00:05so last african champions in 1985 can they do it tonight
00:10ronman williams is the skipper of the south african side
00:18and he will go across and exchange both handshakes and pendants with
00:24mohammed the midfield maestro for royal armed forces and their skipper
00:37it looks as if the moroccans are going to defend the goal to the left-hand side
00:42the mamalodi sundowns presumably will get matters underway there's confirmation of tonight's
00:47officials mr attan in the middle mr abdu razak from jibouti and steven yimbe from kenya are the
00:54two men on the line daniel larie from ghana is our var referee tonight along with support from
01:04eswatini so mamalodi sundowns forced into a single change for this evening's encounter with the
01:11hamstring injury suffered by the left back obri modiba the zimbabwean international divine lunga
01:16takes his place ron kakana is back from uh suspension but uh only on the bench tonight
01:23so the central defensive pairing of cupido and the money remains no place again in the starting
01:31lineup for ikram reiners or ten bazwani and no place in the match day selection for the
01:37midfield goal ace peter shallulele young tatro sabia certainly amongst the most inexperienced there
01:47calf president patrice potsepe next to him the head of moroccan football fawzi lecture
01:55two of them regarded as the powerhouses behind the scenes in african football right
02:02all the talking all the build up all the predictions
02:10can now be forgotten we settle back and see what unfolds over the next 90 minutes sundowns to get
02:17matters underway the team in the brazilian colors domani straight down the line looking for leon to
02:24chase onto that not far from here about an hour or so away at casablanca stadium the atmosphere that night
02:31was sick
02:35that's good tracking back by there'll be a fair amount of aggression in the middle
02:40oh it's getting a little feisty early on here a yellow card almost immediately
02:52jayden adams is not one to be toyed with and mr certainly opportunity to give sundowns a larger
02:59token here on cuts inside the two players little ball inside for leon from had enough
03:05i've got decent pace williams gets there gets himself out of the press not convincingly and they've
03:11uh given possession
03:16token arrow looking to get some running down that left-hand side with uh hamudan
03:22this game uh royal enforcers let's see if that's indeed going to be the case defensive work from mudow
03:32this is dangerous
03:36another ball across the face of goal but certainly lifted the noise here from the home fans
03:45ah lungo was late let's see what the referee's going to do here
03:50just lead nor deliberately got his timing wrong but uh had no intention of hurting the opponent
03:58slim
04:01now touching matthews was he fouled from behind referee concurs it's going to be a free kick
04:08this is going to go all the way through to tug now it's in fact away for a goal
04:13pamudan token arrow excellent ball across and mokwena gets the clearance ahead of the goalkeeper
04:21second time now they canero gets the cross in again over the head of lunga
04:28that's perhaps a little too strong from this right-hand side
04:34now away comes mokwena looking for matthews out wide and neither there with hudda
04:40cuts inside down he goes
04:44looking for the penalty but uh not too many of the royal armed forces players
04:49yeah that might be a chance though for the home team
04:52skewed off the left side of the book by him out the captain
05:05santos letraco
05:06well the elegant first touch from the angolan now mokwena gets away from him that and the skipper
05:12is going to go in the book that's three times has competed in the champions league
05:17it's in leon mendy is the defender
05:21but he can't afford to sit back in the money gives the ball away though
05:24but dows another stupendous tackle now let's not go
05:29it's the ball away on the left foot not enough power but that's the first matthews back again
05:34is he going to fire matthews wide a goal
05:39suddenly they found their mojo
05:44on the edge of the area
05:47battling away knives down referee not interested
05:54again the crowd
05:58that's an inviting ball into rather sensitive area but he stayed on his feet tokenero gets us across
06:05cook it over another excellent challenge from modao
06:13a goal on aggregate
06:17remember in african club competition
06:21header away from adams back in from the national team coach will be watching closely tonight
06:26another good challenge from modao
06:32exquisite timing forces knocking on the door here up goes mendy climbing
06:40curling ball santos gets it i'm doing it back in again they really tested them in the air
06:47and it's going to be a corner
06:55we'll take this the poor one to the near post
