00:01Salamou Sadak scored such an important goal versus Mianto Argan.
00:05We are underway here in Safi.
00:08It's Ouidad who had us kicked off wearing the red kits, attacking from right to left.
00:13Olympique Club Safi attacking from left to right.
00:17So the visitors immediately testing their opponents with a cross into the box.
00:23In your picture, he was right behind the challenge.
00:25Paniagua with the 13th minute.
00:29It's Moises Paniagua with the first real look on goal from open play.
00:35It's again the route one option which we've seen both sides employ now.
00:41Defenders turning into playmakers, so to speak.
00:46A little bit more than that.
00:4756% in favor to the visitors, so 43% for the hosts.
00:53That's a great bit of passing from Ouidad and the shot goes wide.
01:00I believe it was Ramiro Vaca who set up Bakasu in the open space.
01:06And that's a warning sign sent to Olympique Club Safi.
01:09Have to be careful.
01:11Can't allow for the midfielders to test their luck with that much time.
01:16Quite frankly, Josep Bakasu could have done better.
01:22He's won the free kick and it's going to be delivered in by Ramiro Vaca.
01:26Vaca's cross is great.
01:27Benyeder's header.
01:28And skied by Amin Abdul-Fad.
01:32What a delivery from Ramiro Vaca.
01:36Benyeder.
01:38Not the tallest fellow on the pitch, but his movement second to none.
01:45And Aboufat makes a mess of the finish.
02:02Benyeder.
02:03Falls before he can enter.
02:05The box with the ball at his feet.
02:07Benyeder.
02:08Swiped at it.
02:10With a left-footed volley.
02:13The effort goes wide, but Wissab Benyeder.
02:19Very active up front.
02:21The 35-year-old goal scorer.
02:31Goalkeeper Benyeder does not look secure or safe.
02:38He should be tested quite more.
02:44And it's a corner kick.
02:46You see a replay of this cross.
02:48Goes for the clearance, but lets it go through.
02:53Fortunately, Araouli doesn't anticipate the mistake, but...
03:03Thunderous atmosphere.
03:06Can't mess it up stadium.
03:10As OCS keep prodding, trying to get closer to goal.
03:14Atik again from the cross.
03:16Acrobatic effort.
03:17Oh, that would have been unforgettable.
03:21Sofia Nelmoudan pulled out the trick there.
03:28A bicycle kick that nobody had seen coming.
03:35And it doesn't miss by much.
03:39That comes off the heels of this athletic club.
03:44Go in, nil on a scoreline of 0-0.
03:48Very tightly contested affair that at times was lacking in offensive firepower.
03:53But what an exciting final five minutes to the half that really shows the potential in both these sides in
03:59breaking through.
04:01Strong defensive performances all around.
04:04Perhaps a little bit disappointing in terms of what we've seen from the forwards who haven't lit up the night.
04:11The first half that ended with real quality.
04:19So the final 45 minutes between these two sides.
04:22Their first ever encounter in the CAF Confederations Cup.
04:25The second half of the match.
04:32Houdad had the best chance of the match through, I mean, Abdul Fath, surely.
04:37But nearly conceded a wonder goal had Sofia Nelmoudan's acrobatic effort.
04:44Found the target of El Mehdi Benhabid, who's looking a bit shaky.
04:49Perhaps could be tested a little bit more.
04:53It's a wonder what Shokhi Hatoui told his players.
04:55He must be overall pleased with the showing he saw in the first half.
04:59They had a good amount of possession.
05:02More than they did in the group stages.
05:06Had some good chances as well.
05:09Oh, what a hail flick.
05:12From Meraouli and Moudan.
05:16One touch passing.
05:18It's a good give and go.
05:22In the end, perhaps it was an over-emphatic challenge by Amin Abdul Fath.
05:26But, and Mehdi Benhabid, the goalkeeper for Lewak.
05:31Hopped on.
