00:00We kick off.
00:07Al Masri and Samalik.
00:22Confederation Cop, as I say.
00:27So the free kick is plagued in deep into the box.
00:34Try to work it back round with Osama Zemraoui.
00:38But the clearance, and now on the break.
00:43Samalik.
00:46Down the left.
00:49Francisco...
00:51Less margin for error with those two points to make up.
00:55Now the Gledi Lelepo goal for Kaiser Chiefs earlier on today in Durban, as I say, has put Kaiser Chiefs on to seven.
01:07Samalik in the all blue.
01:13Just bringing it away there, but Al Masri putting the pressure on again.
01:18And it will keep us there.
01:23A draw would really leave things very much in the balance for them.
01:30The White Knights.
01:37Claiming the core minute mark.
01:39You get the feeling that Samalik are really alive to the urgency of going for the win here.
01:46That's cut out.
01:56And now on the break.
01:58Can he get through?
01:59Well, there's a good tackle there.
02:03Blue.
02:05The White Knights.
02:10And a shot well over there.
02:21Well, did them temporarily to second, so...
02:25Both of these sides know they have to...
02:30Go for the win.
02:35Samalik...
02:37Being crowded out once again.
02:39Well, there's a tussle there.
02:41He's given the penalty, has he?
02:44Well...
02:47Down.
02:50He did clip his ankles.
03:01I think he might have just got a touch on the ball.
03:03A little bit difficult to see.
03:05A crowded penalty box, but Gonsalves is down.
03:08It was a pretty beefy challenge, to say the least.
03:11He steps up.
03:14Can he get Samalik to draw first blood in this all legitimate game?
03:19In this all Egyptian contest.
03:24Here he comes.
03:32And a low strike sends the keeper the wrong way.
03:36And it's 1-0 to Samalik.
03:40A penalty low to the keeper's left.
03:46Mahmoud Hamdi, times champions, a 1-0 lead here.
03:51With a penalty on 22 minutes.
03:55Stuttering run up and then just a neat low right foot shot.
04:01Sending the keeper off to his right and he just plants it.
04:08Well, just left of centre.
04:13A confident strike.
04:15Now Asma Al Mastri with a free kick.
04:17Midway inside the area, Osama Zimrowi.
04:31I know in fact was taken in the end by...
04:38It's a high one and well...
04:40And...
04:42They're claiming handball.
04:44And I think the referee has given handball.
04:46Penalty for Al Mastri.
04:48Loud complaints from Samalik and their coach.
04:55Well, the shot, the second shot there.
05:00Yes.
05:05Handball by Mahmoud Hamdi.
05:14It certainly appeared to hit him on the...
05:17Test of nerves.
05:23He's fired it into the top corner.
05:26A confident strike.
05:28A confident strike there.
05:39High into the top of the net.
05:43Giving the keeper no chance.
05:48Salah Mohsen's spot kick.
05:58No chance for the goalkeeper.
06:01It's one apiece.
06:02Al Mastri level things up.
06:04After 38 minutes.
06:07So a free kick out now on the left.
06:17And swung in as good as a corner.
06:20But it's cleared.
06:22The massed ranks of the Al Zamalik defence.
06:27More than capable.
06:28Both sides struggling really to...
06:30Get the better of their Egyptian rivals.
06:33Zamalik now coming forward.
06:34Can they...
06:36Get their noses back in front before the break?
06:40He's pushed out wide.
06:42His struggle is Karabia Ismaila.
06:45He's pushed out wide.
06:46He's pushed out wide.
06:47He's pushed out wide.
06:48He's pushed out wide.
06:49But...
06:51Even so.
06:52Oh.
06:53The better hand is down.
06:56Another niggling foul.
06:57A scrappy first half overall.
07:00Coming to an end.
07:03All square at one apiece.
07:10at one apiece. As we get started in this second half here in Port Said, Al
07:23Masri and Zamalek, they exchanged penalties in the first half and we now
07:34we'll see where newcomers to the party, Cleopatra our top early header just
07:45header over as again looking back earlier in 1986 can it possibly be I can
07:53just about remember the African Cup of Champions being won by Zamalek, Richie
08:02Barker whom I dimly, dimly remember. Egyptian Cups, Cap Champions Leagues 1984, 1986, 1993, 1996, 2000 under 2002 and now looking to
08:20win a third Confederations Cup after 2019 and 2024. Well that's over onto the roof of the net.
08:32New things to learn does us all good, 11 minutes we've had of this second half we're
08:42still locked at one apiece in this Total Energies CAF Confederations Cup, a very ambitious effort in fact
08:50in fact you know I beg your pardon they would go a point ahead
08:54they would go a point ahead of Kaiser Chiefs, Kaiser Chiefs level on points currently with Al Masri seven points
09:00Al Masri well technically are now on eight if we count this one up but anyway
09:14as I say for brevity purposes we'll try and keep things to short forms where we can
09:22we're into the final 20 minutes of this game for Kaiser Chiefs and six for Zamalek
09:36well the fans lifting their horse eagles, pharaonic eagles, oh minutes now which requires strong nerves and inspiration
09:50the corner from the left is floated in the keeper comes on the punch and misses it and it's it turned in for Zamalek
09:56it's Audrey from close range, I beg your pardon O'Day Mohamed Damak has scored and put Zamalek back in front
10:08with just under 15 minutes remaining here in Port Said
10:15the corner floated over from the left flank
10:25and O'Day

10:51well he just let it bounce
10:54O'Day
