00:05We are underway in this second game in Group A for Host Nation, Morocco and Algeria.
00:24Patient, probing this part of the world.
00:30And they have continued to come in numbers all the while.
00:34Good ball into the middle, Benghazi.
00:37And then Defer completing the clearance for Algeria.
00:45You can undoubtedly hear the whistles coming in Algeria's way when they have a spell of possession.
00:55At the time, here's Masoudi.
00:58First will run for her.
01:00Azraf.
01:01Mrabet.
01:04Itelhaj lets fly.
01:07There's never going to be troubling in Gaza.
01:10To Elodie Nakash.
01:12Lovely switch of play out to Uzraoui.
01:16And delicious call in as well, headed clear.
01:19And Musaha.
01:26Switch of play.
01:28And Uzraoui.
01:31Loves to get forward.
01:32And here she does so again.
01:34And she's got Eintelhaj behind her.
01:36She runs out of room while she's gone down in the area.
01:40Azars.
01:43There's a nice bit of skill here.
01:46A little bit of a nudge ran into the Algerian.
01:51Not a lot of room to go through.
01:52The gate, very, very small.
02:03Wenwani.
02:05Masoudi, chop of the shoulder.
02:06Gets away.
02:07Drydie in the middle.
02:08Still it goes.
02:10And breaking here.
02:11Chas from Rocca to open the scoring early on.
02:14Well, that's a really big block from Bolubu.
02:17There's the ball in it.
02:18This was the half chance.
02:21But look at the numbers of Algerians getting back.
02:23Four players putting themselves between ball and goal.
02:28Zaraoui plays her football with Barcelona.
02:31And then come up through.
02:32La Masia.
02:32She curls it in.
02:33Great delivery.
02:35Well, Benzina couldn't get the connection she wanted.
02:38Ball back into the middle.
02:39And then that's surely a foul.
02:40And that will be a free kick in Algeria's way.
02:43Because coming in from Leroy,
02:45we were looking to get to the...
02:48The knockout plays as early as they can.
02:51Mugazi does really well to keep her eye on the ball then.
02:55To supply any time an Algerian player goes down.
03:02The group on Monday night.
03:04Masoudi through to Draidi.
03:08Roared on by the fans, Draidi.
03:10And has to settle for...
03:15Swinging low and hard.
03:16Well, that's a waste.
03:17And straight into the side netting.
03:20Again.
03:23Into Linja.
03:25Benjuris.
03:26Dafer.
03:28Striker goal from distance for Algeria.
03:31Amici stampers.
03:33Across her goal line.
03:42Smitsura again.
03:46Dangerous going forward.
03:48But...
03:48No.
03:54Thrown in again.
03:55The Algerian.
03:56Defense equal to it again.
03:59Now Cash.
04:00Benzina.
04:01About to pull the trigger.
04:04Chubby.
04:05Got a toe in.
04:11There's Rowey.
04:12There and there.
04:13Eitel.
04:16Dafer.
04:18Did that get a little reflection?
04:20No.
04:22No.
04:24Clay on says the referee, despite Dafer feeling she was pushed to the floor.
04:29It was Rowey.
04:30Nice skill from her.
04:32Into Asraf.
04:33Draidi just ahead of her.
04:35Well, she tried to scoop it forward to her.
04:37I think it was to Draidi rather than Masoudi.
04:41Asraf.
04:42But...
04:43She was picked off.
04:45Here's Masoudi.
04:46Medwani back on her feet.
04:48Draidi ahead of her.
04:49Bending her run.
04:52Still Draidi.
04:53And just as she angles towards goal.
04:57I think she's won.
04:58Very little action in front of goal.
05:01But a really intense encounter between these two North African rivals.
05:07Absolutely going at it.
05:08From start to finish.
05:10With a super intensity.
05:14And one wonders what the second half...
05:22So the teams are back out.
05:24And we are back underway.
05:26Morocco.
05:27Playing from right to left.
05:30In their red shirts.
05:31Green shorts.
05:32And Red Sox.
05:33Algeria.
05:34To City.
05:37Beti.
05:38Dancing through the Morocco midfield.
05:40And then in behind.
05:41Lovely ball into Ben Dries.
05:44She's got a ken behind her.
05:47And she's choosing to take on Redwani.
05:50And she's won the corner.
05:53And Duffer.
05:56And they'll swing this in.
05:57Deep it goes.
05:58And back into the middle.
06:02And Redwani just happy to get it clear to anywhere.
06:06Boussaha.
06:14She went deep last time.
06:16Duffer.
06:17And she does so again.
06:18Out comes Emishi.
06:20Drops it.
06:20The decision.
06:23Doubtly will go her way.
06:25The Archerian who found her saying,
06:27What have I done?
06:28Well.
06:30Many others in this Moroccan side.
06:33Want.
06:35Masoudi.
06:38That was a nice idea from Draidi.
06:40At present.
06:43Benzina.
06:46Now Cash with the strike.
06:48Nice idea.
06:50Well struck.
06:51But that in the first half.
06:52And it really didn't come off.
06:54But this is so much better.
06:56Some Moroccan players.
06:57On the edge of the penalty area.
06:59Asraf.
07:00Bends it in.
07:00Just needs to touch this.
