00:00Well let's get this party started here in Agadea with Mozambique playing in red
00:06against Cameroon and playing in white. Amanda to be perfectly honest with you
00:11all of those changes make sense for Mozambique, they want their best team to
00:17start in that round of 16 clash, their first ever taste of knockout.
00:21Start out playing for Twa, there's the little kick through and this defensive work, Edmilson
00:28and it's been picked up, Cameroon with a chance and they haven't managed to clear it, there's
00:32the lofted ball over into the hands of Ur-Rabal. Sorry guys, that was a little bit of a scary
00:39moment but look at that, the poor control from Edmilson, Edmilson topples over the chop, Ur-Rabal
00:46loses it and the ball comes back across and that was a great scoring opportunity for Cameroon.
00:51Yeah, missed opportunity there for Cameroon, miscommunication where the goalkeeper is concerned
00:56and Edmilson at the back shouldn't really allow those kinds of mistakes to be happening
01:01in their box, they could be punished. The lofted ball there from Nemasso, not ideal but saw what
01:07he was trying to do, but you need to have runners and people need to understand what's going on
01:11and that was a fair... Here's the lofted free kick into the penalty area, they're going for a header
01:17there, it goes over the chop, it has been picked up there, Gildo's demand, high ball over the chop,
01:21oh, a little bit of spillage and a chance there for Mozambique, he very nearly pounced Manuel
01:27Kambala. There you go, there's the other, the little bit of spillage there, there's a man,
01:33a rare mistake in fact, that's a wonderful deep ball as well, picked up by the danger man,
01:38Gede, gets the ball across, oh the attempted shot and Bassey picks it up once again, danger over on that
01:44far side. Wonderful work, they really did split the defence in two with that scything pass behind.
01:53Just taking a knock maybe on that hamstring.
01:57Dispossessed by Mboumo, Mboumo sends it through, there's a great chance we've got, what a save!
02:02That is to Mourabal and he comes to the rescue and Christian Kofan was sent through by Mboumo,
02:10the timing of his run was, well, perfect, right-footed shot, but look what Mourabal, he came out,
02:18smothered, got in the way, it comes off his chest and that's a brilliant save.
02:22Great anticipation, leaves the line very early, sensing the day.
02:27Around the edge of the penalty box, Gede again, there's the delivery, oh there's an option at the back,
02:33oh it's the first touch, not the right one, oh it's come across, there's Cameroon with a great chance,
02:39and again you can see that the danger man, Kofan of the net, I don't know what he's doing at the back,
02:45Ed Mielsen, but he's allowing everybody to get hold of the ball and that should have been cleared,
02:51it should have been kicked out. The weakest of obstacles that you'll face in your career,
02:57he is as solid as can be, but you've got to be careful, here he is, Gede, Gede, on the left,
03:01finally goes to a shot, look at that goal, oh my, he comes across, he goes in, left footed strike,
03:10absolutely incredible, how on earth do you stop that, no one saw it coming.
03:18For them a 1-0 advantage, Amanda, look at that.
03:22Beautiful, well taken from Guinea, spoke about the key battle on this right side where he's coming from,
03:28quick acceleration into that final third, drop of the shoulder and curls it to the far post,
03:35leaving Epasi with no chance at all.
03:41I mean hit with so much pace, but the bounce enables it to just fly off the surface,
03:48yeah, yeah, you're waving to an entire nation, so the entire country.
03:56The run, there's the run, it's a good run as well, great opportunity, the touch, it's gone down,
04:01oh, it's in the back of the net, there's the goal, oh, stopped, stopped on the line,
04:05oh, it's been kicked in, and an old goal has been scored by Mene, couldn't clear the ball, and a goal for Cameroon,
04:14an equaliser, the pressure cooker situation, all Group F battle.
04:21Onside as he races through, and two players, oh, he went flying over the top, so they're off the post.
04:30For the first shot, there you go, there's Kofan who flies over the top,
04:38Magri gets the chance to shoot, his effort comes off the left post,
04:46after getting deflected there by Mene, just look at that, that's so unfortunate, Amanda.
04:51Very unfortunate, just a little bit.
04:55Cameroon picking the ball up, well, it's been sent through very quickly, there's the danger,
04:59he's got past his man, goal number two for Cameroon, but the flag has gone up for Christian Kofan,
05:09a fraction offside. I didn't see that one.
05:12And that's it, he's just tucked himself behind his man, Chamboko.
