00:00It's up front. And Diar Kongo get us going on match day two.
00:05A tough task awaits against Cote d'Ivoire.
00:09The young leopards in light blue. The young elephants in the orange.
00:13They come in.
00:17Gamba's first goal.
00:20Two centre-backs, Kidiaka and Gamba.
00:24Really the players that you want and the goalkeeper's in all kinds of trouble here.
00:27Cote d'Ivoire putting the pressure on the flag.
00:31Looking at a 1-0 deficit at the break and instead it was two.
00:34Now that's been given away in the Diar Kongo defence.
00:37First chance to really get into the box.
00:40Yao, the striker, turns and gets it back across well.
00:43It's patted down by the goalkeeper.
00:45Big prize of qualification.
00:46Obviously, everybody wants to win this tournament.
00:49They want to keep going through the knockout stages and do the best that they can.
00:54If you can't win it.
00:55The next goal is definitely getting one of those spots at the FIFA under-70.
01:01Weizmann just making sure it was taken from the right spot.
01:04And Cote d'Ivoire can knock it into the defence.
01:06Send one down the middle.
01:08It's a foot race on and the goalkeeper's got to make sure he gets this right.
01:13Another heart-in-mouth moment.
01:17Playing on home turf.
01:18They've gone all the way to the final.
01:20Diabate's penalty saves helped them to a 4-3 victory over Ghana in that final.
01:25Having drawn nil-nil.
01:27That's a great ball into the middle.
01:28And it's tipped over the top well by...
01:31Romain Guy delivering the cross.
01:34The little slip in the defence allowed him to get the ball across with no pressure.
01:40Cote d'Ivoire looked capable of striking at any moment, though.
01:44Might be another free kick for Cote d'Ivoire when this ball is won back.
01:49The young elephants will keep it.
01:51And they'll move into the box.
01:52The pass out right.
01:56Bazongo drops it back.
01:57And the offside flag eventually is up.
02:02Like this, a very start of Boquilla.
02:04The captain from qualifying, Del Piero Nuntali.
02:08The top scorer in qualifying, not here.
02:10That's an excellent block from the shots.
02:13There's a tight angle on the right-hand side of the penalty area.
02:17But the d'Ivoire looked up a corner for his side.
02:24Weren't in there in the right place to get the ball first.
02:26Cote d'Ivoire will loop the corner into the box.
02:29It's up but not really away.
02:32It's lifted back into the middle.
02:33There could be danger here.
02:34It's low across.
02:36And does the flag stay down?
02:40It has come up to the rescue of d'Ivoire.
02:43Thought that they had the lead.
02:44We'll get a better look at it here.
02:46No doubt about it at all.
02:48Yao offside initially and offside.
02:54It's great technical quality from this Cote d'Ivoire side.
02:58There's another evidence of it.
03:01Shot wide of the side netting.
03:03The flag up in any case.
03:06It's going to be a left-footed delivery from Guy.
03:09We've seen one of these.
03:10It was good already tonight.
03:11This one way over the back post.
03:13But the goalkeeper was intent on making it his.
03:16He could have left it really.
03:18The chance still alive for now.
03:19And it's smashed away to some kind of safety.
03:22Anything really to do in the game.
03:25Before chasing this forward.
03:26They could be in behind here.
03:28Crucially, it's the Gamba who gets there first.
03:35That was a free kick.
03:38Does it want to strike directly?
03:41Yes, it is.
03:42And it's away.
03:45The woodwork has saved Diakongo.
03:49The spectacular free kick.
03:52Mambote flying to his right to try and keep it out.
03:57Goubert Yao has tucked the ball into the net at close range.
04:00But from an offside position.
04:03Mambote has made a couple of good saves.
04:09On the ball.
04:12It's a good turn.
04:15Maybe something can open up now.
04:17It's a defensive mistake.
04:18And the goalkeeper is there to clear up.
04:20Four courts.
04:22They will fancy their chances of grabbing the go-ahead goal in these last five minutes of the first half.
04:27That's absolutely sure.
04:31How can they go?
04:33Elika dispossessed.
04:35He's taken back over the captain's armband.
04:37Elika into the middle it goes.
04:39The shot is on target from Mbombo.
04:41Elika beaten by the drop of the shoulder.
04:45Play spread out to the right-hand side for Diabate.
04:48Defender slipped here.
04:49There's room for Diabate to strike.
04:51And the keeper had to get a solid palm to it.
04:54Hugo Mambote coming up with another big stop for Diabate.
05:00Diabate to the right-hand side for Diabate.
05:00Once Kidiaka slipped, he had so much time there.
05:06Free kick, Diabate to the right-hand side.
05:10Keepers out to get it.
05:11Gets a touch on it.
05:12But the goal's open at the moment.
05:13And if DR Congo can do something about it, the connection just not there.
05:18Four added minutes.
05:22On either team to fall behind just before the break.
05:26That pass is set up really nicely for Diabate.
05:29It's a gift for C么te d'Ivoire, but they can't do anything with it.
05:35See this out till half-time.
05:38They conceded late in game one.
05:40They've made sure they've avoided the same fate in game two.
05:44Diabate to go hold on until half-time against C么te d'Ivoire with the game.
05:50At nil-nil.
05:51Goalless first 45 minutes plus four additional.
05:54They're just about ready to go.
05:56Fingers crossed.
05:57And the second half kicks off eventually.
06:01C么te d'Ivoire in orange.
06:03Young Elephants on the ball against the Young Leopards in the light blue.
06:07It's goalless at the beginning of the second half.
06:11What difference have the team talks made from Denis McIntyre?
06:14One call on Tantou giving chase.
06:17C么te d'Ivoire circling around.
06:20Getting away with Maury Thumbia down the left-hand side.