07:02now mcuena
07:07offside pyramids gave them a 4-1 something in the quarterfinals last season
07:13we might have finally into the middle bypass is cupido and lunga
07:21well they believe royal armed forces they should have got a penalty there
07:25but the referee said play on
07:29been sent to the monitor so
07:33a big decision awaits now the home crowd in and let's see what his decision is
07:42penalty
07:47the stadium erupts in celebration so pretty much against williams sends in the wrong way
07:53royal enforcers have the lead
08:06pretty much around the same time as mamaloni sundown scored in the
08:12first bank
08:15royal enforcers have
08:20slim another inviting ball into the middle
08:24the middle finds mcuena early ball in for leon cut times mcuena
08:30play on says the referee now
08:33Bach
08:35chance for him
08:36i'll finally delivers another cross
08:38lunga clears this away chance for brian leon just a little too strong really picking up
08:45drag back oh good chance
08:52lunga into matthews
08:54just gets away but he gets it back from moda rare mistake by the right back
08:59ball came from slim
09:01alfali back lunga he has a chance now for sundowns matthews no way through and he is going to get
09:09the free
09:09kick and bark sells on the score sheet before half time as leon plays it in on the left lunga
09:15with a
09:16cost and uh first ball now lunga can he gets another one square lunga
09:24with a clearing header lunga again
09:27matthews at home in all competitions chance here for mcquena what a strike
09:36absolute thunderbolt on the stroke of half time and mamaloni sundowns have equalized here
09:42and have put the pressure now right back on the moroccans and away goal is going to count
09:50massively potentially in this tie
09:56well he's thundered some excellent goals in his career
10:00to boku mcquena with that right foot of his he knows how to smack the ball from range he scored
10:06against morocco a brilliant free kick at the cup of nations two editions ago i wonder however if this
10:12isn't the best goal just in terms of signature he has santos to matthews this is a little extra spring
10:20in the step understandably now from mamaloni sundowns
10:26gave the home side the lead it's one one at the break sundowns are leading
10:33two one on aggregate 45 minutes still to play in the champions league final
10:42here's leon now up against mendy
10:46oh now can they get the square up against the money took a little deflection off the center back it'll
10:53go
10:53for the first cup made short hour that's a disappointing kick from that looked to be a handball surely
11:03difficult bounce of the ball for now lungas pass in search of leon
11:11lungas header we're done chasing with mudow another excellent match
11:19still not cleared and now the shot without much power from redder slim into the arms of
11:28no foul again says the ref it'll be a throw in to royal armed forces hamudan went down rather
11:35dramatically and now adams down as long forces looking
11:42to determine sundowns now winning the ball through santos foul however by only five
11:49here is three months santos had the last touch in fact looking for the openings lunga with a challenge
11:57good defensive little chip inside good header from the money's height coming to the fall there and uh
12:05are we going to have another card here now
12:11lungas but heavy taken away again
12:14and mudow slim chasing with lunga what's the decision
12:22referee's unsure line motiba two attacking players
12:26al-fali cuts inside he's looking to shoot gets the shot hamudan
12:33square pass from him only finds cupido
12:36crowder appealing side
12:38another inviting ball again their own half they really are pushing now looking to risk
12:50hamudan shows a bit too much and mudow does so well again
12:53injured in the process however the players uh appealed now long ball for leon chance here
13:00they'll finally cuts inside inviting ball domani's there takes no chances away for a corner
13:16away 65 minutes played another corner this time off lunga

13:30great interception
13:34foul on tushrik matthews
13:40captain's
13:41can lunga get to the byline in time no it'll be a goal kick
13:51could hit her away from hamudan cuts inside can he get the shot away does william spills has
13:57williams committed a foul what's the referee say card won a penalty players won a penalty referee says no
14:06off to the screen he's gonna go

14:20artan says now penalty
14:26penalty for all armed forces with some 15 minutes to store their lead three mats saved by williams
14:34rodwin williams to the rescue again
14:38and is that the golden opportunity for the home side gone
14:47clearance from jaden adam to his left
14:51ball back inside is a huge penalty saves in his career again you wonder whether that's not the biggest one
