00:00Try and seek a first place in the knockout stages of the Total Energies CAF Champions League.
00:07Bekan on the right of your screens.
00:10And with Rivers United going well in the Nigerian League, we are underway on match day six.
00:16The final one in Group A of the CAF Champions League as Bekan seek the win that will take them
00:24into the knockout phase against Rivers United of Nigeria.
00:26Bekan playing from left to right in there, Copper can't do this again.
00:34Good strength from Meri, forward into Lamliwi, looking for Paul Basset.
00:40Basset on the spin, here is Basset.
00:42Well, he's got the ball in the back of the net, but it is not going to count because the
00:47referee's whistle had already blown.
00:50You can see the decision of the assistant referee.
00:54Well, that's not offside.
01:00Well, that is marginal.
01:03Well, Basset can consider himself pretty unlucky.
01:06It'll be well worth seeing that again.
01:16Confirmation of the card for Mboma Chigiocke.
01:20And as Bekan may ground down the left-hand side, Duque just happy to hit that into the stance.
01:29Well, when they come forward and have space on the flanks, they do look dangerous, Bekan.
01:35And just a few passes away from creating some clear opportunities.
01:39It doesn't always come off, of course.
01:40That's a lovely ball in, Lamliwi, unable to get any contact despite the despairing dive.
01:47Yes.
01:56Out his line, very well.
01:59To beat the offside.
02:13Sidibe.
02:18Sidibe.
02:22Sriya scored that late, late winner in Nigeria a few months ago.
02:30Lamleoui, he could have taken it, and he thought somebody was behind him,
02:34but still the pressure's on for Bekan.
02:36Strike at goal, straight at the goalkeeper, Meri Iwaz, who got it away.
02:46Pretty routine save for Osagi.
02:53But a solid strike on a goal nonetheless from Bekan.
02:58Chances are mounting up five now.
03:01Rivers yet to have an effort either on or off target.
03:07Well, this is promising again from Sriya.
03:10He's got Lamleoui inside him.
03:11Still Sriya jinking, twisting, driving, and just flashing it past the goal.
03:19Asal lofts it forward to Basset and will flick this on to Lamleoui.
03:22Gets it back from Lamleoui.
03:25Well, it was a little unnecessary, the back heel.
03:28There's space as well for those two just to interact,
03:30which they have been doing well so far in the game.
03:34Overly complicated from Lamleoui.
03:36Wins it back, nice footwork that.
03:39Candus.
03:43Sadil into Asal.
03:47Threads one through to Shuiya.
03:49Shuiya.
03:51Here's Elahe Tam.
03:53Shuiya having switched wings.
03:58Can be a real live wire.
04:03And he does well.
04:05Let's do the Rivers United defence as well.
04:11Sidibe.
04:23Salah again over the top.
04:25Nicely weighted again.
04:26Beautiful pass out from the central of the backhand defence.
04:30And striker goal takes a deflection.
04:31And that's why Osagi was standing there as the ball flew past him.
04:37It's tough on Rivers United.
04:38But it is the goal that Bakan absolutely crave.
04:43In a game that they have to win, they have taken the lead.
04:47And their hopes of reaching the knockout phase have improved immeasurably.
04:53Especially with Dynamo's losing in Cairo as well.
04:59Well, there's the little celebration.
05:03Another beautiful pass out from the back from Asal.
05:07And then look at this.
05:08The strike.
05:14Osagi just left with no chance.
05:20Follow up to Mboma.
05:21Follow up to Mboma.
05:38Y Verse 37.
05:39Is being very firm in his decision making the Libyan.
05:42Is being very firm in his decision making the Libyan.
06:06Looking for Basin, Basin is in, can make it too.
06:10He does not miss the Senegalese.
06:13And how important could that goal be to Beccant
06:17in their hopes of going through to the knockout phase
06:20because it's the clutch goal, the one that gives them the cushion.
06:26Two goals at the end of the first half, putting Beccant in the box seat.
06:31And Basin as his second of the group phase and his fourth overall.
06:38And he took it expertly well.
06:43Teed up very, very nicely right through the middle.
06:48And he left Osaghi. Absolutely no chance whatsoever.
06:53Really nicely worked Beccant a goal.
06:56Well, that's enough for the first half from the Libyan official.
06:59And what a half it has been for Beccant.
07:03And again, they have to win to seal their place in the knockout phase.
07:06Well, it all started so well when that man, Yusuf Mehri, struck a goal.
07:10It took a big deflection off.
07:13His mission improbable here for Rivers United.
07:18To get anything from this game, which will suit Beccant down to the ground.
07:28And around the corner, very nicely as well.
07:31Lamlioui in the middle.
07:32So too Mehri.
07:33Here's Basin.
07:34Basin.
07:35Into Lamlioui again.
07:37Blocked.
07:38Once more.
07:45There's some lovely interplay.
07:47Flowing football going on from Beccant as their game progresses.
07:53And if they want a corner, they have.
08:02Nice to see the interaction between Basin and Schwerer, I think.
08:06His teammates must appreciate the way in which he's constantly looking for them.
08:12To bring them into play.
08:13Give others with a better shooting opportunity a chance.
08:22Make him a very popular individual in the dressing room, the 25-year-old Basin.
08:31Out swinger again.
08:32Candous.
08:33Again.
08:33And in it goes, the number three.
08:36And there's the celebration as well.
08:40And it's his second of the game.
08:44And Beccant are three goals to the good.
08:48And the three points are surely theirs as well.
08:50And a place in the quarter-finals is heading the Morocco's way as well.
08:55It is party time in Beccant.
08:58And thanks to Paul Basin, who was not going to miss from there.
09:04Candous knocking it forward.
09:06And even though he slipped, he recovered very quickly.
09:11To just steer that in.
09:13Flick it past Osagi.
09:17Well taken goal.
09:19Just a touch.
09:21Was enough.
09:22And the celebrations go on.
09:24And I was just saying how popular he was for his constant and selfish play.
09:33Mano.
09:35Wasiou with a little chest touch.
09:37And Sadio just safely back to Mafta.
09:59Touch coming on in.שה
10:11game. Almost
10:13got away. Ah.
10:15She turned
10:15from dying. And this
10:19game just petering out.
10:23the twist and turn got away from timothy zachariah and from simago duke
10:34nice lead controlled space here on the left hand side particularly for ria hey if he gets the ball
10:39here he does finally inadvertently into lamluwi and he gets a touch on this one but
10:45no power whatsoever it is a job done for rs beccan who in their first ever campaign
10:53in the total energies caf champions league have made it through to the knockout phase