05:22But again, just showing off his strikers.
05:28Paleba going on one of those surging rounds, it goes down towards the byline,
05:31ball's been pulled back across, Bamo has his shot knocked off the defender, and it goes down for a call.
05:38It was set up beautifully for that sweet left foot of Brian Mbumu.
05:45A bit casual though, Amanda.
05:46Yep, good cut back to find Mbumu, unmarked in the box.
05:53I thought he could have done a lot better.
05:55It's magic, there's a ball that goes down to the left-hand side, flag stays down,
06:00and a last chance opportunity here, flag finally goes up, and that should be the end of the half.
06:08Yep, we spoke about just how critical Buma is to the team, whether the coach will start
06:14with him from the bench, or will start him in the starting line-up.
06:19And Rigobertsong at the back there, of course, Samueletto, oh they've given the ball away,
06:23it's Cameroon on the attack, onto the right foot, there's the shot, oh look at that rocket!
06:29What a rocket, Kofan! Kofan time!
06:38What an incredible rocket strike it was!
06:42He nearly tore the post out of the ground!
06:46Coming from the Bayer Leverkusen man,
06:48pinched the ball, puts it on his right foot, and how about that?
06:54That is one of the best shots that you'll see all year!
06:58The qualities of a good striker, Kofan, making up for an earlier attempt to which he completely missed,
07:10he wants to do it the hard way, pickpockets Mozambique at the back, forces them into a defensive era,
07:18absolutely maximizes on it, great.
07:21Ball goes over the chop, it's dispossessed, excellent work,
07:27and a surge forward! That's going to be a free kick right on the edge of the penalty box,
07:32Christopher Wu will pick up a yellow card.
07:36Guinea once again, presence of mind, anticipates very well, senses the danger,
07:42just topotes the ball to beat the man, and draws a foul in a very promising area.
07:47They are taking out Gennie like that, they're one of their star players,
07:51and of course, he understands.
07:56Well, he's playing with authority, isn't he?
07:58Yeah, Dina Mbibic for his first cap playing for Cameroon.
08:02When you're making calls like that, it means that you're serious as a downward header,
08:05another follow-up shot, what a save!
08:08What a fabulous save that was to Murabal!
08:11Let's just have a look at this again, the high ball comes up,
08:15that is a brilliant header there from Niamsi, and then the follow-up shot stopped by Urubal.
08:25This is always the danger with the tactic of defending maybe a corner,
08:30didn't really have fair chances in front of goal,
08:33but complemented Kufana very well in opening those spaces.
08:36But this combination here is very interesting.
08:43Look at this, he can't deal with the accelerator,
08:47so he puts an end to that very, very quickly.
08:51Chamito pulled down.
08:56A thrilling, exciting AFCON in Group F, for sure!
09:02Pinched the ball, an opportunity!
09:04It's oh, the power of a shot!
09:06Come on, Ettore Young makes a complete mess of it!
09:10But let's just look at this!
09:11What a brilliant pass from Kristian Kofan!
09:17Oh, Young!
09:19Look at the captain there, just reassuring the player to lift himself.
09:23On the 4th of January, South Africa
09:26will take on the team who finishes second in Group F, so it's Côte d'Ivoire.
09:30That's Rabat in Al-Medina.
09:32Morocco will play Tanzania.
09:34That's a fixed game.
09:35Yellow card dished out that he won't be too happy about.
09:38What's the point?
09:40That's frustration, that is.
09:43Which is Burkina Faso, and then Algeria against Dior Congo in Rabat.
09:51The chance!
09:53The opportunity!
09:54It's another one of those misses!
09:56From that midfield.
09:59Oh man, the weight of the pass, the spin behind it.
10:02Tried to go first time and he completely misses it.
10:04Well, it's the outside of the right ankle, really.
10:12Boyomo picks it up.
10:13Acres of space down the right side.
10:14Bassegog in front of him.
10:16And a lot of movement here.
10:17Well, that's a good through ball.
10:18Oh, the goalkeeper's come and dealt with that.
10:21He didn't see him coming, did he, Kristian Kofan?
10:23In and around those two centre-backs.
10:26He loves to break the line.
10:27I don't think that was offside.
10:28We've gone past the four-minute mark.
10:32It's all over.
10:34Cameroon take three points here against Mozambique.
10:39And a guaranteed second or first place.
10:42At the moment, it's second.
10:43Plahaon's play two.
10:44SAAHP
