00:00New Salon, let's go! It's match day two at the Total Energies, Africa Cup of Nations Group F,
00:12La Cote d'Ivoire, the defending champions up against the indomitable Lions of Cameroon.
00:18A team with a proud history in this competition, five-time winners.
00:23And this should be an intense battle, as intense as they come.
00:31There's been plenty of rain throughout the day here in Marrakesh,
00:35but in the last two or three hours, the rain has abated and stayed away
00:40and given way to this biting cold.
00:44But the players won't feel it. Those in the stands will certainly not be feeling it.
00:49They're in full volume.
00:53And here's a man that you keep an eye out for, Ghislaine Conant.
01:03By the way, happy birthday to Ghislaine Conant.
01:06Celebrates his 28th birthday today.
01:11There's the Gilles Vicente fullback.
01:14On the occasion when he also makes his 48th appearance for his country.
01:23Samuel Eto'o is the president of Fekafoot.
01:27Fekafoot, which has had his fair share of drama in recent years.
01:31They come into this tournament with a coach only appointed at the start of December.
01:36Fekafoot, as playing in his first half-con, was involved in the qualifiers.
01:48As the ball comes in.
01:54Fekafoot, in his second half-con, a big pardon.
01:56This is a cutback and a chance here for Ahmad.
02:02Unmarked.
02:03He will feel he should have done better.
02:05Grandpa from Domandi, a cutback.
02:07And Ahmad is always at the right place.
02:09This is a group B clash.
02:16Of course, the way things stand in group B at the moment.
02:21On group F, at the moment, we have four or three teams who are on three points.
02:29But as things stand, it's a potential point for these two.
02:33So, if it were to end this way, it would leave them level on four points apiece.
02:42With the same number of goals scored, same number of goals conceded, which is zero.
02:47That's a dangerous looking ball to the back post.
02:50And Darlene Yongwa should have done better.
02:54Badu, I think he should have done better.
02:56That was a beautiful ball from the right back.
02:59He got the ball well, but unfortunately, he couldn't get the target very well.
03:02Great effort.
03:03And to be fair, the angle was tight.
03:06And you went with the instep there rather than...
03:09Here they come now, again, Cote d'Ivoire, Ahmad.
03:18Tease it up for Frank Kessier, who was leaning back.
03:22He's wrapped up warm.
03:26Kessier, leaning back there.
03:29Kopsunu, the big man, the big centre-back.
03:32Kopsunu, the big man, the big man, the Region BronD
03:33Grimo is fouled.
03:41Not a call that the Ivorist supporters agree with.
03:47most recent meeting between these two sides at an afghan was uh in the 2015 tournament
04:00when scotibar won one nil in a final group match a result that eliminated cameroon
04:08as uh i've got to go i went on to win the second after the cup of nations title and we have
04:17our first yellow card of the game it's been coming and this time that i don't think you
04:24can argue with that absolutely you can't two tournaments
04:30he also defeated them by the way in a group match in 1984 when they won the total on
04:41that occasion as well
04:42throw in
04:49this is going to be like a game of chess here badu as these two sides look to unlock
05:07each other 20 minutes gone the grandstand de marrakech as in rumo looks to that's a decent
05:16ball in oh wow off the upright another it's new who keeps it keeps his man at bay
05:32the two manchester united teammates brandon bruma and uh amadialo i mean who is going
05:47to get a bragging rights today yeah christian for fun of by level cruising yellow card goes
06:02to diallo amadialo first second uh portion of the game leads the case say that more stringent
06:14intervention is required for that challenge rolls through to amad you can see a let it run
06:21down to amad for fun do it
06:28sickle for fun
06:33not the best from dude but he gets away with it let's do it again amad to the back post
06:48is a great ball from amad it's a fantastic ball to pick out to put that on target some beautiful
06:56some beautiful combination that no he shouldn't have done but i've done this he's very tall
07:00he jumped very well he was very committed but officially he didn't get ahead away but i think
07:05he should have done better more than this but it's living up to the billing is this game as intense
07:11as we expected it to be both sides giving as good as they're getting
07:25neither defense has been breached yet certainly neither keeper has been breached yet
07:39there it is
07:41so that is the first i've done here on being sports we knew it's going to be a good tight game and it is
07:51but it will sep it the president of the african confederation of football on screen nil nil after 45
07:58minutes of play we'll see what happens in second could have killing him a bit also following the action
08:05very closely we'll take a short break come back with the highlights from the first half here means

08:57a good record though in opening matches at the tournament which they maintain this time around
09:09champion with a long throw
09:13straight away it's your mind giving chase
09:15and uh could be a chance there from rumor and uh
09:24following up there it's good pressure from my vote but it's going to be a goal kick
09:30such a good strike of the boy he is now pulling wide on the left hand side chance here good fight oh my word
09:42what a chance that was namaso let's take a look at it again yeah
09:47a beautiful one from balema to mbimo he did a good cross beautiful cross

09:59yeah good call from the referee yeah yeah can't give a penalty for that comes off the body onto the arm
10:09but we should give credit to sangaria

12:36he gave the ball one view one went inside and killed the ball beautifully at the second post
12:42great goal what a goal what a player absolutely dangerous when you allow him to bring it onto the
12:48cliff booth and mfi says that's what i'm talking about
12:56and we have a breakthrough a few minutes after they had a goal
13:01choked off by vr they produce an equally spectacular goal

13:18two areas in the morning during the defensive work they skip a total new
13:28have cleared falls from the ball one tip to one two the shot

14:40beauty beautiful goal and he got a flick on the tip of the
14:46of the gloves but he couldn't power the ball away from from getting inside

15:48ball to do it you have flick the ball beautiful in the second four and who else always in the box frank
15:53case here and it's all very help he jumped high got the ball and a good day
16:04as a little jersey tag on for fana there they look to break referee made the good advantage
16:23this is a corner chance to turn therefore by the shots
16:31in the kill zone is the skipper good defending though from
16:37i've because have a connect they target the first was or target their two central defenders

17:31oh
17:39cutting inside yeah this casey now it's just come on and it's a yellow card
17:49yeah i think i've recorded this such a player who is very tricky and can take this take advantage of
17:55the spaces and can dribble very well and away just trying to see the other player the other side is
18:03yeah but you're right that's friends it does favor the right
18:08let's see what they've worked on on the training ground it's in bruma
18:14i try to tip it but it is too close to go
18:17it's very difficult to score from there knowing that the boys are a bit closer to the post when you
18:22love it it will go far from their post he should have targeted where the goalkeeper was
18:26in the nation's cup
18:44there should i say 55th appearance none of the nation's cup but 55th appearance
