00:00Match officials walking out of the tunnel, followed by Angola, Egypt.
00:07Angola in their tenth appearance, three-time quarter-finalists.
00:12Midfielder, former Antalya Sport player now playing for Bodrum in the midfield.
00:17And just in front of him, Mabalulu, Lovumbo and Chico Banza, who actually plays his football in Egypt, in Cairo.
00:23Of Zamalek, lashing Saber in the midfield with Adele, Mustafa Mohamed up front.
00:29Of course, the Nantes centre-forward.
00:35A third clash for this Group B for the Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations.
00:41Morocco 20-25, the ball going back into the hands of...
00:44And this is a fairly new team that still needs to really find their bearings and find the momentum.
00:49Well, they go back rather than forward.
00:52There's a chance for a delivery into the penalty box.
00:54Excellent header there from Kamal.
00:56Oh, the ball comes over!
00:57Well, acrobatics that set up Mustafa Mohamed.
01:02Just look at this.
01:04Onside, ball comes up.
01:07Look at Mustafa Mohamed, the non-man, gets the overhead.
01:10And unfortunately, Hossam can't link up and get the header in on target.
01:15From Hossam, uncontested in the air.
01:20A lot of traffic on the edge of the penalty box.
01:25And it goes behind the defence goalkeeper, Hugo, comes out.
01:30And a fine decision-making clutch move there coming from Hugo.
01:41Good overlap here for Rui Modesto.
01:44First-time ball.
01:48Maestro.
01:49Oh, he's still got possession.
01:50And he got a chance, it's on his right foot.
01:52Can he get a shot?
01:53And that's a shot!
01:54Just a great strike into Shobir, who smothers it.
01:58But on that left-hand side, thought Maestro was going to take it.
02:01Didn't really hit it the way that he...
02:03They lose, like I said.
02:04It's a lot of pressure for these players who are starting.
02:06They cannot drop the bar.
02:08But of course, that will mean an advantage for Angola.
02:11South Africa and Zimbabwe are in the same contest.
02:14It's exactly that.
02:15It's exactly that.
02:16And again, Angola picking up possession.
02:26Freddie in the midfield, gets the ball out to the left-hand side.
02:28Another opportunity here.
02:29There's Chico Banza getting the ball over.
02:31It's headed away.
02:32Great chance for a shot, potentially.
02:34Umbo with an effort there and unable to really drill it in and get behind.
02:40That's the group as it stands, but I'm talking about the third-place teams, of course.
02:44And I think that we can understand that Tanzania are back down there in fifth,
02:50ahead of Angola in sixth position with their one point.
02:53As the ball's gone a little bit too far.
02:56It's been tidied up there by Ugo.
02:59So there's still a great chance for Angola.
03:04You get a point.
03:05If this ends up being a two-all draw, they've still got a chance of going through.
03:09But will it be the scenario that they want?
03:12It really depends.
03:13It's a great opportunity.
03:14Look at that.
03:15But Chico Banza racing onto that.
03:18He needed to slot the ball past Shobir.
03:20Opportunity it was.
03:21Let's just have a look at this again.
03:25And a sensational one-two between him and Mabululu.
03:31You've got to get it on target.
03:33You've got to get that shot.
03:34He was kind of hindered, wasn't he?
03:37By Mohamed Ismail.
03:38And there's Adele into the middle.
03:42Lashien goes on.
03:43A little bit of a wonder.
03:44There's no connection, says the referee.
03:47Long-range shot coming away!
03:49Shobir parries the ball to the left-hand side.
03:52Picked up by Chico Banza.
03:53The contest was great in that midfield.
03:57Egypt just overrunning the ball.
03:59Quick turnover.
04:00Look at how Freddie quickly picks that up.
04:02Power.
04:03Target.
04:04Not in any rush to get the ball out of his penalty box.
04:14And the referee from the Côte d'Ivoire.
04:17Mr. Clermont Cabane blows the whistle for half-time.
04:28There we go.
04:29Second half started.
04:30He just really trying to get behind the ball.
04:33But Adele as well.
04:34There's no clear communication and understanding in that case.
04:37But hopefully with the introduction of Zizou,
04:39it will be able to just command things
04:42and just take care of that midfield.
04:44Take care of the ball.
04:45Recycle it a lot better.
04:47And maybe we'd see a bit more free-flowing football.
04:52Pushing forward there.
04:53Going on one of those little moves.
04:55Again!
04:56There's the shot!
04:57Shobir does well.
04:58Coming from the goalkeeper from Egypt.
05:02And the shot there was delivered with Panache straight at the goalkeeper.
05:06But the idea was good.
05:09His father was an Ahli legend.
05:11Of course, Ahmed Shobir played Freddie with the right foot.
05:15How sweet is it today?
05:17Can he wrap that right foot around the ball and offer Angola a goal?
05:21Here he goes.
05:22Here he goes.
05:23Freddie!
05:24With it!
05:25Oh!
05:26It comes off the left post.
05:27Panache.
