00:00the referee gets us underway it is Morocco in their traditional red and green taking on Mali
00:10in white we are underway in match day two in group A of this African government nation Morocco 2025
00:16and immediately Ousmane Kamara under a little bit of pressure
00:20through ball little pocket of space opening up potentially a free kick on the edge of the 18
00:31yard area to carve it over the over the wall here a little miscommunication maybe between the two
00:43slight disruption Diaz steps back will feed and goes high who play awesome to the midfield this
00:50is quite interesting what they're trying to do here a little battle on the far side Sinaoko wants it
00:57Koulibaly battling away Sinaoko still calling for it the release eventually comes it's Bissouma down
01:04he goes goal kick oh that's not what he would have liked and the offside flag raised as he
01:17went it's a little ball back towards Masraoui down the right flank into space Brian Diaz again outside
01:23of the boot back inside Morocco building up his chances of his square toward the back post after
01:29a little touch from Diara not put in but he would have been offside the flag eventually raised
01:33but creative and industrious Morocco looking dangerous here brilliance from Diaz he he he started
01:41he started to play the combination the combination with his teammate and look at this no player caution
01:48today Bissouma decent delivery Tiavi was there second chance balls and Ioko strikes it but it cannons
01:58Dupia again sitting deep yes Gassama through the legs looking to get away Dien creating space loose ball
02:08and smacked over Sangare running onto it a decent looking ball headed in his direction but can't keep
02:15up and down beautiful player beautiful combination the movements that they all had in there this is
02:22typical Mali is he onside delivery whipped in toward the back post the header was there loops up still
02:31not directed goal bound this one though is getting the body behind it Mali managed to see them all away
02:38yeah they are they are playing Diaz is creating the crosses are coming in but nobody's finishing cross
02:44coming in and their chance to finish is there but Sabari drives it wide five minutes to halftime he's been
02:51the man in the right areas but he just hasn't been able to hit the target Sabari well in as much as the
02:58Amalians are doing well in this game are competitive in this game by his Missouri cuts into a central
03:04position Brahim Diaz back inside Brunei Saladin delivery inviting and the header there to be had but
03:14Elkabi fails to deliver the clinical goal scorer can't hit the target once again nobody to connect just like
03:24we said earlier he's also a very intelligent player because he knows when to hold on I went to release
03:32the ball Diaz blows past customer comes back inside was there a handball in the build-up though as well
03:39it's out for the corner now what a player what a player ideas look at this the ball to stop the fall it
03:51is going to be checked however Unai sits on the ball and Mefrey runs over to the
03:57the question now is is that a natural position of the hand
04:02it doesn't look that way to me penalty
04:10just like expected the man that scored the opening goal of this tournament in this stadium five days ago
04:18Brian Diaz gives Morocco the lead in added time at the end of the opening half from the penalty mark
04:26successfully converts and joins Riyad Mahrez, Mohamed Salah, Nicolas Jackson and Ilyas Rashouri with two goals in the tournament
04:34but importantly for the home side who haven't conceded in ten internationals in succession they've got the lead
04:42and it's a mounted for Mali now
04:46and it's coming at the perfect time for Morocco just before the break
04:55offensively especially well we've only just got time to see the kickoff before the halftime whistle sounds
05:02well that's it you're listening to
05:20a man who understands this football like very few others great chance in from the set piece
05:26from the corner only the second corner of the game ball spilled second chance for so body gets a shot
05:35it deflects away but here's Brian Diaz comes back inside it too gets the shot away but now what you
05:41think of is really this is something unbelievable to go unbeaten in 20 games is special to win 20
05:49you can take it against it's unheard of oh there's a big foul a set piece in a very dangerous area again
05:58will the target man appear on this occasion there's El Yameek he can score goals from set pieces
06:03delivery in away by Bissouma Diaby gets away from two Diaby still going ricochets to
06:12Sinaoko if he can unleash there's a massive penalty appeal born who picks up the loose ball
06:19and Sinaoko screaming at the referee as Koulibaly appeals vehemently and voice going to be checked
06:28and the next stoppage I suspect too Dwayne because it's looking
06:35yeah
06:42tensions frustrations
06:55no this game doesn't need this
06:59signal finally coming from the referee and he's going to march over to the monitor
07:04and perhaps point to the penalty mark why would he go down in the box like this he has a teammate
07:10coming up to help him anywhere you see there was a teammate already already already nearby
07:19here comes the referee it's a massive moment
07:24penalty
07:25is he going to break with that loss
07:36it's in a local against Borno slips it under the absolutely brilliant goalkeeper and while the great
07:46penalty saver can't stop this one Mali have got themselves on level terms against the hosts
07:54they have done something rather remarkable in international football and that score against
07:59for Morocco in the last couple of years Borno concedes for the first time in 918 minutes of football
08:08going to go in the direction of Elbil Arture Morocco seeks something to take them back in front can't find it here
08:21yeah we're seeing uh in a lot more sports across the world head injury assessments are becoming uh far more common
08:34great chance here through ball and a shot powerfully taken by a necessary but
08:43dutifully denied by jiggy diara
08:46well after the spray after this inspector
08:51the first touch was very good unfortunately couldn't finish very well elhanous from the corner
08:56the first time
09:00whipped in curling away from goal javi with a big touch on that and
09:04notable difference sunday is we could hear one another which tells you just how much
09:09marley have hushed the crowd in the second half
09:13well i should say thank you for that because you just made me realize the very
09:18they are a side that has been blessed with talent over the years
09:21the great said uketa the only malian with 100 appearances or more for his country leading scorer as well
09:36whipped in back post and that's why

10:23pace whips it to the far side below
10:27toure couldn't find the finish and the flag goes up for offside
10:32i think it took too much time she loves the run ends at 19.