06:24Guy, good cross into the middle.
06:25The goalkeeper's missed it.
06:27It's free at the back post and the goal is open.
06:29And C么te d'Ivoire finally hit the front.
06:33Just as they did in game one.
06:34They score early in the second half.
06:37And the Young Elephants have the lead.
06:43Hugo Mambote missed the cross from the left-hand side.
06:46There was a collision in the middle, which I'm sure will be looked at in the aftermath of this.
06:53And C么te d'Ivoire kept their composure.
07:00Simple stuff, but well worked down the left-hand side.
07:03There's the clash between keeper and striker.
07:07There's Hubert Yao foul the goalkeeper.
07:09Was it a 50-50?
07:12Mambote was not getting to the captain.
07:15Moving away to talk to the referee.
07:17We'll go over to the monitor to have a better look at this.
07:20Is there an offside down the left-hand side?
07:25The cross came in.
07:27There's the collision.
07:38From Mohamed Grafik Awina.
07:43We don't get to hear what he says, but we'll see the reaction.
07:47Oh!
07:51Nicely worked, but again, Congo can't hold on to it.
07:55Yeah, Congo in trouble when they get into the C么te d'Ivoire half.
07:58C么te d'Ivoire back on the front foot.
08:01It's blocked.
08:03Might bounce out for the corner.
08:05Goalkeeper's come all the way over.
08:07Might have just been better to leave that on me.
08:13First goal.
08:14Second half of game two.
08:17Makela gets it into the middle.
08:18It's headed on, and the goalkeeper has to pluck it out of the air.
08:22Diabate with his first big save of the night.
08:25Before he stuck it in the corner of the empty net.
08:29Down, of course, for the foul.
08:31Google Mambote.
08:33Diakongo keeper.
08:34It's a good through ball.
08:35Into the box they go.
08:36This, the clearest chance for C么te d'Ivoire, and it's wide.
08:42What a less buzz on go.
08:44That's a just tell...
08:46Noko at this point, just desperately hoping something will come his way.
08:51It's miscontrolled, but it's not brilliantly brought under control.
08:54Can they win it back cleanly there?
08:56Not this time.
08:57C么te d'Ivoire get it away.
08:59Now there might be room in behind.
09:00They'll slip the pass through.
09:02It's cleared initially.
09:03There's a secondary chance for the C么te d'Ivoire.
09:05It's not dead yet.
09:06It's across the middle.
09:08And it's sent away to the edge of the box.
09:10Still a follow-up chance.
09:11Thuo lays it off for Guy.
09:14It's deflected up.
09:16Keeper's got to come and claim it.
09:17And he's let it go.
09:18And it's saved off the line.
09:20Ngamba gets across.
09:24Diakongo.
09:25Extraordinary stuff.
09:27Onside when it was played.
09:29Out towards Norman Guy.
09:33Attack just kept yielding chances.
09:35Guy got it back.
09:37Keeper felt the need to come and get it.
09:39And went past the ball.
09:43Brilliant.
09:44Free has to dart out of the way.
09:46Guy has it back.
09:48Good turn.
09:49Now there's room to drive forward for C么te d'Ivoire.
09:53Thuo over the top.
10:00There you go.
10:02You good.
10:02Looted into the box.
10:03It comes straight through for goalkeeper Diabate.
10:08C么te d'Ivoire still very much going for the winner.
10:12That's on goal.
10:14The Elephants on top in the second half.
10:18The ball across the middle.
10:19Should be cut out by the keeper.
10:22Got a lot.
10:28Get it across.
10:29The clearance leaves the ball dead in the box.
10:32Keeper's got to get down to that.
10:35Bote away in the end.
10:37No blue shirts around it.
10:39Use ball sticks with C么te d'Ivoire as well.
10:41It's chipped downfield.
10:43Diabate.
10:44Was he onside?
10:44Keeper gets there first.
10:47Now the space down the right-hand side.
10:51Oh, was there a foul there?
10:53The referee says there was.
10:54Penalty given.
10:56In the 87th minute.
11:02Up against his counterpart.
11:047 v 7.
11:05Songi Glau, who's just come on.
11:07Has earned his side.
11:09A huge chance.
11:15So.
11:18Diabate.
11:18Diabate have their quick thinking there to alert the bench.
11:22Might have just bailed the team out from this penalty.
11:27It's on the turf.
11:30Glau goes flying over him.
11:36That's the result here.
11:38Look for the reaction.
11:39Spot.
11:40Already a minute into stoppage time.
11:43At the end of the 90.
11:45Is there to be late heartbreak for DR Congo?
11:50Harifat from the spot.
11:51It's into the corner.
11:53And C么te d'Ivoire finally have the lead.
11:57Mohamed Harifat makes no mistake with the spot kick.
12:01And C么te d'Ivoire are within touching distance of the knockout stages.
12:09I said there was late drama brewing in this matchday.
12:14It's proven.
12:16C么te d'Ivoire hit the front at the beginning of 8 added minutes.
12:21We might get more at the end of the 8 as well, you know.
12:25C么te d'Ivoire hit the front at the end of the night.
12:29Yeah.
12:32This player to release.
12:34They've got the ball back.
12:35That's something.
12:37Up to the edge of the box.
12:38It's bouncing awkwardly.
12:39Is there somebody in blue underneath it?
12:41There is.
12:43Loco just couldn't squeeze it in.
12:48And there's the final whistle.
12:51C么te d'Ivoire have done it.
12:53Hard break for DR Congo who conceded late on from the penalty spot.
12:57Hard break for DR Congo.
12:58Hard break for DR Congo.
13:02Hard break for DR Congo.
13:03Hard break for DR Congo.
13:06Hard break for DR Congo.
13:09Hard break for DR Congo.
