00:00Here he is now, Abdallah, little touch for Bargolan, he's doing well up and down that right-hand flank, onside, Abdallah gets the shot in, oh, what a goal, what a goal here for Ahmed Abdallah, and Sudan have the early lead.
00:21That's what we're talking about, you know, Mark, you know, bring a lot of changes being brought into this team, you know, RPS said this team very well, in the first six minutes you can see that they are not holding back, you know, they're going toe-to-toe, you know, man-on-man pressure pressing, good combination play, the ball got to Abdallah, you know, the two centre-backs pulled back, they didn't see it coming, and, you know, every left footer have this kind of swing on his feet, and, you know, he found the, you know, the
00:50far corner, and Mendy couldn't do anything about it.
00:54Well, there was a lot made of the fact that they've held out for more than 20 since then, stolen away, though, Abu Agha is just too slow for Sadio Mane, lays it back, Papage!
01:12Well, it was only really going to be a matter of time, and Senegal's quality, possession stolen by Sadio Mane in the midfield,
01:19that's where, you know, the quality of the leadership that we're talking about, you saw Idrissa game, you know,
01:27Mane, is he onside, Saar, flag stays down, Jackson waits, not the best of all,
01:38surprisingly, the flag did stay down there, here's Nicholas Jackson, Gay, number two,
01:44side-footed it in the back of the net, and Papage has a second goal.
01:48I think it's an offside, they have to, the, the lineman is running to the center, but I think,
01:56if I'm not mistaken, you know, the ball will be taken back, back, like, yeah.
02:05Mane again, running from Mbaye, James got a touch, but Mbaye's ahead of him, Ibrahim Mbaye, oh,
02:12special, super, special goal from the teenager.
02:17That was a bad day to give for himself, wasn't it?
02:20I told you that was a substitution that I was waiting for.
02:23This is a young man that, you know, have shown class, you know, from the first game, that, you know,
02:30he, he came in at a sub, you know, in the group stages, and whenever he comes into this, into the game from a sub, you know, he makes it...
02:37He's trying to draw the numbers, oh, Mali, not going to be coaxed out of their defensive shell at the moment.
02:46Three minutes, and counting.
02:50Saad, in possession, gets the ball in, free header!
02:54The flag stays down!
02:57Right at the stroke of the death of the game!
03:01And somehow, one way or another, they've finally unlocked the defense!
03:07The stalwart is no more!
03:10Aman Daman has a chance to be a hero, if he can serve it, from the spots in Ayoko!
03:21Brings the Eagles right back into the contest!
03:24Talk about a lifeline!
03:29That is one!
03:31Right from the top draw!
03:34Just when they were counted out, Mali prove resilient!
03:39The drawmasters will hold on to their chance and take it down to the final mile!
03:47Yeah, not the best of penalties from Sinayoko.
03:50The keeper actually had his hands on the ball, but he just won't get the strong enough punch
03:54to clear it out of touch there, and he will be heading himself for that missed opportunity
04:02to win his team this game.
04:06And I have to take an extra touch to give his player, you know, that chance
04:10if the ball goes behind the defense to reach it.
04:19Inside the area, a little star quality, tight angle, and the goal has finally come!
04:25Brahim Diaz becomes the first Moroccan to score in four matches of an African Cup of Nations!
04:31He's done it in successive games, and he's broken the deadlock again!
04:35Seven goals in qualifying, he's top goal scorer in the qualifiers!
04:40Four goals in the finals!
04:43There's a player called Ongoal with two.
04:47In he comes from Mbubo, only as far as the edge of the box,
04:50where Baleba picks it up, looking for the bottom corner, deflection,
04:53this surely will be the first goal of the game, and it is, it goes Cameroon's way!
04:58And of all people, it's Junior Shamadou, who took full advantage of the ball,
05:06pinballing around the South African area.
05:11And out of nowhere, Cameroon lead, a South African side that have dominated large parts of this opening period.
05:20And right in midfielder, swung in, Foster with the header away, Apollos.
05:31Now, there is Baleba, forward again, Namasso.
05:37And they've got numbers forward still, Cameroon, in it goes!
05:39For number two, we said he was a danger man, one chance, one goal, Christian Kofan.
05:47He is a star of the future for Cameroon, and African football,
05:51and he buried that to give the indomitable eyes a two-goal lead,
05:55and it's a long way back for Bafana Bafana from here.
05:59Kofan is exceptional, the timed run, and the movement.
06:03In fact, let's just see this again. Look at the timing, and look at the way he directs the header.
06:12Exception of player. This player can do it all.
06:15He can be a link player, he can be a player who can...
06:21Let's look at this.
06:23He times his run, he waits, he waits, and he attacks the ball and hits it exactly where he should.
06:28He doesn't let the ball come to him.
06:30Aquana.
06:36And again.
06:41The delivery!
06:43And South Africa do get one back!
06:46With just two and a half minutes left on the clock, a real melee in there as well.
06:51But they've got the goal.
06:53The substitute, Eminence Mahoppa.
06:55Firing home, what a ball into the area.
07:02From Modiba, one sub to another.
07:05And he took it well.
07:08And do we now have a grandstand finish and have South Africa possibly given themselves the platform to come back?
