00:00the man that was brought in as one of the substitutes here to start this
00:27particular game willy willy character that he is the left winger some good defensive work from
00:40corner kick zambia committing quite a number of players into the box area
00:47set piece sores a willy place first time brush off header and a ball is intercepted back in
00:52again for another slice and that whistles away helplessly close quarters sandy have registered
01:01very very high good intention here you can see they want to get an ellie goal and they would
01:05definitely hope to to get that ellie goal that they're looking for the ball goes over the line
01:11that's a throw in good fetching pass there to pick up abdellakim abdallah tries to get the one two
01:17this time doesn't get the better of uh chipotle polo defense matthews banda behind the zambian defense
01:25so zambia will need to look out for those runs behind them a nice one to the near post and the
01:32ball is still alive shot comes in blocked away looks like it took a touch to the arm referee
01:37not interested so zambia now with a chance to launch a counter i'm not sure vr will have another look at
01:44that but that looked like it struck the arm of matthews banda and that's exactly what comoros
01:52seem to call for here we have another well a bit of a psychological edge in this game these two teams
01:58meeting for the very first time in the african cup of nations but comoros seems to have a bit of an edge
02:07here in the most recent meetings with zambia in the korsafa cup most recently managed to get uh two over
02:13them winning now they seek to advance out on the left flank this is some seamless play joining
02:19together some good passes owen tembo to the flank one touch football the delight of the fans in the
02:27arena continue to chant or lay with every pass but for the moment they'll have to fall back into a
02:33defensive button as comoros look to get forward nice pass slipped in looking for the cross
02:39it was searching well they'll definitely have to keep their wits around them
02:46the ball rolls out here that's a throw in
02:5210 minutes in and uh real attacking intent
02:57out to the flank once again abdel hakim abdallah little hasty there with the cross doesn't meet
03:07his mark and that's left to roll out
03:09i think they've been one of the most consistent african teams over the last five years oh this could
03:18be troublesome here very very lucky here from yanik pandor nearly giving away an opportunity to the
03:26copper bullets they're faced off with cameroon and as well faced off with ghana
03:32it's a long ball trying to keep that in good play from the goalkeeper willard mwanza
03:42gets his lines clear comoros showing a lot more aggression here
03:47and trying to fashion out chances going forward they have the ball the flag stays down twisting one
03:52way then the other teasing it up and the ball is well intercepted timely intervention that ultimately
03:59now the flag comes up saidi bakari picks up the ball once again good cross anticipated this could be a
04:09good opportunity skips one takes the shot one blocked rebound ball and that's over the bar
04:14well they're here definitely to stake claim for the opportunity to stay in the tournament
04:21and it's no standing on occasion comoros looking to land early heavy punches
04:29has two players an option out on the right and takes it comoros fashioning out opportunities don't
04:37seem to be in quite a hurry there's an urgency about them that is pretty structured it's swift but not
04:44desperate on the pick up lamek panda takes on two players here has options he has the speed and the
04:53skill up to to transfer and that plays for mkana et scene zambia we'll go for the long throw that's
05:03straight to the hands of yannick mark ahmed panda yeah a tool that's being successfully used by some of the
05:11very best teams in world football yeah and zambia look to take advantage but for the moment they are
05:17a man shot as his hand attack into the box fashioning out the cat back and they walk that into the back
05:23of the net comoros strike first and the warning was right there in front of them zambia not hitting and now
05:33pay the price comoros taking the lead well that's as easy a goal as he'll ever have to score in his
05:42career goalkeeper gone walk us about a precise and devastating cut back and it was as simple as a
05:50tap to the back of the net zambia nil comoros one yeah uh like we have been saying the whole time i think
05:56comoros are just playing it around trying to bring zambia out of their positions and it has finally
06:02paid off for for the comoros there some very good play from them some very good work down the line
06:08there from uh from rafiki saeed they're playing it taking his man on and just going straight into the
06:15box there and he gets that some very good skill from there if you just see them what it and now zambia
06:20will have to fight hard to get back into this game that looks like it was a foul then the reference
06:27went to have a look at it well that's interesting there'll be a check from the var to be very
06:34unfortunate for comoros that the goal is probably going to be rude off our route but that was that
06:38was a that was a foul oh when tembo is left on the ground reeling we did talk about that in the build
06:44up to the goal that they were down a man play continued
06:47well speculation will come to a quick close the referees back onto the field of play his decision
06:56it won't count well temperatures have dropped another two degrees centigrade i know i can tell
07:06but it looks like it's hitting up farther on the pitch 23 minutes of play nail nail
07:10big in 1998 a game that they won 3-1 and against south africa in 2006 again they also won by one
07:21nail so definitely know how to deal getting it on to king's kangua it's supposed to be one of uh
07:29the creative outlets here but he's equally been starved of possession yeah as once again comoros
