00:00The away side on your left in the yellow and green and A.S. Farr, the home side from Morocco, on the right of your screen in the predominantly black shirts, Zinedine Dharag.
00:12Some of those on your screen and we are off and underway on match day for the Group B of the CAF Champions League as surprisingly this game, by the way, could have been played in the Mule Alhassan Stadium and was scheduled to have been done so this time a week ago, but then it got moved in the week to this stadium.
00:37The Stade Olympique de Rabat hosted the Women's Africa Cup of Nations final last July, which Nigeria beat Morocco to win.
00:55Rabat, Dharag swinging it out left to Tokarnero.
01:00Down the line and into the middle, this is nice approach play from A.S. Farr.
01:06Chance here for Bash to open the scoring and he cannot take it.
01:10Well, he's got back up off his feet after that injury to fall to, but very nicely worked from A.S. Farr all the way through to Bash.
01:19Saito got it.
01:20Decent delivery in, Matthews heads it away with the murderer just behind him.
01:33Possible lack of communication, Tokarnero gets it back, still he has it, making him rose into the area.
01:42Cut out, chance here, edge of goal, Hrimat from the edge of the area, Hrimat again.
01:48Well, he buries his head in his hands, because on the target.
01:52This was a good opportunity for him, but it didn't travel far before it hit Mahus.
02:01It's his 200th appearance for A.S. Farr today, the skipper Hrimat.
02:06And he has 58 goal involvements from his time at the club.
02:11The club that he joined nine years ago now, from F.U.S. Rabat all his career in the Moroccan capital.
02:19So a free kick going, the Moroccans away.
02:33Just a little clip on her draft from Bott.
02:43Instantly felt that little clip.
02:45Good facial expression for us to observe, although I think it came with a bit of discomfort for the 27-year-old her draft.
02:57And he was the player fouled.
03:06And he's sizing up the free kick, so too Tokarnero.
03:12And he has Farr looking to break the deadlock.
03:17Hadraf forcing a really good save from Meraba.
03:20Good free kick. Solid block.
03:24And the home side have another corner.
03:27And that was a decent effort from Hadraf still looking for his first goal in the tournament this season.
03:34The midfielder.
03:35Out-swinger on this occasion. Headed away by the first man, Egan.
03:43Lewadny.
03:45Into Hadraf, who thought about the back heel.
03:47And eventually it does come through. Here's Basch down the right-hand side.
03:50Crossed in!
03:51And well, Madani with the block.
03:54Because that was going in a dangerous position towards the Cavalier goal.
04:00Hamadan with the header. Diving at the cross from Basch.
04:04Much more pace and power and purpose about that move from A.S. Farr.
04:08Look at this. He got the connection.
04:11And Madani, Madani's shoulder in the way.
04:16And there's a rueful grin.
04:21From Ahmed Hamadan.
04:24A veteran now, 34 years of age.
04:29And another looking for his first goals of this Champions League campaign after a couple last season.
04:35The man has won a couple of Moroccan titles as well.
04:39Not just with A.S. Farr, also Itihad Tangier.
04:41Here's Hadraf.
04:42Deeper delivery on this occasion over New.
04:44They've won five of their eight games so far.
04:49Drawing three of them.
04:50Here's Basch trying to see if he can engineer an opening goal for A.S. Farr in this game.
04:54Well, he's come in and headed over.
04:57He's gone in behind and...
05:01Went Hamadan and Tokar Nero.
05:03And it was the Angolan who got the touch.
05:05Could have made.
05:06And he was looking for Khrib.
05:08Who would have needed afterburners to get there.
05:11And that is the last action of the first half in which the goalkeepers have been largely quiet.
05:20In May.
05:21He'll join Pyramids of Egypt as...
05:24He will join Pyramids of Egypt as...
05:27...Champions of Africa.
05:30In twenty...
05:3120. Hadraff trying to unpick the Kabbali lock that's a good ball in and it's a little header
05:41as well from Luadne and Merba was equal to it but a rare chance on goal in this game and now Luadne
05:50again and then the volley from Hamadan to go straight into Luadne still they have it as far
05:56and then Baden decides that's enough and tees it up to Ahrib and Ahrib trying to play back into the
06:03Ivorian fails to do so and it was a good delivery by Hadraff and Merba not for the first time
06:14had to be alert to the danger and was
06:17Zamo down again he had a good strike at it and it was very unlucky to see his
06:29benefit just not travel too far before hitting Luadne tocanero into the middle again and this
06:35time it is a corner and will be for sure to the home side well this was the delivery well met as well
06:44they've taken it quickly that's why they can't show us the uh the replays and Abdel Hamid
06:51Deirag just dawdled and Barda wasn't going to be hanging around the 23 year old and forcefully in
06:58well that's it better ball in Madani equal to it
07:14but again
07:25screened in front of the back four very well
07:30nice first touch here now they've got numbers over
07:33well Hamidi was charging down the middle he's still in there
07:36center of the pitch chance here for Kamali strike a goal really well saved by Tagnauti
07:43now hit with ferocity by Mesaoudi
07:48and we have seen few moments like that in this half or last week on match day three when these two sides met as well
07:57Krimat tocanero back into the skipper
08:06a draft might think about hitting them from here and he does and bot is there again
08:15and he has uh worked very hard but
08:20cautioned in the very first minute very first seconds really
08:25he's stuck to his task Belayid with the header away Barda
08:31loose to Buda Boos it's on the counter that Kabbali looked their most dangerous
08:36here's tocanero a creep ahead of him just chooses to play back into Hamoudan
08:44her draft
08:46Derag
08:47space on the right if Bas can receive which he does
08:54Derag
08:55he played for both Buda Boos and her draft
09:02in better sort of freshness or fitness because
09:05during the break for the Africa cup of nations and he as far just simply didn't play
09:15Hamoudan into the middle Krimat doesn't get the shot away
09:19you expect more from Hiramat here he is again looking for the bottom corner and forcing
09:23the diving save from Taknauti who turns it around the post for a corner
09:29better from Hiramat and more of the standard and quality that we expect from him
09:36a draft down in the area
09:44can he has fired far finally find the breakthrough punched away
09:48Hrimat with the header back in and then across the face of goal
09:52unable to guide it down and keep it down
09:57Cabaret was picking up the loose ball from Krimat
10:03got a punch on it didn't matter about
10:04again as is here's one seven yellows so far this season for the uh cabaret fullback
10:18for the uh cabaret to put himself about
10:33look like a handball there
10:35well if he is playing on in any case here's Tokanaro
10:41endless energy and still he goes
10:44that's a better ball into the middle oh that is a super goal
10:47and finally the deadlock is broken and as far have the goal and what a goal it was as well by Hamza
10:58Cabaret for once a superb delivery into the area from the Angolan fullback Tokanaro and Cabaret has
11:05his first goal of the campaign and just how important could that goal be for the Moroccans and for that man
11:11drinking the water bottle Joe Zimbawa the coach of JS Cavali
11:15a moment of real quality in a game that has lacked it
11:22look how well he took it the 29 year old opening up the foot getting the contact guiding it past
11:28guy I'm mad about
11:31and finally at long last the Moroccans have their second goal in group b
11:41and that goes long and distant
11:46pretty soon
11:50this will be big line for a final time well that's it
11:55there's no more minutes than just over five
11:58so
