00:05and we're underway as Manima bid to close out an impressive group stage campaign and reach
00:11the quarterfinals of an African competition for the first time facing this Nairobi team
00:17who are just playing for pride. Manima don't know for sure what they need to do but they
00:28have a good idea. Oh, the cross there.
00:38Here it goes. It's a deep one this time and there is the opening goal. Manima have struck Ernie in
00:45Lubumbashi
00:46which is exactly what they needed to do. Headed in at the back post by Benny Namboka.
00:53A man from Congo Brazzaville peeling away from the Nairobi defence and making absolutely no mistake
01:02with the finish. It's a good ball in again from Sangiana. And Manima.
01:14Lovely ball in. Keeper stayed on his line. And an emphatic header from close range from Benny Namboka.
01:28His first goal of the
01:35Kumboli.
01:38Well, he won't give the ball back. He'll just play on and this could be a chance for Manima
01:42and goalkeeper Oduor had to be alert to prevent a rather embarrassing...
01:55Decent flick round the corner but Lupini did well.
02:05Chance for a shot here and it's a decent low try as well.
02:08Well, well, well saved by...
02:13And that's a bit of a sloppy giveaway from Pindy.
02:17And two from Lupini. Although he reacts well to get a foot in and make the interception.
02:26Bit of a chaotic game so far.
02:29In goes the cross. Goalkeeper should come and the offside flag is up again against Sniper.
02:37And that's been lumped up the line perfectly by Mwanda.
02:44Namboka.
02:46You could play this from Manima. In goes the cross from Bala.
02:51It's a deep one towards the back post and the header didn't quite find a teammate from Moukoko but...
02:59Manima just building a spell of pressure here and it's worked nicely.
03:03And in goes the cross and there's a chance for a header for Namboka.
03:08And one that will live long in the memory of this young football club.
03:16The first ever point in the group stage at least would...
03:22Be a big moment for Nairobi United as well.
03:27That's a good ball forward. The flag has stayed down this time.
03:31Kick for Oceno.
03:42Decent ball forward and...
03:45Again, really lack composure once they've got into the final third.
03:55Not a great touch from Pindy and now Nairobi might be in again.
04:00That's better.
04:02Mwenyi. Chance. Saved by the legs of the goalkeeper and that's a really good block.
04:07And that was the closest Nairobi have caught the shot.
04:14But then when he did pull the trigger, completely scuffed it and allowed Ogundari.
04:28Pindy took a risk.
04:30Across came Moanda to cover.
04:33He's done well there. Although that's a terrible back pass chance.
04:37Surely this will be an equaliser. Oh, it's blocked by Lupini.
04:40Nairobi have made a right mess of that, but maybe they can get a chance again.
04:45Oh, it's terrible from Mwenyi. How did he not get a shot away?
04:49Somehow Nairobi pass up a guilt-edged opportunity to equal.
04:56Nairobi took far too long to pull the trigger.
05:01Somehow Manima still have their slender lead.
05:07Maybe the nerves are kicking in for Manima, although this would help settle them.
05:11And it has. Oh, it's a fun, fantastic finish from Benny Namboka.
05:18Manima is his second of the afternoon and just a couple of minutes after Nairobi should have equalised.
05:29Manima go 2-0 in front and it's Benny Namboka, the 21-year-old with a call.
05:37People have total control. It came from nothing, really. Just a hopeful ball forward.
05:43Flicked on by Petrojpa and seized upon by Namboka.
05:49It's really poor defending from Nairobi United. The two centre-backs getting in each other's way.
05:55Excellent touch, though, from Namboka. And a clever finish at Ottawa's near post.
06:04Did very well to get a free kick out of it.
06:08Wind-up.
06:10With a nothing ball forward, but it broke kindly for Sangana.
06:18Pulls it across towards Namboka.
06:27Petrojpa.
06:31Gets support eventually from Bala.
06:35And there's Bala again. Can he pull it across? He can.
06:38Chance maybe for Muko.
06:41Poor pass from Ocieng.
06:45And that's a much better ball.
06:46And forward come Manima.
06:48And there's two in the middle.
06:50Oh, and it's gone in for an own goal off Kevin Odewar.
06:54Really good play from Boma Kinder.
06:57It looked as if he should have managed to pull it back.
07:01But it didn't matter. The ball's gone in anyway.
07:05And Manima are romping into the Kaft.
07:11Are powering their way into the knockout phase of the Kaft Confederation Cup.
07:18History being made here today in Lubumbashi for them.
07:23He had options in the middle.
07:25May or may not have gone for goal himself.
07:27Kinder goal.
07:29And there is half time.
07:31And Manima.
07:35As it stands.
07:37Are cruising into the Confederation Cup quarter finals.
07:41Possibly top spot in the group might be on their mind right now.
07:46Two goals first.
07:48We're hoping that that can make some difference in the second period.
07:53Because that was a chastening first half for Nairobi United.
07:56Manima get us back underway.
07:58They're 45 minutes from a place in the Kaft Confederation Cup last eight.
08:06All they have to do now is.
08:13Hakita Mano beaten to the ball by Brian Mbala.
08:24And Moukoko gets a yellow card.
08:29Mzee has sent that one forward.
08:31And he's a good ball actually from Brian Mzee.
08:42He's a good ball.
08:43He's a good ball.
08:44He's a good ball.
08:44He's a good ball.
08:45And this is nicely worked by Nairobi again.
08:47Can they get a consolation goal?
08:48Not on this occasion.
08:50It's dragging.
08:51Strong work by Dumasie Lupini.
08:57Has to quickly get back in though.
08:59That's a really high foot.
09:00And well, Nairobi could be down to 10 men here.
09:05It was a really bad challenge.
09:10On Exousia Moanda.
09:13Find themselves three goals behind and down to 10 men.
09:18It's a really dangerous tackle.
09:21And a really needless one as well.
09:23He was never going to get the ball.
09:36And Bommakinda.
09:38And Bommakinda somehow got the ball to substitute Ozone.
09:42In goes the cross.
09:43Now it's a great ball.
09:44And that should be 4-0.
09:45And it's missed at the back post.
09:49that's a really good ball away goes and bomber kinder momentarily forgot to take the ball with
09:55him but here he is now cutting inside has plenty of options boccon bolly with so much time decides
10:03to go for gold chance maybe for a strike and that's a brilliant effort from kevin otti otti
10:20the crucial result proving to be that victory over we dad as they sail towards the quarterfinals
10:39bomba kinder boccon bolly and bomba kinder have linked up really well on the right-hand side for
10:48manima today and they're trying to do so again bomba kinder's cross is a great one and this should be
10:55four but it's a good yes they're going to lose six out of six but it still quite a story
11:03for
11:03a team who are playing in the kenyan second tier last season it could be four nil down in a
11:07moment
11:07though what a chance for four and it's a complete miss kick from triore it was heading wide before
11:13it was headed behind by ogutu he almost had too much time here triore
11:23five of nairobi six subs have managed to get on in this second half
11:29and experience the kaf confederation cup groups and scheme of things
11:37half-hearted appeal for handball in goes boccon bolly it's a good interception from him and here come
11:44manima again good goalkeeping it's the 2-1 victory here against we dad
11:49although this will fit this will taste just as sweet closing it out in style
11:58will it be three nil or maybe four and bomba kinder going for four and putting it
12:05nairobi united have not been able to deal with john c and bomba kinder the whistle
12:10manima union are into the quarterfinals of the kaf confederation cup they've done it in style
12:18three nil winners here today over nairobi united
12:21a double from benny namboka and one for john c and bomba kinder
12:27all coming in the first half more than enough
