00:00The Confederation of African Football's Anthem rings out around this cavernous arena.
00:14It is coming and we are underway. Petro in yellow shirts playing from right to left.
00:20Simba all in white from left to right. Both sides desperately in need of...
00:25Angolian title.
00:30Really hoping his side can find some goals.
00:34In it goes.
00:35Thiago Reis a little push and then Toro with the strike.
00:38Well, there was a dinked effort into the middle that got cleared away.
00:47And now finally a little bit of space for Simba.
00:51An opportunity to come forward again.
00:53Well, striker goal came in and it came in early.
00:56Dennis Kibu.
00:57Now, Fonso.
01:00Costinha to his left and he uses him.
01:04Thiago Reis in the middle.
01:06Doesn't come through to him.
01:10Tanja forward.
01:13Lovely control from Kipombe.
01:16Up against Fonso.
01:17Into the middle.
01:17Lovely looks and that's really attacked well by Dennis Kibu.
01:22Unable to get it on target.
01:29So, Benny with the delivery.
01:32Up goes Pinto.
01:33Well, what a way to return to your club.
01:37You've been away for just over seven months.
01:40And in your first game back, you find the back of the net with barely minutes on the clock.
01:46Pedro Pinto announcing his return in the finest of style.
01:50And Petro finally have fouled a goal for the first time since match day two.
02:01So, ending a run of over three hours without a goal.
02:06And no wonder they are smiling.
02:10And that is why.
02:13Close from three seasons ago.
02:18And prior to today, he had just the two goals in the Champions League.
02:22He now has three from 33.
02:23And Simba showing some spirited fight.
02:32Into the middle it comes.
02:34Kibu cannot keep it down.
02:37Oh, that's as good an opportunity as they're possibly going to get.
02:42And when they come, you're...
02:45Fonso again.
02:47That's nicely played.
02:49And here is Costinha going up against Kipombe.
02:51And then Kipombe just wrestles his opponent to the floor.
03:00And the...
03:03Simba.
03:05And Simba, very lucky that number of their players got an inadvertent touch to take it in behind.
03:13Kibu with the clearance from the corner.
03:16Still Simba come forward.
03:18Sorry, Petro come forward.
03:19Across the face of goal.
03:20Touch on Pinto.
03:22And Thiago Reis cannot turn it in.
03:27That's how close he was to number six of the campaign.
03:32Just a little flick.
03:34And I think he did get...
03:35For Petro to double their advantage.
03:41That's a beautiful skill.
03:43Nelidio.
03:44Thiago Reis.
03:46Striker goal for the Brazilian.
03:52Well, they are causing problems with their set-piece deliveries.
03:55What can this one do?
03:55Benny again.
03:57Benny again.
03:57To go wide on this occasion.
04:00And trying to get it out to the right-hand side.
04:03That's neatly played.
04:04Now have they got options in the middle?
04:05They do.
04:06Just about.
04:07Across the face of goal.
04:08Toro it was.
04:09That would have been easy to convert.
04:13And he was just playing the percentages.
04:15Jonathan Toro.
04:19Knocking it across.
04:22Simba players.
04:23Six points clear again after 13 games in the league.
04:26Winning, sorry, winning 11, drawing two.
04:31Doing pretty well on the goals front as well.
04:3328-4, just the 10 against.
04:39And they're coming forward again here.
04:41But the offside flag goes.
04:47Toro.
04:50Clipped ball in.
04:52Duriik with a touch away.
04:54Here's Alidio.
04:55Onto his left foot, Alidio.
05:01Well, he apologizes for taking the shot.
05:03But fairly central.
05:05He thanked Stellenbosch greatly.
05:08And he said he was grateful to the club for helping open the door.
05:17Well, Kapombe in behind.
05:19And Benny with an important intervention.
05:22Toro finds him again.
05:24Well, surely Thiago Reis is offside.
05:28He is.
05:31Over 10 points clear at the top of the table.
05:33Young Africa's also got a fair few games in hand as well.
05:37Not fully cleared at the back.
05:38Petro.
05:39Thiago Reis.
05:40Straight at Maumadu Tanja.
05:43Just muzzled off it by Kapombe, but the shot comes in for Melidio.
05:51Can't keep it down.
05:52Can't guide it on target.
05:54But the chance is beginning to add up.
06:01A yellow card that's being shown.
06:03And it looks like a red card as well.
06:14And it's Kapombe.
06:17The skipper.
06:17Half-time whistle blows and it has been a good, solid half for Petro Atletico.
06:28Manala Yannick gets us back underway.
06:36Petro.
06:36Costinho with the delivery.
06:41At the back stick.
