00:01Rivers on the right in blue and Pyramids on the left of your screen in green.
00:09Much change.
00:12So we are underway in Yimba, playing from left to right all in blue.
00:16Pyramids, the African champions.
00:18And Yakemet, Ocon, and Sheyi Okutayo over it. It's taken and it's headed.
00:31You can see the concern of the Pyramids players as Hamdi does.
00:37Finally get back up to his feet, still holding his neck.
00:41I hope so last time around. This is better down the left-hand side.
00:45From Rivers into the middle it goes.
00:46And a first touch from Mahmugad.
00:48Gets enough on it but doesn't get it fully clear.
00:51And Rivers cannot turn in the rebound.
00:55Well, that was promising for the Nigerian side.
00:59Mahmugad got the save in.
01:04And Ani Akemi Owas who couldn't just get his shot in on target.
01:16And Ani Akemi again.
01:17And Ani Akemi again.
01:21And here they come again.
01:26Opportunity here for Pyramids to score.
01:28And they've not taken it.
01:30Yes, lifted over.
01:35Every single minute from round one all the way to where we are now.
01:40Ani Akemi takes it short.
01:43And he's going to get it back as well.
01:44Delivery deep.
01:45And headed back in.
01:46Well, he did really well to try and keep that alive.
01:50Nice run down the left-hand side by Hemdan.
02:04Into the middle it goes.
02:05And Masajic.
02:09Duke can't get anything on it.
02:11And Emmanuel can again.
02:18Hemdan who resting on it.
02:22Bolu hits it high up into the air.
02:27And this game just really yet to settle down and fight.
02:33No doubting.
02:35He thinks he's number one.
02:36Even though he is number 28.
02:38Bend on it.
02:39Well, it was asking to be attacked.
02:42Sheyi.
02:45And this is attacked.
02:46And it's a strike from distance from Duke.
02:48And for Rivers.
02:52And Ani Akemi.
02:56Sheyi.
02:59And he works the cross.
03:00And he's got players up ahead of him too.
03:02Well, there's going to be a break in play because
03:04that's a clash of heads.
03:05And the draft excluder.
03:06On a day that is very hot.
03:07Here it comes.
03:08The strike from the skipper.
03:09Oh, what power.
03:10From Steven Magno.
03:12from Steven Magno.
03:13Who becomes the first Rivers United player to score in the group phase of this Champions League.
03:17Group A.
03:18And how he did it as well.
03:19Thumptome.
03:20Thumptome.
03:21And Gadd.
03:22And Gadd.
03:23when he got a hand to it.
03:24But that wasn't enough.
03:25Because the power.
03:26And how he did it as well.
03:27Thumptome.
03:28And Gadd.
03:29When he got a hand to it.
03:30But that wasn't enough.
03:31Because the power was ferocious from Magno.
03:32And the pyramids are trailing.
03:33And their coaches are livid.
03:34And their coaches are livid.
03:37Nov объ育.
03:38And even if any fans have been there.
03:39You know what?
03:40On灰 적 left.
03:41To rate them a few most of us.
03:43And 5-0.
03:43mighty Pearson 2PERATED
03:46Nationwide.

03:49Group A.
03:50And how he did it as well.
03:51Thumptome.
03:52And Gadd.
03:54Well he got a hand to it.
03:55But that wasn't enough.
03:56Because the power was ferocious from Magno.
03:59Pyramids are trailing.
04:00And their coaches are livid.
04:01wei están 10 years ago back in 2017.
04:04They're coming forward here.
04:05looking to double their lead. It's loose and Rivers still have it and he again with the strike.
04:18Striker goal for Pyramids and drifting away.
04:30They've let that opportunity go. Wasagi that's a very important clearance and over the bar.
04:35Neat play again for Pyramids and Everton again with the strike. And Blockton behind.
04:53In swinger, out comes Asagi.
04:56Emanuel whose goal is the difference and what a goal it was.
05:00Efimi looking for Timothy Hamed. A good spell of possession this from Pyramids.
05:12Back into Hamed. Just drifting forward.
05:19So the two minutes are up. This will be the last chance.
05:22It will be very timely for Pyramids to draw a level.
05:28On Asagi comes.
05:29Nasen convinced it gets cleared away.
05:33It may well be returned with interest. Pyramids.
05:38Well, they don't have time to play it in because with two and a half minutes of the two additional
05:43minutes play. The referee is happy that that's enough for the first
05:52period.
05:52And it is the river skipper's goal.
05:58Revers United go in search of their first victory in the group.
06:07And what a feather in the cap who would be if it could come against.
06:12A lot of space on the left-hand side. Here it is. Pyramids with an early opportunity to get level.
06:19Which they cannot take early. In the half, Zico.
06:26Hamed.
