes you know copper bullets are about to reinforce the artillery on the pitch with
07:45the two more players to come on but that will have to wait as for the moment comorosa on the attack
07:50the decibels going a little higher in this stadium that is used to waves of sound like no other
07:57especially when you have the home teams playing but on the attack here comes a chance a pressure from
08:02the head well just upset uh they're not leaving any man running free and they just trying to force
08:09that man to making mistakes oh that was a skillful layoff there from lubambo musonda silas as the cross is
08:14bent in arriving in drops here finds lubambo musonda silas
08:22lamek panda takes on his man looks to beat him quick crossing oh it's the head of bats on daca not a prime
08:30position shot snapped in but uh snuffled away here by the defense zambia still with possession
08:36in junior fashion sakala looks for the one two he's on side cuts in oh that rigged of
08:44desperation yeah it's a good player from the zambia team there but a poor decision from the captain
08:51fashion soccer that he should have whipped it back yeah you see the temp the tempo has just dropped a
08:56little bit after the deceptions have been made
08:58four across there from lubambo musonda trying to to owen tembo goes searching for matthews banda who
09:09will uh hoist across into the 18th box there's just space on the outside here for the standing
09:15captain lubambo silas musonda getting it forward here sampopo tries to cross the ball in
09:21switching flanks and there he is remy vita onto the ball instantly teased back into the center of the
09:29park the skipper launches a long ball into the box area oh that's just tipped over close so so close
09:39but not quite yeah some very well a good play from the captain there which angana puts in a very good
09:48ball but some poor goalkeeping that because he is the tallest man in this box in that in that area
09:53and he has the advantage over everywhere but he just mischarges the ball there because if the striker
09:57is going to get the ball in that position and the goalkeeping one that will have both these teams
10:02quickly stripping and uh switching up and settling down towards the next installment of the african cup of
10:08nations it's a game that has a lot to do with uh what happens to their fate constantly finding himself with
10:16his back to the goal it's a position no striker wants to be in as another cross is bent in nobody there
10:23first time shot attempted lubambo an opportunity here for zambia baited breath all around the stadium
10:33for what kudo card next whips in the cross was the far post and the defense stands resolute the attack that
10:41ball they do put that out here for a corner zambia haven't had many in the second half actually the
10:49ball is whipped in and the ball is uh hacked clear banda another cross for the first and pound away by the
10:56goalkeeper unfortunately we're just not seeing any goals in this this game very disappointing draw at the
11:01end of it and that's the final whistle and 90 minutes have come and gone by here in casablanca
11:10and there'll be no ripples in the net to confirm that they have been goals here