07:02And it does get a touch.
07:02And it goes behind for what will be a corner to Morocco.
07:06Nice bend.
07:08Well Benzina's coming very late at the back.
07:11Up goes Atik.
07:12Here is Benzina on her left foot.
07:14Blocked instantly.
07:17Well she just.
07:18Go again.
07:21Asraf.
07:23Kept alive.
07:24But not.
07:25Because the flag's up.
07:27And that'll be a goal kick.
07:29Admittedly a very tough match day three.
07:33They will fancy their chances.
07:35And Jabi.
07:36Well the flag hasn't gone up for now.
07:37In she is.
07:38The Algerian.
07:39In behind.
07:39Could you get a strike away?
07:40She can.
07:41And then the flag does go up.
07:45Dispossessed Benjuris.
07:46Now Cash.
07:47Looking for Uzraoui.
07:49Smothered by two.
07:50She's still going.
07:51Uzraoui.
07:51Just needs to lay it off to Draene.
07:53He doesn't do so.
07:54Well there was a shooting opportunity there.
07:55Ines Boutileb.
07:59Set to come on as.
08:02The overhead kick was.
08:08Dafer.
08:10Strike at goal.
08:11And Amici.
08:13The first attempt she.
08:21Dreaming of Glorion.
08:23Finding the top right hand corner.
08:26And there's going to be some strike from there.
08:33Floated into the same sort of area.
08:34Up goes Mourabet.
08:35It's not fully cleared.
08:37Now Cash with the strike.
08:39Algeria yet again with the block.
08:41Beti.
08:42Now they look to break on the counter.
08:44And the referee thought about playing the advantage.
08:49Dafer.
08:50A pocket of space.
08:53Baloubu.
08:54Got to play the cross into the middle.
08:56As she does.
08:56It gets a deflection.
09:03Can she do better than the youngster.
09:05Masoudi with the head up.
09:07And Gazi.
09:08With the save.
09:10Well it was on target.
09:11And they.
09:20Well that's TT is going to be spoken to by the referee.
09:23Because he's.
09:51Asking.
09:52Surely too much of.
09:53Surely too much of.
09:54Who's Raoui.
09:58Al-Brahim.
10:00Clipped.
10:00No.
10:01Decision comes her way.
10:02Well.
10:03I wonder what the Algerians make of that.
10:05She's still down.
10:05Al-Brahim.
10:07And that's a corner to.
10:09Morocco.
10:12He's got to.
10:13Stay focused on the task in hand.
10:15Which is to.
10:16Hold Morocco.
10:18For the next few minutes.
10:19Boussaha.
10:20But.
10:20Only as far as.
10:22Eitelhaj.
10:23Masoudi.
10:23In space.
10:24In the middle.
10:25And Morocco.
10:27Break through.
10:28But will it count.
10:30While the substitutes.
10:32Running onto the pitch.
10:33To celebrate.
10:35And Masoudi.
10:37Buried in there.
10:41Morocco.
10:42Have the goal.
10:43And it was superbly turned.
10:46Behind.
10:47And I.
10:48Do wonder.
10:51What the referee is thinking here.
10:53But they are celebrating.
10:54There's no indication.
10:56And it's not going to be happening.
10:57But the referee's got a yellow card.
10:59In her pocket.
11:00Which is the.
11:00She has most issue with.
11:06Eitelhaj.
11:06Look at that.
11:08Masoudi.
11:08Clearly on side.
11:09Excellent first touch.
11:11And then.
11:13A striker's instinct.
11:15In front of goal.
11:15Just to.
11:16Poke that pass.
11:17To Ghazi.
11:19And Morocco.
11:20Have the breakthrough.
11:22Expertly taken.
11:26And she runs.
11:27And runs.
11:28All day.
11:28To get into positions.
11:30Like that.
11:33To have moments.
11:34Just like that.
11:35Well.
11:37A few complaints.
11:39From Algeria.
11:43The referee does have.
11:45Her thing.
11:51Dafer.
11:53Amici comes and punches.
11:55And not.
11:55Convincingly.
11:56And Hazami.
11:58Just about.
11:59Keeps it alive.
12:00And in.
12:01Dafer.
12:02Into the middle.
12:03It goes again.
12:04And then contact.
12:05Is made.
12:06This time.
12:06By Hazami.
12:07One more time.
12:11Itel Hajj.
12:14Swung in.
12:15Masoudi.
12:15Trying to find the space again.
12:20Another.
12:21Very much.
12:22The wrong side of 30.
12:25Masoudi.
12:26Playing it in.
12:27Usraoui.
12:28Just didn't manage.
12:29To take the ball.
12:29Chebak to her left.
12:31Options to her right.
12:32Strike a goal.
12:33Across the face of goal.
12:35Well.
12:35It wouldn't have counted.
12:36In any case.
12:42And the stadium.
12:43Is ready.
12:44To celebrate.
12:46And there goes.
12:47The final whistle.
12:49And they had to do it.
12:49The hard way.
12:50Morocco.
12:52But the Atlas.
12:53Lionesses.
12:54Have scaled their.
12:55Particular.
12:57Because.
12:57Algeria.
12:58Made it incredibly hard.
12:59For them.
13:00Good.
13:03Bye.