06:29One of the reasons he was born with his versatility and he loves to get forward.
06:34Strike a goal. Just cannons off a Pyramids player.
06:37One of the reasons he was born with his versatility and he was born with his versatility and he was born with his versatility and he was born with his versatility.
06:53Many places will only be decided, I'm sure, in the final few minutes of the last games next weekend.
07:00Valentine's Day weekend, but unlikely to be hard.
07:15Oh, that's really well played down the left-hand side.
07:17Here come Pyramids looking for the equalizer. Space here must surely score and does.
07:23And that was superbly created. And the back of the net was found in real style as well.
07:37Mostafa Fatih sweeping home.
07:40And it was all about the pass out to the left-hand side that created the space. Then they had numbers over.
07:50And then the pick-up pass. That was it. That was the play that made everything happen.
07:54And look at that. First time finish.
07:59From Mostafa Fatih manages to keep it in.
08:03Timothy. Well, blocked by Malwan.
08:18Strike a goal.
08:19Just against the side netting. Well, some, I think, thought that was in, but it's a space.
08:25Shay often seems to find himself in space.
08:33And around the corner. This is promising from Pyramids.
08:40Charging forward. And that's an outstanding block.
08:45Really is. Nicely inside. Space on the left again.
08:50Pyramids. And they've got two on one over on that left-hand flank.
08:54If they're going to use it, they're shooting straight to a goal.
08:56Timothy. Just getting away.
09:00Shay inside him. Well, he put it into a dangerous area. It's just that no one was there.
09:05And Bomber a little bit behind.
09:08Malwan in the middle. So, too. Zico. Here is Malwan.
09:12And here is Zico. And Osagi just keeps it out. But for how long? Well, they scrambled it away.
09:18Efimi. Going in to get it clear.
09:23Well, Pyramids. So close to taking the lead.
09:31Fatih. Looking into Malwan.
09:35Everton. With the in-swing up.
09:44Osagi punches away again. And that's good strength from Mbobba.
09:51And then still he goes. And then try that.
09:54That's nicely played from Rivers. Strike a goal from distance. Well,
09:57Nani Akemi.
10:05On the charge. Very much.
10:08I see Mbobba. Well, that's up in the air. Is it going to come down? It should be okay for Osagi.
10:14But it's not fully away yet. Still we're in play. Osagi out of his goal.
10:19Trying to do his defensive work. Now managing to do so as well. Sticking to his task.
10:24There's still no place for Pascal Piri to come off the bench. The young Zambian. The new signing.
10:32El Nuhi. Yeah, Osagi comes. It doesn't gather. Opportunity here for Pyramids.
10:39Crucial deflection. But not enough because it came off a hand. And that is a penalty that has been
10:44awarded a yellow card. Instantly given out as well. That goes a chobby's way. Well, there was no
10:51hesitation. Marwan Hamdi to turn it around. Pyramids trailing in the first half.
11:02Are now leading in the second. And that was cool as you like from Marwan Hamdi.
11:07Marwan Hamdi. Everless film the Pyramids forward. And the African champions are marching on.
11:21They have really rallied in this second period. Mustafa Fatih with the equaliser.
11:28Marwan Hamdi. And then Hamdi. With a really good penalty.
11:39Nicely played. Ochobe. Good looking ball into the middle as well.
11:45Marwan Hamdi with the effort away. And then the strike coming in.
11:48Marwan Hamdi. Having some issues with the Pyramids bench today. The referees.
12:06Marwan Hamdi. Come on, Marwan Hamdi. Now, there was smartly played.
12:25Still Pyramids have it. Otto with the effort. Not much of an angle.
12:30back to Nasser, twinkling feet, chance for the goal, oh what a hit and what a way to seal the win
12:46because that was a thunderbolt to finally secure all three points for Pyramids and you can see the
12:57joy as well, it was the substitute, it was just come on Ode Fakuri and look at the joy that that goal has
13:09brought to his teammates, just on as a substitute as said, he only joined the club at the end of January
13:22the Jordanian, five minutes of additional time, into the middle it could get even worse here and it does
13:32they've scored a fourth in stoppage time, oh this is harsh on Rivers United but Pyramids are showing
13:39the class of African champions and it is Nasser Meher, the new boy from Zamalek who's got his
13:48second goal in as many Champions League games, a shake of the head from the Rivers United goalkeeper
13:57and in truth the scoreline a little tough on a side that we're leading at the break
14:05well that's a second
14:06goal for a substitute
14:13and Ode Fakuri was involved, having scored one, he's had a hand in
14:18it was cruel, a fifth really would be an injustice to the scoreline but it may well come
14:23it won't because that is it, the whistleblows and Pyramids have eliminated Rivers United once and for all
14:30from Group A of the Total Energies CAF Champions League, they have marched on to 13 points from their five