07:15Because he can.
07:16Yeah.
07:17But he needs to find a bit more confidence on the pitch as well because of the lack of time that he's had.
07:22There's Hanni, Hanni working with Salah.
07:24Salah, Salah gets the return pass.
07:27Is he going to get past his man?
07:28Hanni gets it back.
07:29Anybody there?
07:30He's followed up.
07:31There's a shot!
07:32Look at that!
07:33Attia!
07:34Attia gets the goal!
07:36It's a stunner!
07:37A stunner in Agadir from Attia!
07:45And finally a goal has been scored in this round of 16 showdown.
07:52And maybe against the grain.
07:54But a brilliant goal from Maranatia!
07:59Right place!
08:00Right time!
08:02First touch!
08:03Drilled into the corner!
08:07To deliver against Danganu!
08:11Yep!
08:12Whenever they get any kind of an opportunity they will take it.
08:14You can see that.
08:15You can feel it.
08:16It's in the air.
08:17As they give the ball away once again.
08:18They pick the ball up.
08:19That's a wonderful look.
08:20Chance for a shot there.
08:21But it's Alok who gets the ball out too.
08:23That man.
08:24Err.
08:25Toshan!
08:26Oh!
08:27It's gone in!
08:28They've got the equaliser!
08:29It came for the right!
08:30Toshan!
08:31Unbelievable!
08:32The scene's here in Agadir!
08:36Unbelievable scenario!
08:39They've got the equaliser!
08:42Wow!
08:48You've got to take advantage of whatever you possibly can.
08:51El Shenoui looks across.
08:52The defence look across.
08:54But Ben and the cheaters have got themselves an equaliser.
08:57Doshu is just absolutely bouncing.
08:59Let's have a look at this again.
09:00El Shenoui gives the ball away.
09:01They pick it back up.
09:02That was the opportunity.
09:03Comes out to the right-hand side.
09:04And there's the delivery.
09:05I think it's off the back of Atajiku.
09:06They take it quickly.
09:07They're moving forward.
09:08This is what Egypt are really good at.
09:09There's the...
09:10Chip, it's a good header!
09:11Oh!
09:12What a goal!
09:13That is just incredible!
09:14Yasser, the centre-back!
09:15Yasser, Yasser, Yasser!
09:16Yasser, Yasser!
09:17Yasser, Yasser!
09:18A brilliant angled header beating D'Angeneu!
09:19There is nothing in the world that any goalkeeper can do about that!
09:22Top quality from Egypt!
09:34Another short corner with Fatou.
09:38that any goalkeeper can do about that. Top quality from Egypt.
09:50Another short corner with Fatou, it's brought back, that's the delivery that comes in.
09:56Look at that header, Asya with the assist, Yasser with that.
10:04Want to get the ball rolling once again, and the referee wants to get that, keep the clock ticking,
10:12as Rabia's down on the ground, there it is, now Mo Salah, the goalkeeper's in, Mo Salah,
10:17Mo Salah, Mo Salah, Mo Salah gets his 10th Afghan goal, the third Egyptian to score 10 goals
10:28for Egypt and an Africa combination, joining Hassan Oshazli and his coach,
10:36Hassan Hassan, Mo Salah, he's marvellous, he delivers every time, and that is just a brilliant pass,
10:46and a fantastic finish, Egypt moves to...
10:52Chikinyukonde, very much a celebrated figure in Mozambican football, a prolific striker in the 80s and 90s,
11:01and now the coach that's been in charge since 2021. Nigeria though, looks a challenge, and Lukman has his third.
11:08Nigeria so quick in transition, the delivery from out wide, exquisite the finish, superb,
11:18and Lukman has his fifth goal involvement for Nigeria at this Africa Cup of Nations.
11:25All this started out from Iwobi.
11:27Iwobi, there's a lot of leadership for Nigeria suddenly on the park.
11:31This team has talent left and right.
11:34Oh, Iwobi, another low-look pass in towards Lukman.
11:39The delivery, delightful, Akko calls for it forward, back post, Oseman, it's two!
11:44Nigeria strike again.
11:48Five minutes ago, Nigeria had lift-off, now they're looking to soar.
11:55Mr Iwobi with the free assist.
11:58Well, you want to dominate, you want to have, every so often at least, a statement win.
12:08But you also need to be concerned about the possibility of players being available for seven full matches,
12:16for example. Here goes Lukman, in and out, looks for the pass, he'll recover it as well.
12:21Back post, teed up and finished.
12:25Victor Oseman with a delightful start for Nigeria.
12:29It's three in the tournament for Oseman, it's three on the night for Nigeria.
12:35And is the third three assists for you, Iwobi.
12:38And who scores this goal? Who was there again? The man who's always there?
12:49Victor Oseman doesn't, he's, this is what I love about this player.
12:53Every time a cross comes in, he's always in the box.
12:57Lukman, his tenacity to get this ball back and then feed.
13:01Simon, getting there just ahead of Bruno Lange.
13:09No fear of off-sider.
13:12A three on three potentially building now.
13:15Where's Simon?
13:18Lukman.
13:21Wide.
13:22Uncle Radims, tight angle, drills it in, has his third international goal and it's a defiant