05:32No foul Deems, Mohamed Mansour.
05:36Widat stopped in their stride by a good return.
05:40Aminadjati.
05:41Eraouli.
05:42Eraouli with the left button.
05:44Oh, it flashes across the second post.
05:47An action-packed 12 minutes in this second half at the 57th.
05:52Eraouli nearly gets Le Roquin ahead.
06:01Benhabid doesn't get a touch to it.
06:03He'll surely go out for a goal kick.
06:08And that was a challenge that appeared right before.
06:14And this was the incredible chance.
06:17Walid Nassi, the substitute.
06:20Instead of taking his chance and shooting on target, try to be altruistic and try to spread the ball wide.
06:30In the end, it didn't work out.
06:31Walid Nassi, he too likes to take on his man.
06:37Cross is late.
06:38And the goal comes from Lewak.
06:40Chateau Rouge grabbed the opener.
06:43And it's Ramiro Vaca.
06:48The Bolivian international grabbing his first goal in the Confederation Cup.
06:53And he celebrates in front of the faithful supporters in the away end.
07:07A lot of credit has to be given to Walid Nassi.
07:12Who started sprinting, waited until the final moment to send in that cross.
07:16Just when the ball was about to cross the line, really.
07:23And Urapi Klopsefi's defenders released a little bit.
07:26A lapse in concentration.
07:27You can see they go static.
07:31While Ramiro Vaca was in movement.
07:37And the winter signing provides the goods in March.
07:43An all-important away goal for Huidad.
07:50And they are up.
07:52Scooped cross, two.
07:54And Morsley, he's going to hook it back into the box.
07:58And Benébide doesn't capture.
08:01Oh, the cross, the touch is completely missed.
08:04And it's a two against one for Lewak.
08:08Anourie.
08:12Squandered the opportunity.
08:13Good return from Imadzer Bouds.
08:15But Vaca could have been a little bit more selfish.
08:19Or was there a handball?
08:21Let's see.
08:26Salah Musadak, who defended with his hands.
08:29Here comes Safi.
08:39Oh, they find the pulse in the back of the net!
08:42Salah Edina Raouli!
08:47And the stad al-Masira erupts!
08:55And quite frankly, he deserves it!
08:59The winger has been enterprising all match.
09:04And he gets a little bit of fortune.
09:10To cut the lead.
09:11To cut the lead.
09:12And it's now all square between Olympic Club Safi and Huidad.
09:17It's from a set piece.
09:19Kuné involved.
09:20He goes to battle.
09:22It's popped up.
09:23And off the half volley, Salah Edina and Raouli.
09:28Etches his name into a little bit more history.
09:31The first goal scorer in the Confederation.
09:34They're going to be giving it their all until the final second.
09:37Until the final whistle, that is.
09:40Vaca.
09:41His touch is great.
09:42There's space on the right for Nassi.
09:44Is he going to go for goal?
09:45Nassi!
09:47Wali Nassi!
09:48Wali Nassi!
09:50It's absolute cinema!
09:58He absolutely rifled it underneath Hamza Hamyami.
10:03You can never count out Huidad.
10:07There's just something about this club.
10:09It's intangible.
10:10Rki Nassi and Rki Nassi!
10:13Lassi!
10:15Champion.
10:17Flows in their blood.
10:22And Urapi Club Safi will be biting their nails.
10:26So upset that this is how the match is going to go.
10:29The result...
10:30They did so well, came within perhaps a couple of good passes
10:34from even creating a chance to go up 2-1,
10:36and in the end, they concede.
10:37beautifully worked between Vaka
10:39and Owasti and Nasi
10:43who had the composure
10:45to find the target
10:46Hamza Miami should have done better there
10:49it's a goalkeeping mistake
10:52it's a howler
10:53but in the end it won't matter
10:57for Widad
10:58who they'll get the goal out
11:04that is a potential
11:09and reviewable play
