00:14Benin gets us underway and it is Benin in the yellow that get us offers the zebras of Botswana
00:22are in the sky blue with the black march on
00:26the strategy here should be pretty clear, hit hard, hit fast, strike early
00:33yes definitely, I can see Benin have gone in with the big boys up front there
00:38they will definitely be hoping that they can get an early lead in this game
00:42to just settle their nails but Botswana are always a team that fights
00:45and they will be hoping that they can hold on and just try and find that winner as well
00:49but the battle will definitely be in the midfield there
00:53where Benin have their captain Tosin, he's a very very busy guy, very very intelligent
00:58always moving around and he will be very crucial for his team
01:02straight off the onset
01:07looking to control the ebb and flow in that midfield
01:12and keep the grind going
01:14for Benin expect them to try and dominate or boss this game right from the onset
01:22what are their games I want so they want to pack up that midfield
01:25to dominate the midfield and try and open up the other
01:28pretty windy conditions out in here the long ball is floated up front looking for Mooney
01:33he makes the cut back this is an opportunity he strikes gold
01:38have to wait a little longer before they can get to celebrations galore
01:42another look at that line
01:44oh it nearly looked like they had got in the opening they were looking
01:48it's not an easy level and it's always those that fight hard that go on to claim victory
01:54but you can see Botswana look a little bit nervous
01:56you know knowing in the back of their head this tournament
01:58I don't remember the last time they even scored a goal in this tournament
02:01so they want to do a little bit if they're going to get anything out of this game
02:05Benin showing some experience over Botswana
02:09but they will need to make that experience count otherwise a draw for them
02:13might not be good enough to take them to the next round the first sure of intent
02:20after the earlier incident that had an offside flag flanking the goal down and
02:25now it looks like the referee Shamira Navada might be called into action
02:32oh the cheaters of Botswana mobbing her only a yellow card flushed but that oh that
02:40was nasty absolutely nasty very very nasty that could actually get him sent off
02:44if he's not careful I think it was just two of Azilias to try and win the ball
02:48Cabello Seakanieng who actually plays right within this short for MassFest in in the
03:03Moroccan bottle up so far had a long searching ball out onto the left tempo
03:16slowing down just a bit but now Benin turning it in took an almighty deflection and
03:23Roche strikes gold this time in the yellow of the Morocco Sun dropped in gold and now
03:32they chair with a chance they've taken the lead to the back of the net there but
03:38some very very good play from Roche there he kept running he kept going
03:42forward he kept believing I could find the back of the net and he puts his team
03:46in the lead and some very good play from his captain as well Steve Moni holds up
03:51the play very well lays it in his path there and unfortunately for Botswana deflection
03:56that the goalkeeper could do nothing about but still it is a goal for Benin give him
04:02them a go in this tournament and hopefully they can hold on to the lead and get some
04:07points after such a long time 15 games hopefully they can get some points out
04:12of it lady luck get behind their team and raise a few decibels into the sound in
04:18this stadium free kick well struck that hit the upright oh it doesn't get any
04:25closer than that was traveling hit the upright lucky lucky lucky Botswana Benin unlucky Botswana
04:35I'm not sure the goalkeeper would have gotten to it he was completely beaten there and that
04:41I think managed to start the first game but he's available for selection in this one and making it
04:49count and there's a bit of a coming together and the referee has run out of patience now and it's to
04:55the book for the book for the tether reaches into her pocket and brandishes a yellow card for the
05:01Gabaron United player Leobogang didsele yeah that was just a little bit too aggressive from him there
05:09trying to get his team out of trouble but just creates more trouble from that's a timely recovery
05:16in possession by Botswana the agency to get the ball forward appeals for a handball the referee rightly
05:25calls for it so free kick to Benin Chukudu hasn't had the showing that he would have wanted normally
05:33supposed to be an impact player was the only change that was made as Cooper dropped out of the starting
05:39lineup but it hasn't shown for him it's instead shown very much so for Johan Roche one goal it's been as
05:48there'll be protests of innocence and ladies and Jets we're about to begin the second half here at
05:59VN Sports it's gonna be banned in one Botswana NL enjoy the second half
06:09that gives his team as early an advantage into the second half as possible second half gets underway
06:17Benin comfortably leading with that solitary goal that was struck by Johan Roche yeah not very sure
06:29about the substitution over one or one year he looked one of the best players for Botswana in the first
06:34happened the attack still eminent right at the edge can they find the right slot and it's in here open
06:42dab cut back is good twist and a turn set up for the short comes pile driver goalkeeper managers to
06:49avoid that excellent reflection never going to hit the target just another chance there we get to look
06:56at that and that was the brilliant turn from Doku and then the shot that came in already racing away to
07:02go and celebrate yeah when he was in the right place there but I just couldn't get to get his foot onto the
07:10border turns one way and that finds Roche who's marauding out outside that was a brilliant cross there
07:17the header missing the danger not yet passed another deflection and this time the goalkeeper was wrong
07:23footed but just recovered in time just step the ball but that was a good defensive touch from from the
07:30defender of Botswana there to just get the ball out of danger oh wow what a save right right right
07:38place right moment oh the boss just missed the the cross there but very very good goalkeeping there
07:46and again from Poco there he washed the ball all the way and just saved that made a very good save very
07:54good reflex from him to save that ball well something must be said about the right back here Timimo
08:01Auro that's his second shot in this game had the first one into this game and take the initiative
08:07trying to fashion out a chance going for Cabello
08:14you can go back and the riveting shot it was didn't look like it was on target but in the end Cooper
08:24had that really troubling good strike of the ball just the ball kept rising in step away now there could
08:33be a counter-attack that's on tips and ball for trying to get his way forward a local is uh quickly
08:40outsmarted here his more experienced uh opponent Malapi it's a foul free kick get that catch was looking
08:49for to beat his man there and some very very lucky defending from the botanist everything they can at
08:56been in to just at least try and get a point out of out of this match
09:03the attack chance here looking for the one two and the short is over the bar that breaks the
09:10camels back that was too close for comfort once again looking to fashion out the opportunity
09:17Doku we just spoke about him seconds earlier he's been a real life warrior here
09:28on the attack once again Benin switching lanes stepping away from one but shows too much of
09:33that ball going forward and that's a foul switching lanes was brilliant and i think it was the intent to
09:40chest that ball there play the ball a little too much forward yeah they just over on the border but
09:46something the sinking feeling is settling in here for the zebras they realize it's almost done and dusted
09:55take the word almost out of the equation and the word that is the key word for the night is
10:03what that's important to mean to win to defeat or to overcome and that's exactly what they've managed
10:12to pull off here Benin 15 matches they've had to wait and finally it has come to a release for them
10:20the final whistle in rabat a release for the cheaters single strike from that man roche breaks the silence
10:26breaks the run and also broke Botswana's resistance Benin now stepped forward with belief restored and
10:33the night is leaning their way from the stadium olympic annex this chapter tonight belongs to the cheaters
