00:00Since then, while four players from Zesco were there, although David Simukonda has since left them.
00:09And it's Samalek who get the game underway.
00:14On this challenging surface, there was actually a game on the pitch here yesterday.
00:23Even so, a week later, he retains his first team place and there, through on goal come Zesco.
00:30And good goalkeeping there from Soliman, to snuff out the danger, Mander, well, could he have done better there?
00:40He was one-on-one with the keeper.
00:45They are not intimidated at all.
00:48They don't seem to be taking things easy now that they're no longer in the competition.
00:54Poor touch that from Asumu, and a chance for Samalek to get the ball away,
00:59but they can't really get out at the moment.
01:04Cross into the box, looking for the man on the back stick and a chance to shoot.
01:09Still, Samalek struggle to get the ball away.
01:23Back comes Zesco, on the ball again.
01:27Mander, free out on the right flank.
01:29What can he do with his cross?
01:31Goes out for a corner.
01:37Well, a really positive start, this, from Zesco.
01:42The nine-time Hafez to swing it in, right-footed, and that's an easy catch for Opio Amondi.
02:01No pressure on him at all, and a chance then for Ciencombo to come away down the left-hand side.
02:08Zesco attacking in numbers.
02:11Oh, is that slightly over-hit?
02:17Ciencombo holds his ankle with Shin.
02:22Madi.
02:24Well...
02:25He's holding his face.
02:40It's a slightly over-hit pass, this.
02:45It was there to go for.
02:47Zesco chipping it forward, and that's a good move in down on the left-hand side to the back post.
03:04Chance here for Mander, and he just seems to cross it back into the area.
03:09There was no one there at the back post.
03:11I don't know if he was trying to find Hivert in the middle.
03:17It was a great break down the left-hand side.
03:24Well...
03:29Corner, an outswinger, flicked on at the near post.
03:34Now a chance for Cabasso, swings it all the way back to the corner taker.
03:38And another chip in there, and headed six yards out, and it's gone over the bar.
03:47Oh, he should have done better.
03:53Well, Mutoshi Luka found himself unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box.
03:59Great play from Siakombo, and he just couldn't get it down.
04:07On his right foot, clipped in.
04:11Luka rose high.
04:14And behind him...
04:15Maddy then, with his muddied yellow sock.
04:28Maddy then, with his muddied yellow sock.
04:28And that is the end of the first half.
04:41It is 0-0 here in Undola.
04:45Zambian's Zesco have had the better of things against the Egyptian giants, Zamelek.
04:54They came closest, right towards the end of the first half, when Mutoshi Luka,
05:03right on the edge of the six-yard box, free, put his header over the bar.
05:08And so, Zamelek, the only unbeaten team in the group D, would need only a draw away to Zamelek
05:26in the final group match next week to secure top spot in the group.
05:31We have a change for Zamelek.
05:39Number 17, Mohamed Shehata, has come on.
05:47And it is Yusuf, number 21, who has gone off.
06:01Hivert, down the left-hand side.
06:09Cuts inside on his right foot, puts it over to the back stick.
06:14And nobody was there.
06:19Zesco sometimes have undone their own good work by not getting enough bodies in the box.
06:25Amacossi had looked in trouble after their first two matches.
06:39Losing and drawing.
06:41Oh, and a great ball across the six-yard box there.
06:53Turned into the back post.
06:55And it's given offside.
06:58Well, we'll need to take a second look at that.
07:02Ciancombo, a right smile on his face.
07:04Well, it came out of nothing.
07:12Hivert won the ball there using his strength.
07:15Went down the right-hand side.
07:17And yes, Ciancombo.
07:22Lovely little through ball in there into the six-yard box again.
07:27Crowded out by the packed ranks of white shirts in defense.
07:31Now, Asumu, he throws it in.
07:35Good control at the back post.
07:37Oh!
07:38And he's given the penalty.
07:43Emmanuel Manda controlled the ball at the back post.
07:48Cut inside.
07:53There seemed to be contact.
07:55He went down.
07:58It'll be interesting to see the replay.
08:00How much contact was there.
08:04He celebrated like someone who felt he'd achieved something.
08:10There's the cross to the back post.
08:15And, well, Kedri, he does go in on Manda's right leg on his ankle.
08:22The team's top scorer in the competition this season.
08:30And he drills it into the back of the net and then thumps in the rebound as well before he's pushed over by goalkeeper Maddy.
08:451-0 to Zesco United.
08:491-0 to Zesco United.
08:51It's the absolute least they deserve.
08:55They have dominated this match for near on an hour.
08:59Manda created several good chances.
09:04And as Maddy dived to his left.
09:08Well, I mean, Iver coolly placed the ball.
09:14Actually, my goodness, that was close to being saved.
09:18He went to Maddy's left.
09:21But Maddy just dived past the ball.
09:23And then it's not an easy pitch to take three kicks on.
09:36And they pass it wide.
09:38And it's charged down.
09:44Still several Zamanek players left up.
09:53And we're going to have...
09:56And here come Zamanek down the left-hand side.
10:04Well blocked there.
10:09Oh, he's hit the top of the crossbar.
10:12My word.
10:14With just over a minute of time added on left.
10:19The header there.
10:20And it's the big centre-back, Abdel Majid.
10:30He gets up highest.
10:32There were two players on the line from Zesco.
10:36Desperately getting back.
10:40And it just clips the top of the bar and goes over.
10:44What drama right at the end of the game.
10:47Just seven or eight yards out.
10:50And Zesco have managed it.
10:55They win 1-0.
10:57Their first points of the group stage.
11:00And they get them against the giant Zamanek.
11:04Five times champions of Africa.
11:07Two times winners of the African Confederations Cup.
11:11One-time winners of the Cup Winners' Cup.
11:13And look how much it means to those Zesco players.
11:18It's been a hard learning process for them in the competition.
11:22One-time winners of the Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners' Cup Winners