07:34hold forts tight and now look to launch a quick release forward this time dominic chander very wise
07:40to their ways one of those young players from the zamian premier league playing for one of the biggest
07:46clubs in the country in kana and he has done very very what was to asset himself well a shot from
07:52distance that was pretty speculative saw the opportunity opted to take it i haven't seen a lot from him as well that is
07:59yourself yeah a quick smile in here good in touch and of play there between changama and
08:09was yanni my leader they have been very very good in this first time uh he's uh the 35 year old central
08:16midfielder yeah now with the african cup of nations uh shifting to 2027 big questions on whether he will be
08:26present again should comoros manage to qualify they are very aware of what he can do so they won't give
08:32him any space to to operate crosses in oh that needed a little more guile behind it was just too bland and
08:41too easy to pick up there for the defense well decides to fool everybody and uh take another direction
08:49gets the ball back chance for a cross whipped in doesn't clear the first line of defense good defensive
08:55header away and a back pass that could invite the poacher launching a cannon of a throw into the 18-yard
09:02box it's affirmatively cleared away but an opportunity fashioned out here oh that was troubling kings kangwa
09:11trying to make something out of nothing here yeah well that's going to be an encouraging sign here
09:19a very good player from from zambia or zambia now getting themselves another opportunity cut back ball
09:26taken away lamek bonda takes the short ball blocked away and scum put clear well dads also have rafiki
09:33saeed ahmada as a possibility
09:39yusuf takes the strike and uh swayward yes couldn't wrap his foot around the ball well enough
09:48yeah not the best of uh set pieces from him there i'm trying to think of what he was trying to
09:53actually do there i don't think he was very excited oh you can see he was trying to comoros have been on
09:58them as thick as thieves sticking to them like a shadow once again looking to attack abdallah with the
10:06cross still danger in the box area that ball could land anywhere but ultimately on the left fashion junior
10:15sakala hasn't had as much positive impact as his coach would desire it's a feeble attempt at a cross
10:23this game this half so far moses muape
10:27situation did remark at how good comoros has a team and his team could find out here first hand
10:34speaking about the fact that they were facing off with the team
10:37ball finally finds its way to the flank for fashion junior sakala interesting uh switch of flanks
10:43junior sakala is finding himself now on the right and that means la mcbanda will take the left flank
10:54crossing for patson daca
10:56the moros look like they and there's a run but that was spotted let throwing back is that going to
11:03count as an offside it's the big question here twisting one way then the other the shot coming in from kings
11:10oh the chipolo polo
11:15could be the final bit of action in the first half the ball is whipped into the near post and that's
11:19easily avoided from danger steady pressure from owen tembo paying off
11:27but that will be all that she writes for the first 45 minutes an open battle was promised
11:35that's uh end up the first 45 minutes we don't have gold but that doesn't mean we didn't have a mode
11:42but this is as well that they did not use very well and we expect to see better from both teams in
11:50the second half fix whatever was bothering in the first half and try to to get more in control of this
11:57game that was a risky pass there from dominic chander that ball is avatted heading out here for a throw in
12:04comoros fashion junior sakala played back kings plays that all the way here to musonda tries to
12:16fashion out across doesn't happen now that's risky playing that way in your own box area but it also
12:21takes confidence to get away with it from yassin bohan then finding amada there but just couldn't find
12:28the touch that he was looking for some good defensive work from benson sakala sairi bakari with the cross
12:34ball is averted from its trajectory quite the task there's a free kick here interesting choice of
12:41the nickname by the way we'll get to that in just a bit as the ball is averted here the shot comes
12:47speculative off target will carry a lot of uniqueness around them and now they do try to blend a bit of
12:55that unique approach to the game pesi with a cross towards the box area aggressive and trying to get
13:01stuck in there against this commerce and they'll need to do that because commerce was very aggressive
13:05and dominated the first half ensemble want to do this in the second half crossing ball avatted
13:18i'm not a very good touch i think that's something that uh kennedy moene made want to have a conversation
13:23with him about his first touch constantly reeks of havoc pending and now there's uh hefty coming
13:31together the referee brandishing the first yellow card of the game yeah the poor touch from dominic
13:39chander just gets himself in trouble and ends himself a yellow cut quite early in the second half and you
13:45now have to play very cautiously to avoid being sent off but to say about will at once as there's
13:52this strong belief in football that substitutes can always win you a game and that is what he's going
13:57to be hoping for in this game as well well every substitute of that bench hopes that at the end of
14:02the day the headlines will add the word impact to their name when they do come on most definitely
14:08great losses and no clean sheets whichever way you look at it it's a very vastly different side from
14:16what the stats and the tail of the tip tell well they have possession here something out of that
14:20kings kangawa on the attack lubambo silas musonda loses possession and that hands the initiative once
14:28again to komaro solo to get themselves forward yeah i can see the game is just now opening up a little bit
