00:00We've had plenty of drama on match day. Groups A, B, C. It's every indication that D is going to
00:07go along the same lines.
00:11It's the white shirts and shorts and socks of Senegal defending the end away to our right.
00:18It's a knock-up in the air from Crexie. Here's the front man, the pivots down the middle, the big
00:24striker.
00:25Gets it wide to Mohamed Wagner. Wagner's got the overlap of Lameen. It gets to the byline.
00:302021 and moved on.
00:35It's a good turn for Valmi. Rashes it into the penalty area. Might be a chance here for Abed.
00:41He's got an option, but he doesn't need the option. And the follow-up is put behind for a corner.
00:48It's short as well. It's towards the far post. It's a good start this from the Algerians.
00:55The flag is up as the ball is headed back across goal.
00:59Faced in.
01:02Yep.
01:04French League.
01:05French.
01:06Ligue 1, Ligue 2.
01:08It's a turn on the volley.
01:10And in close range.
01:12They have their early lead and it's their captain, Mekawi.
01:19They were threatening in it and they've got it inside the opening five minutes.
01:24The corner come in and Senegal didn't deal with it.
01:27And Mekawi says thank you very much and scores his first goal.
01:30Algeria needed.
01:31Comes in here.
01:32They had a chance to clear it.
01:35He was given too much space.
01:37Mekawi says afforded a little bit too much time.
01:40Took it on the thigh and swiveled and planted it beyond the goalkeeper and in.
01:49Mekawi takes control and fires his side into an early.
01:53They are actually off the bottom of that table.
01:55And now it's Senegal at the bottom.
01:58That table is actually already out of date.
02:02Well, that's a clearance and there might be a chance here.
02:07Well, if he goes across the face of goal, it's 2-0 from Deo.
02:12Plants that one across the goalkeeper.
02:13It's 2-0, I think.
02:16Unlucky.
02:17For Senegal, Wadner.
02:20Cross.
02:221-8.
02:23All ball forward by Lemieux.
02:30Algerian penalty area here.
02:33It's very central.
02:34There's a two now more just in case.
02:39It's hung in.
02:40And there the backward header.
02:42And an equalising goal.
02:46Back level.
02:49And it's a goal by Cech D'Ang.
02:51Another central defender on the scumpegs back very early on.
02:57It's a great backwards header, which caught the goalkeeper, Tifrani, out completely.
03:01Well, it's held up in the air nicely from the free kick by Soleimane Faye.
03:07And that is where this improvising back header by Cech D'Ang.
03:13Went flying over the goalkeeper and in.
03:171-1.
03:19Well, they know they need it.
03:20Strong challenge from Leach-Up.
03:22Forward by Ben Gesell.
03:24To the feet of the number nine Valmi, but he's given it away.
03:28It's a quick switch from right to left.
03:32Mohamed Wagner goes on the outside, taking on Damas.
03:36Wagner looks up to the edge of the box.
03:39And the shot pulled wide by Morris.
03:42Really catch it well that he's just done.
03:50This is a delivery to the back post.
03:52They've got good height in there.
03:54In Senegal, but Algeria can break away.
04:00And Gesell.
04:02N'Ichab pulls it back.
04:05This is Valmi.
04:06Shot is beaten away.
04:08In a row.
04:12Here comes that free kick.
04:14Hanging towards the goalkeeper.
04:16He has to watch it carefully.
04:18And there were later rivals on that back.
04:22Soleimane Faye is there.
04:24Just wonder if it's a strike at goal on the horizon here.
04:27Five in the wall.
04:32Faye leaves it.
04:33Struck to goal.
04:35Punched away.
04:36It's Craig C that hits it.
04:41It's called towards goal.
04:45Sense that this is an area of concern for them.
04:50And an area of expertise for Senegal.
04:54Now we're pleased to hear that.
05:04Big shout there for a handball.
05:08Feel from the Senegalese bench for an FVS referral.
05:19And it is going to be a V-S check.
05:26Cross comes in.
05:31Does it hit?
05:32I think it might be Belkinicic on the arm before he swipes it away.
05:38And here it is.
05:50Penalty for handball.
05:53It's...
05:57Long run up from the midfielder.
06:00He made the equalising goal.
06:02And he steps up and tucks away the penalty.
06:06Just...
06:06Well, the goalkeeper guessed the right way, Tifrani, but couldn't keep it out.
06:11Sulemane Faye makes it 2-1 to Senegal from the penalty spot after a VAR.
06:22It's a decision.
06:24It could have gone either way.
06:25It went Senegal's way.
06:28And the holders of this competition, back with a different generation, are ahead.
06:34It's just...
06:37Sulemane Faye scores for the first time.
06:39He's been the driving force.
06:42They need a little bit more creativity.
06:45And they need not to give the ball away like that.
06:48There's a chance here.
06:49They've got an overload.
06:50And that could have easily been 3-1, the shot over the bar.
06:54Well, they had options left, right and centre.
06:56And maybe, just maybe, the option to the right was slightly more favourable.
07:02The crossbar.
07:03But, they've come back into this game strongly of Senegal.
07:06They were behind to that goal from Mekawi.
07:10For Mekawi, rather.
07:12After just five minutes.
07:13A great start for Algeria.
07:14But they've pressed their way back into the game.
07:16Checked the Aang's backward header, mate.
07:25They're off and underway.
07:30Back by Valmi.
07:32It's a run from Deo.
07:33Deo's back in the box.
07:35This is a shot from Abid.
07:36Well, he's hit the side netting.
07:39Goalkeeper had it pretty much covered at his near post.
07:42Senegal are looking the more comfortable in possession.
07:53Ultran, but he's quite storied out in front.
07:55That was one of his under-17 teammates.
08:01That's Grinny.
08:04High ball into the penalty areas behind.
08:19It's a great ball into the penalty area, but there's no conviction.
08:31Faye got met over.
08:34Looping header was just wide.
08:36Aang, again, same routine, different result.
08:43It wasn't a bad.
08:45Abed to take this free kick.
08:47Four in the wall.
08:54Take a deflection, will be a corner.
09:00Yellow card in this competition.
09:15It's a great delivery when I had the goalkeeper.
09:23Kick forward.
09:24It's going to bounce all the way through.
09:25It might be three.
09:27It should have been three.
09:30Another free kick for Suleimani Faye.
09:35Here it comes.
09:36It comes deep.
09:37It's headed back across.
09:39And then a looping header towards goal.
09:41It was almost hooked by Cech Diang.
09:51And out wide by Zaydi.
09:57Dhamas, can he get the cross in?
09:58Needs to get the cross in.
10:01It's got past the defender.
10:02Ninchab with the cross.
10:05In the very last group matches.
10:08Of the Cech under-17, AFCON.
10:22It's been a half minutes to go.
10:24Still South Africa.
10:25One gone and two.
10:34It's running forward.
10:41It's the final minute of the 90.
10:47Goal now.
10:48It would make a big difference.
10:52It's hung in.
10:53And held behind.
10:56To Ali.
10:59It's done well since he's come on.
11:05And off by Zidane.
11:08Piling on the pressure here of Algeria.
11:16We're 30 seconds beyond the five minutes.
11:21And there is the victory.
11:23Senegal top group D.
11:26And go through where they will play Mali.
11:28Algeria will finish second.
11:31And they will play against Tanzania too.
11:35Incredibly.
11:35And they will play against Tanzania.
11:46And they will play against Tanzania.
11:46And they will play against Tanzania.
