01:02quarter press and allow Cameroon possession around the back it's a very
01:07warm day in Rabat temperature in the low 30s measured ball forward and it was
01:14Moustache oh that's a lovely ball here's a chance what to say that is golden
01:21opportunity for Cameroon it might still fall for them shot comes in and Yakuri makes
01:30the second save fantastic balls it slice the Moroccan defense open and it's a good
01:42save from Yakubi because he was all exposed

02:08so lovely little flick because here always working out nicely who's going to get there first shot comes
02:16in and there is the goal well Morocco I said they started to get themselves into this game
02:26and it was beautifully worked out to the left wing and coming in to finish with a plomb
02:44I think it's Zimbi who has finished this one off lovely ball tantalizing left footed across the keeper
02:52into that into that far corner arriving on cue super goal
03:02lovely part from Hadidi and it is Zimbi and Cameroon enjoying 73% possession
03:16Morocco in front courtesy of their only shot on target their only shot in fact
03:24what a ball that was and somehow it doesn't end up on the end of a player in white
03:39and his goal
03:45and they just can't get rid of the ball they had the opportunity to get rid of it
03:49lovely bit of skill bit of space at the top of the sir at the top of the area
04:02very special to be king way from there and there is the halftime whistle and Morocco despite having
04:12what only 30% possession of the ball and just one shot on target in the whole half go into

05:20just before half time which sailed over the bar the other shot the one that was buried into the back
05:24of the net
05:24and that really is the only couple of times
05:29they've ventured forward Kingway in the Cameroon goal