14:33and both teams are finding their spaces and an opportunity here for junior tries to turn one
14:40way then the other fashion unable to fashion out the space he needed gets the ball up to the flank
14:47trying to get rafiki saeed ahma down to the ball
14:52at the moment an interesting turnaround rafiki deploying more on the flank man that is brought on um known for
15:01some very snap tackling and also an excellent game reader tends to close down the spaces fashions himself
15:08more out in uh the makelele role you don't see him a lot you only feel his impact on the pitch yeah
15:15that type of players sometimes need in the team the code and sang heroes he's there but he's not there
15:22but he is doing the work you know so yeah well that's a player that was a bit of uh hit and hop from
15:30lamek band the animal leader wants the return ball it just doesn't come to him picked up here by rafiki
15:36saeed out onto the flank could be an opportunity to fashion out a cross that's quickly closed down
15:41corner kick if it stays this way get the feeling that uh as the clock ticks closer to home chance here
15:50for a shot but that's quickly blocked it might come down to one solitary opportunity and just one goal
15:55could decide this clash yeah that fortunate part about football sometimes you know after copper
16:01bullets are about to reinforce the artillery on the beach with the two more players to come on but that
16:07will have to wait as for the moment comoros are on the attack the decibels going a little higher in
16:14this stadium that is used to waves of sound like no other especially when you have the home teams playing
16:19but on the attack here comes a chance a pressure from the head well just upset uh they're not leaving
16:26any man running free and they just trying to force that man to making mistakes oh that was a skillful
16:31layoff there from lubambo musonda silas as the cross is bent in who arriving in drops here finds lubambo musonda
16:39silas lamek panda takes on his man looks to beat him quick crossing ooh makes the head of pats on daka not
16:49a prime position shot snapped in but uh snuff all the way here by the defense zambia still with possession
16:58junior fashion sakala looks for the one to his own side cuts it oh that ricked of desperation
17:05yeah it's a good player from the zambia team drop just didn't lay off well enough for him as owen
17:12tembo ventures forward actually that is uh joseph banda it's a very similar outlook to owen tembo could
17:20easily confuse the two from a distance yeah yeah you see the temp the temp was just dropped a little
17:26bit after the deceptions have been made who across there from remember sonda trying to yeah considering
17:34how uh the rest of the table stands yeah you might want to hold our horses uh with the quick
17:41calculations here zambia look to attack that ball hit wayward joseph banda three points king's gangwa
17:51now to owen tembo goes searching for matthews banda who will uh hoist across into the 18th box
18:00it's just space on the outside here for the standing captain lubambo silas musunda
18:06getting it forward here sampopo tries to cross the ball in that's instantly thwarted away here but
18:11the mohammed the fifth stadium in casablanca or as it's better known by many of the locals
18:20the daughter stadium also has a very interesting story behind why it's called that ball hacked clear
18:26mohammed the fifth stadium home of and he retrieves possession here for comoros who will look to get
18:33onto the front foot once again salamani on the attack started the first match against
18:42morocco now comes on as a substitute
18:47switching flanks and there he is remy vita onto the ball instantly teased back into the center of the park the
18:54skipper launches a long ball into the box area oh that's just tipped over close so so close but not
19:04quite yeah some very well good play from the captain there which angana puts in a very good ball but some
19:13poor goalkeeping that because he is the tallest man in this box in that in that area and he has the
19:18advantage over everywhere but he just mischarges the ball there because if the striker is going to get the
19:23ball in that position and the goalkeeping to comoros yeah selecanter's doing very very well yeah that
19:29final pass from the chipotle polo boys has just been meeting missing from their play well a chance for
19:35a cross fashion dean a little too high here to meet the head of uh the oncoming kennedy mosunda and there's
19:44another warning bell they are beginning to toll here for comoros they need to take care one that will have
19:49both these teams quickly stripping and uh switching up and settling down to watch the next installment
19:54of the african cup of nations it's a game that has a lot to do with uh what happens to their fate
20:00that is a former african champion
20:05oh tricky tricky tricky affair that it's been so far as the ball is crossed in could be an opportunity
20:10that no one was lacking at the near post here for silicanthus constantly finding himself with his
20:18back to the goal it's a position no striker wants to be in as another cross is bent in nobody there
20:25first time shot attempted the bambo silas musonda well just of the referee last chance saloon
20:37or as the zambians will hope opportunity patsundaka scored in the 92nd minute an opportunity here for
20:45zambia baited breath all around the stadium for what kudo card next whips in the cross was the far post
20:53and the defense stands resolute the attack that ball as i do put that out here for a corner
21:00zambia haven't had many in the second half actually the ball is whipped in and the ball is uh hacked
21:07clear banda another cross for the first and pound away by the goalkeeper unfortunately we have just
21:14not seen any goals in this this game very disappointing draw at the end of it
21:17and that's the final whistle and 90 minutes have come and gone by here in casablanca
21:26and there'll be no ripples in the net to confirm that they have been goals here
