00:00to be a cracker
00:04the whistle goes and
00:06kicking off from right to left
00:08it is a USM Algeria in their white kit
00:12unbeaten in the group stages
00:14and it just shows you how strong the Algerian side are
00:19finalists in 2015
00:24USM very keen to get a full contingent back
00:27they might not need one though
00:29as they try to get in behind the defence
00:33it can't be stressed enough how important that's been
00:36at least in the group stages
00:37the knockout competition though
00:40very different prospect altogether
00:42as the ball just gets played back to the goalkeeper
00:44he has to hoof it away
00:45excellence taking it around the defender
00:49Mbala gets the ball in
00:50and it's down the throat
00:52of Osama Benbo
00:56there's Haetem Lusif
00:58he gets it along the ground into his midfielder
01:02manages to glide past the defence
01:06Mnema just standing off of Husam Gacha
01:08and it could prove quite crucial and costly
01:11but Draman's effort goes wide
01:13the first note
01:15to Jordi Moukoko
01:20somehow USM come out with it
01:21it is intercepted and at good pace
01:23goes around the outside to Mbomba
01:25Mbomba with a decent looking delivery
01:27into the middle of the box
01:29should be the goalkeeper's ball
01:31yeah
01:31oh and he completely misses it
01:32and this is such a good chance for Mnema
01:38and they have Islil bodied
01:40into that challenge
01:42Clement Petruypa
01:44as well as Islam Merili
01:47and an absolute hash of it
01:48from goalkeeper Osama Benbo
01:53it's in the box
01:55likes of Jordi Moukoko
01:57the number six
01:57you can see him just
01:59flay to the edge
02:01it's going to go over everyone
02:02and might even allow USM
02:04a bit of a counter
02:05yeah
02:06again it's through the legs
02:07decent work by Ahmed Khaldi
02:09this is
02:13just the ball stolen off the legs
02:15and USM nearly felt that they could be in
02:19overlap
02:22Mnema deciding to go a little bit more direct
02:24they might try their luck
02:25yeah
02:27doesn't have a goal so far
02:28in his
02:31nine appearances so far
02:32this is tenth
02:35DBC player
02:40and going for that out swinging corner
02:44looking interested
02:46it's still kind of battle
02:47the ball dropping kindly though
02:50decent work there done by the
02:53menacing centre back
02:54and now
02:55first effort from range
02:59let's still be in here
03:01looking for the goal mouth
03:03and really decent trickery from Pimbi
03:05a lot more possession
03:10two shots to USM
03:12it's none
03:13according to official statistics
03:15although we do remember that
03:16one effort from Kamagate Draman
03:20two corner kicks
03:21it's really the passing
03:23which is standing out for the away side
03:34that's very well controlled into possession
03:38and across
03:40they still have it here
03:42strut comes in
03:43and it is a corner kick
03:49speed up their passing range now
03:51and
03:52completely lackadaisical defence
03:58might still come out for a corner kick
04:01straight to the opposing player
04:05now Mpindi
04:07just go over the top again
04:09brilliantly controlled by Mboma
04:11gets the ball in
04:13tries to go for the back post option
04:17still might come to Mboma player
04:19and the other is the opportunity
04:21Petrojpa goes across the line
04:27try and trebuchet it into the box
04:32does fall quite kindly
04:34and a smack
04:35calling for the penalty
04:36and it's given
04:41Jody Moukoko's lashed charm
04:43completely stunning the USM
04:45players
04:47very weak header out
04:49and Islam
04:50I have to say
04:51they've completely deserved
04:56with all the pressure
04:57that they put on the box
04:58final
05:02Clement Petrojpa
05:03which way is he going to go
05:05Osama Benbo making himself
05:06big in the goal
05:08Petrojpa slams it to the right
05:10and it's 1-0
05:15a perfectly placed penalty
05:19and for all their efforts
05:22there's Maniema Union
05:26more than deserved
05:27this goal advantage
05:29breaking the deadlock
05:30in this crucial quarterfinal
05:32an exhilarant Lubumbashi stadium
05:35carried
05:37just look at the quality
05:39on that penalty
05:39side footed
05:40to the bottom right hand corner
05:42to certainly be enjoying themselves
05:44all the clad in orange
05:46and they
05:46will not want to be
05:48going in 1-1 in half time
05:50have to defend this properly
05:51and a very decent punch
05:53by the goalkeeper
05:53but
05:54he died
05:56he actually was just ticking away
06:02Borma
06:02Borma gets around his defender
06:04surely an opportunity
06:05over a second
06:06how on earth has he missed that
06:08how on earth has he missed that
06:16Borma doing absolutely everything
06:20oh that's even
06:21painful
06:28and there is the half time whistle
06:32what a captivating half it has been
06:35Maniema Union
06:36all over USM Alger
06:38in terms of possession
06:39in terms of chances
06:43he's onto the pitch
06:45so two changes early on
06:47for Lamindia's side
06:50Mohamed Abouderbala
06:52and Ibrahim Benzaza