05:28It was struck delightfully.
05:32So close.
05:33Oh!
05:34Beautiful to the eye, wasn't it, Amanda?
05:38Yep.
05:39The goalkeeper.
05:40Totally beaten.
05:41Freddie with that kind of accuracy.
05:43The power behind the ball.
05:44Angola pushing the ball up very swiftly to get themselves in a dangerous position.
05:49Good work over on that right-hand side.
05:51There's the delivery coming in!
05:53Oh!
05:54That wasn't bad at all.
05:55Needed to latch onto that, didn't he, Mabalulu?
05:58Mm-hm.
05:59Whether or not we're going to have a change.
06:01Assess the situation with the medical team.
06:04He's been good in the midfield last year.
06:06But, you know, when you're playing second fiddle to an Angolan team,
06:11who are just very keen and motivated and putting in 200% in the midfield,
06:17it's quite difficult to actually, you know, keep the ball safe.
06:20But with Zizou, he's come back on.
06:22They're giving the ball to Egypt.
06:23Long-range shot coming their way, potentially.
06:25There's the pass from Salah, it's been picked up.
06:28There's the shot!
06:29Oh, it's a good save that is from the goalkeeper, Hugo.
06:32Comes to the rescue.
06:34And a great save as well.
06:36Yep, Angola just pickpocketed in their own half.
06:40Adele this time around with the perfect decision to try and locate Zizou.
06:44But that's the immediate impact that you will expect from Zizou.
06:48Much more experienced player in the park.
06:50Still plenty of football to be played.
06:53Here, there we go.
06:54That's the score line up there.
06:55You can see it on your screens.
06:57I'm telling the truth.
07:00Are you?
07:02Oh!
07:03A touch there.
07:04Stop it.
07:05Gaspar.
07:06Egypt on the attack.
07:07Ball comes across.
07:08Zizou!
07:09Puts it on his left!
07:10No, he doesn't shoot it first time!
07:12Picked up by Zizou.
07:13By Fatih.
07:14With Ayd to his right.
07:15Here's Zizou.
07:16Little acceleration.
07:17Looks up.
07:18Tries to get his delivery.
07:19Doesn't get past the first defender.
07:20Freddy.
07:21Good, Sandala.
07:22And very coolly dealt with in the middle with Scho.
07:23Good long ball.
07:24This is very dangerous.
07:25Excellent ball.
07:26Angola going for goal!
07:27Oh, my word.
07:28It's gone wide.
07:29What a chance for Zizou.
07:30He's only just come on to send the whole nation into raptures.
07:33What a ball that was.
07:34Great first touch.
07:35Just couldn't get it on target.
07:37Just couldn't get it on target.
07:58Hunting for that goal.
08:10Oh, there's a little bit of a body check there.
08:13Look at that coming from Nurio Fortuna.
08:16It is permitted, of course, but I leaned into him in a big way.
08:20Giving the ball away.
08:21Papaloulou.
08:25Benson.
08:26Here he is once again.
08:28Out to the right side now.
08:29Sun starting to set here in Agadir.
08:31When we see a goal.
08:33Oh, and the attack.
08:36Egypt, look at that for a challenge.
08:38The referee happy with it.
08:40Oh, a second challenge as well.
08:42Egypt still in possession.
08:44They've got to follow their man.
08:45The shot comes in!
08:46It's a nice shot as well, but...
08:49...by Hugo, but Zizou this time said,
08:52I'm going to try my luck from...
08:56And also a change with Mabaloulou going on.
09:04Harry Papel comes on to replace him.
09:07The Al-Aqdar player in Libya.
09:1252 matches played and a former Ismaili player,
09:16so he knows the Egyptian Premier League very well.
09:21Played 22 matches and scored six goals.
09:24Here they are on the attack.
09:26He's yet looking for that goal, that elusive goal.
09:28Will they be able to get the shot?
09:32There's the...
09:33T-down!
09:34Look at that!
09:35Roughly drive from distance.
09:36He's only just come on.
09:38That wasn't far off, was it?
09:41Wow!
09:42Not at all.
09:43Didn't need any time to warm up into the game.
09:46Good work down the right hand side as they pick up possession with N'Zola.
09:50with N'Zola.
09:58Benson with a shot!
09:59It goes just over the bar.
10:04A point is not enough.
10:07Unless they've scored goals.
10:09And it's not the scenario.
10:11There's the high ball coming over the top.
10:16Harry Papel.
10:18Keeps the ball in play.
10:19Nice touch.
10:22Goes down.
10:23Gets the ball across.
10:24It's headed away.
10:25A chance for Angola.
10:26Benson!
10:27Another shot!
10:28Shaw!
10:29Shaw gets the shot!
10:30Oh, it goes high and wide.
10:32And away from Shabir.
10:34Opportunity.
10:35It was nearly going to be showtime.
10:38But at the end.
10:41Well, that's it.
10:44The final whistle has been blown.
10:47Well, it's all a little bit disappointing.
10:51Frank Ola, they put in 200%.
