00:00As the anthem of CAF plays to herald the Warriors onto the pitch, national pride is at stake.
00:08He believes that each player that is in this team here can go out there and do the work for him.
00:12So the players have to believe in themselves that they can take on this Mali side and actually beat them.
00:17Yeah, well Mali, you can see Mali has got a lot of quality in their team and the coach is aware of that.
00:21So he's very comfortable with whatever team he puts out there.
00:25For the Silicanthus, it's last chance saloon, it's a Mexican standoff, do or die.
00:33And we're underway as it stands, it is Mali in all white.
00:39Not the best of stats from Mali right now, I think they're allowing Comoros a lot of space, a lot of time to play and attack them.
00:46And that could prove dangerous for them if they are not too careful.
00:50Very interesting outlook to the game as it started in 11 minutes here.
00:55I think one that the Newtos will definitely enjoy, high pass, high octane and a shot from distance.
01:02Any one point as we take another look at that shot that was fashioned out from almost nothing by the RC lens man, Mamadou Sangare.
01:11This team is one that can strike even from a distance, Mamadou Sangare, with an attempt to rattle that defense if they needed a warning.
01:20There it is, it just arrived.
01:22Very important to try and test the goalkeeper early in the game just to see what he has here.
01:26Unfortunately, the shot was just not the best one, but good idea to try and just try and catch the goalkeeper and see what he has in his arsenal.
01:37Not just to take advantage of this great opportunity for the players to attack Mali.
01:42But he is a more passionate supporter of Mali and feel the opportunity to have an attack Mali.
01:46Nothing to do otherwise, but not the effort.
01:47We need to take advantage of this real opportunity that they're getting to have an attack Mali.
02:02Make use of them.
02:04make use of them gasama the man that will be tasked with uh restarting play here man that
02:14has consistently had that patching of romping the entire flank as now they look to get into a
02:20counter-attack nene probes it forward and they have numbers up in arms can they get something
02:25out of this a cut back is good arriving in time is dombia komari dombia just couldn't get to the
02:31ball and the danger is not yet passed still on the attack sinayoko looking for the one-two but
02:37lads quite a number of bodies up front his physical prowess doing a good job cut back is on
02:45oh the captain you cannot afford to make that mistake there sleimani the short comes in peppers
02:51the goalkeeper's hands two very crucial occasions you mentioned the wings here for for covers i think
02:57mali is just trying to drag them out and dancing with the devil did indeed dancing with the devil
03:03there in his own penalty box puts his team in a lot of pressure there unlucky for him his goalkeeper
03:09was up to the test and make a very very good save from that nene shot first shot on target and first
03:15good attack from mali and comrades have gotten a wake-up call there they know they need to keep it
03:22even tighter to stop this mali team from finding that goal that they have been searching for for
03:27the last 41 minutes mali catching a wave of an opportunity and that will definitely
03:33just whet their appetite they'll go about it again nene douglas touch one sidestep and uh there is a back
03:42here to camera asks for the ball and he receives it to occur it it's a bit quiet in the first 15 minutes
03:51of the game but now's uh gotten up his uh love to roam forward as well so both fullbacks exercising as
04:00much of the freedom given as possible gasama yeah doing that as well on the left and that's a good
04:06throw pass to nene nene looking to sidestep he's closed down the cut back is good something needs
04:12to be done about the wings here for komoros too many cutbacks towards the center of the park
04:18one will ultimately leave them open and mali may definitely just land that blow that they're looking
04:26for nene once again dumbia an opportunity fancied by mohammad kamara on target very solid in that
04:41goal the good strike there and a good save equally there he was watching it all the way and for those
04:46that uh do remember the last time that uh komoros was at the african cup of nations the heroics of ben
04:53salime boina were quite something to talk about and marvel about so pandor
05:02starts it but it's only short-lived as they have to take a break after 45 minutes what is going to
05:10be the game plan here as far as the second half is concerned well i think uh we shall see more of the
05:15same thing as we saw in the first half i think uh it's all about passing and trying to find those little
05:19gaps there jim just reeks of a heightened atmosphere that feeling of uh impending anticipation in the
05:30air you can literally sense it there should be a goal lacking somewhere here yeah question is for who
05:36in the meantime that question is getting answered again in rabat it's three to the good for morocco
05:44as a chance comes up here in the box area sinayoko was the man that was intended for
05:50ball hacked clear a danger not yet passed they'll look to build again duokore this room could let it
05:58fly from this distance the goal referee was in his path kamara wanted the ball did come to him instead
06:06going to dookare tries to cross the ball in clear the way gasama with the shot the ball was nearly
06:13deflected in kamara dumbia just getting a touch there as on the wrong side of the post for mali
06:22the shot came a slight touch was there a touch it was a touch from there it was a slight touch from
06:29covering oh my that was close too close for comfort to the net there
06:37another attempt made not fully materializing and there's another clumsy back pass
06:46someone is about to pay a hefty hefty price for those back passes and that ball is lost in there
06:51kamara dumbia tries to race in it was a heavy charge on him
06:56the referee says it's okay physical game here and his carry gets away with it and now that launches
07:01the selecanthus forward this is slemani has possession plays it out here for maulida
07:06mayazine tries to take the shot well blocked they need to make it have an end product
07:15abdukarim abdallah with the start here ben mohammed going forward but easily dispossessed
07:21and that's picked up again by mamadou sangare he tried to carry the ball forward planted on the seat
07:27of his pants proper reinforcement that was brought in there yeah hamadou dombia is a ball carrier
07:36something that uh the summa wasn't quite able to do many times finding the pass before moving forward
07:42and it's a very mobile hamadou dombia explains why he's uh the first choice that was brought in here
07:50comes that opportunity
07:54slemani phase shows too much of the ball to the defense of mali and they uh force him to retreat
08:00momentarily abdul hakim abdallah i can just see there almost trying to add on a little bit more
08:08pressure on this uh mali defense they're trying to still play that ball behind the mali defense
08:12but just not finding his range but they're doing very well coming and attacking and there's a slip in
08:18here ben mohammed takes the shots it flies call for a corner mana plays for fk zamone in sabia forcing a
08:31fine fine serve here from the goalkeeper ball keeper and keeps mali in the game and in the tournament as
08:38well corner face lemani well that's not one he'll want to see in the replays
08:49long ball goes searching for instantly repelled a return to sender doesn't settle well was going for
08:56the shot players on the ground rinthing in pain the referee says play on advantage it's for the moment
09:02now this is an interesting uh call and there's a video assistant referee call for the center referee
09:11to the pitch side monitor question was was that a bookable fence dara reaching out and uh point
09:22review here when you look at it it looks like he got he got actually got the ball first so he wasn't
09:27intention intended it was no intention in uh yeah you can see yeah tipped it away yeah tipped the ball
09:32away and then okay yeah okay
09:38he got the ball first
09:41yes we have our stand leg we have fully
09:45it can't be it can't be a red cut for that it's not a follow-through because he got the ball first
09:51oh we got on gana just was trying to strike the ball so he he was late
09:55and get into the ball well that can only speculate but uh speculation will soon be put to rest as
10:04alhaj aliu it can be it can be a cut for this one strolls back on the pitch with a poker face no
10:14saying what will happen next and that's a free kick oh my goodness straight red card
10:22it's showing changama has now given his side of fighting it's been a very tough game for both
10:31teams very very tough some good play here and there but physical as well
10:34and it will be all she writes