06:54onto the field
06:57trying to do something
06:59a little bit differently here
07:01and rescue a situation
07:03which almost 35 minutes
07:05can really change the game
07:06on its head
07:08depending on what kind of
07:09instructions come through
07:11oh this could be
07:14something absolutely
07:15catastrophic
07:20and we'll see
07:21because there was no offside flag
07:29it would be fascinating to see
07:31what the pass
07:33it's no good to just get that
07:36visual
07:41the foul is obvious
07:42and that's an absolute clattering
07:45it's an undoubted penalty
07:48so the referee's made the decision
07:50and he's been given it
07:51by the VAR officials
07:52however
07:54he wasn't shown
07:56the moment
07:57where the ball was released
08:00so we'll never know
08:01if there was an offside goal
08:04Karen Lubumbashi
08:07Kaldi going to be taking it
08:09with his left boot
08:11always the risk
08:12that he hooks it around
08:15the crowd trying to put him off
08:16can he keep his composure
08:20Ahmed Kaldi takes it
08:21into the roof of the net
08:25and it's 1-1 here
08:30and USM
08:32have returned
08:34the favour
08:36and it's one penalty apiece
08:38and it's 1-1
08:44we've also got
08:45Onoya Sangana
08:47who we've hardly mentioned
08:48in the game so far
08:50he'd like to get his name
08:51on the score sheet
08:52it's a whipped in corner
08:53goes across the box
08:54and headed out
08:55by Kaldi
08:59still keep it alive
09:01and now a chipped ball
09:01goes at a side-footed finish
09:04into the bottom right-hand corner
09:07and Ahmed Kaldi
09:08left-footed
09:10into the top right-hand corner
09:12of the goalkeeper
09:13oh no this could be
09:14absolutely terrible
09:15oh wow
09:20and the flag does come up
09:22this time
09:27much to the saving graces
09:30hassled on it
09:30by Gacha
09:35maybe
09:36Manjema can do the same here
09:38forcing a corner kick
09:40here
09:40the youngster
09:44possibly as
09:45players tire
09:45and try and let the ball
09:47do a little bit more
09:47of the work
09:48this is exactly
09:49the kind of theme
09:50we're going to be seeing
09:51that's excellent running
09:52there from
09:52Jean-Cybombe
09:55and he's done very well
09:56to earn his side
09:57a free kick
09:57in a dangerous position
09:59ballkeeper
10:03with his right boot
10:05or is it going to be
10:06Mbala with his left
10:09looks like it is going to be
10:10the experienced head of
10:12oh no it is Mbala
10:13oh it's brilliant delivery
10:14and it's a brilliant goal
10:18the captain has done it
10:20Mwanda
10:22has forced the ball in
10:26and what an excellent
10:29cross that was
10:30from Obin Mbala
10:32on debut in the competition
10:34to get his first assist
10:38we'll see it again here
10:39keeps himself in line
10:42and his is the final boot
10:46just an excellent
10:50little bit of passage of play
10:53barely visible
10:55in these conditions
10:59torrential conditions
11:00in fact
11:04makes for a fascinating
11:06last third of this game
11:09ball does come
11:12thing
11:12trying to combine with
11:14the other substitute
11:14with their Bala
11:18just didn't seem to time
11:19his run
11:20or did he
11:21flag hasn't gone up
11:23and effort comes in
11:25they celebrate the goal
11:26but now
11:27the red and yellow
11:29does make an appearance
11:33you can see
11:34even daylight
11:35between him and the defense
11:38judging the
11:39line
11:40absolutely
11:40expertly
11:41and this should be
11:43quite
11:46collect themselves
11:47and just
11:48accept that decision
11:50still remains
11:512-1 to the host
11:52but for how long
11:54it could be 2-2
11:55excellent save
11:57still alive
11:57and again
12:00and finally
12:01the shot comes
12:02into the path
12:02of the
12:03it's absolutely
12:05stunning to see
12:08I don't mean that
12:09in a
12:10very good term
12:11almost euphemistically
12:12oh they could be
12:13in here again
12:14oh no it's off the post
12:18how on earth
12:19did that stay out
12:20again
12:21double his
12:22goal tally
12:23for the afternoon
12:24he thought he'd
12:25done everything
12:26he was almost
12:26ready to celebrate
12:30using a little bit
12:32more ingenious
12:33maneuvers
12:34to get the ball
12:35away
12:35well that's a
12:36brilliant raking
12:38pass
12:38not wired to
12:40Khaldi
12:41Khaldi still has it
12:42and he still goes
12:43for it
12:43and he just can't
12:45get anything
12:46under the ball
12:46still firmly
12:48behind their team
12:50Maniema Union
12:50up 2-1
12:53as the injury
12:54time
12:56seems to be
12:56benefiting USM
12:57Algeria in terms
12:58of where they have
12:59the ball
12:59it does come in
13:01oh and it could
13:02be a run
13:03in the path
13:04of Ahmed Khaldil
13:05to keep it alive
13:06by Hossam Gacha
13:10and just
13:11centimeters
13:13and they
13:15probably could
13:16throw everyone
13:17at it
13:17given the fact
13:18that the ball
13:19can't go more
13:20than three meters
13:22but that is
13:23the final whistle
13:24it finishes
13:252-1
13:26to Maniema Union
13:28in a rain-soaked
13:30Lubumbashi