06:42And they cannot convert.
06:43But they might do so now.
06:44Chance for Thiago Reis.
06:46Blocked from Durieck.
06:48It stays 1-0.
06:49Really important intervention from the South African.
06:54With the peroxide here.
06:57To deny Thiago Reis.
07:00His sixth of the campaign.
07:02And selfishly found by Benny.
07:07And even though Maumadu Tanja.
07:08The need forever.
07:11Perennially.
07:12South African champions.
07:15Nicely curved ball.
07:17Towards Hossi.
07:18Into Elidio.
07:19Who's straight offside.
07:20I'd like to see that one again though.
07:22He was certainly ahead of Durieck.
07:24Whether he had gone across.
07:30Though he's been around the block of the leading Tanzanian sides.
07:34As I'm aside.
07:36In recent times.
07:40An offside.
07:42Victory.
07:44Will lift them.
07:45Joint top of the group.
07:48Second on goal difference behind Stade Marlien.
07:50Unless it can get more.
07:53Hossi.
07:54Need to start doing so as early as they can.
07:58Free kicks and set pieces.
07:59Corners and the like.
08:01Offering up a really good way to get back into this game.
08:04As Durieck goes up.
08:05Offering up a really good way to get back into this game.
08:07Hossi.
08:07Hossi.
08:11Chama.
08:13Cross blocked by Hossi.
08:17And Elidio forward.
08:21Thiago Reis.
08:22Who started that all with a tackle.
08:25Waiting to try and get in on the end of something.
08:27But Tanja will gather.
08:28Here he is.
08:35Nicely played again to work the space.
08:39Alfonso with the strike.
08:43Doesn't go far.
08:45Costinha trying to play it into the mixer.
08:46Well this is bouncing everywhere until.
08:56Ura.
08:57To Luemba.
09:02Nicely played by Luemba.
09:04Ura.
09:04There's no one in the middle.
09:13Arms all over the Simba player.
09:15And then that's got to be offside.
09:17Well he left it in the end.
09:18And I'm not sure if the player coming through.
09:20We go into the final quarter of the game.
09:22Well Barry set up the opening goal.
09:25From a free kick on the other side of the pitch admittedly.
09:29Trying to see if he can find Pedro Pinto again.
09:31But attempt to fashion an unlikely equalizer.
09:34They've gone for goal.
09:38And for a moment Ugo.
09:41Alfonso.
09:45No room to deliver the cross.
09:47And it's into Thiago Reis.
09:49Header.
09:50Well.
09:51He managed to get there first.
09:53But.
09:54Hard to.
09:56Find the power of the cross.
09:57A little bit behind him as well.
09:59Thiago Reis.
10:01Very much.
10:02Well still they've got a good opportunity here.
10:03Benny.
10:04Benny with the strike.
10:05And kicks up and bounced awkwardly.
10:08And away.
10:10And it stays.
10:11They've played some nice triangles today.
10:14Petro.
10:15They've lost out there.
10:16In a dangerous area of the pitch as well.
10:19Maligo.
10:20There's a deep cross on if he can do it.
10:24Losing the power to play the pass.
10:27Ura.
10:27Well that's well played.
10:29Mualimu.
10:31Is this the moment for Simba?
10:32Into the middle it goes.
10:33Oh that's brilliant goal.
10:35Absolutely fantastic.
10:37The ten men of Simba.
10:38They've drawn level.
10:39With ten minutes on the clock.
10:42And it's the substitute.
10:43Alicet Ura.
10:44After a really good ball into him.
10:47From Soleimani Mualimu.
10:51Well they have been playing since before half time.
10:54A man down.
10:56And Petro have had chances.
10:58And Simba have had few.
10:59This is only their second of the game.
11:02And how they have made it count.
11:05It's not going to be enough to keep them alive in the competition.
11:08Because they need one more.
11:10But look at this.
11:11This was the pass.
11:12They really made it.
11:14Ura opening it up.
11:15So much space from Mualimu.
11:16And then the ball back in.
11:18A delight.
11:18And he did really well.
11:27Petro need this to go in.
11:29When it's not fully cleared.
11:37As Petro look for the goal.
11:38It's brilliantly saved.
11:40Oh that is outstanding from Tanja.
11:42Petro so so close.
11:46And look at this.
11:49Good header there.
11:50Fine volley there.
11:52And look at the strength of the left hand here from.
11:56With safe possession of the ball.
12:01Well that is it.
12:03A point apiece.
12:04And it suits neither side.
12:07Simba will no longer be able to reach the quarterfinals.
12:10They are eliminated.
12:11That's it.
12:27That's it.
