00:00more pressure and drama to this WAFCON quarterfinal it doubles up as an African qualifier
00:07for the FIFA World Cup 2027 in Brazil this is it the first quarterfinal and a battle between
00:17Algeria and the Cote d'Ivoire with a place in the semi-finals up for grabs and a ticket to
00:24Brazil for next year intricately prepare but the trouble is they'll come up against a very physical
00:30Cote d'Ivoire team I know it's right oh go Safi what's right oh go pulls it back she goes
00:35down
00:35and she claims well she's not claiming anything she's just
00:45strong challenge coming in yellow card comes out
00:52well nothing's gonna change it was an immediate reaction there for Anastasia Gbehi
01:00who picks up a yellow card I'm gonna miss the next match but a player down of course but
01:08it's just late isn't it and you can see that Runda Benris just coming through
01:16final third and finding shots on goal because this is a little bit more
01:22of a cagey confrontation with less scoring opportunities than usual for the Cote d'Ivoire
01:30and I think that this is where Drell goes trying to get past her marker down towards the byline
01:37she's still got it she got the goal it's a one-woman mission an extraordinary run
01:50I mean what did she what could she not do there that was sensational it doesn't look like it's gonna
01:58be it's not gonna be given they need to check with VAR for that line there but look at what
02:06what Diogo does so strong still going the goalkeeper now look at that mistake there from Mgazi not covering her
02:14near post
02:15and it doesn't go over the line there and that's an easy slotted in shot with the right foot
02:22it all comes down to the check that's gonna take place midway through the first half to find out whether
02:29she was on the side or offside but unbelievable
02:36she gets sorry three oh and the one against her Tanzania she's off again there we are down the
02:43left hand side and a chance look at the strong defensive work
02:46the zombie comes back to marshall and deny in this cone in the chance to shoot
02:53that is wonderful work
02:57you expect that from your center back look at that she's racing back
03:01and i think she pulled a little bit too far inside look at this touch here
03:06that left footed touch it just showed exposed the ball a little bit more
03:14she's giving the ball away you can't give it to where Diogo where Diogo pushes it forward
03:19she's gonna barge her way into the penalty box and the stop and the follow up the goal for Cote
03:24d'Ivoire
03:30look at that
03:35and the referee has again intervenes before they can start celebrating
03:42and i wonder if it's from that challenge
03:51there we go they're gonna check
03:52they're gonna check this is gonna take a bit of time here
04:11does she get behind the foot
04:13or does she touch the ball first
04:17that's what we're gonna look at
04:21she goes underneath the legs
04:25oh my word
04:30it's a goal for the Cote d'Ivoire
04:32and it has been given
04:34no contacts
04:36contacts with the leg
04:38contacts with the ball
04:40let's have a look at this again
04:41Ineos Conan gets in there
04:43that's the angle
04:44that you can see that it was clearly
04:47driven in first by the Ivorian
04:50four goals
04:54the host Morocco will take on South Africa
04:58delivery coming over again into the penalty box
05:00and Ghazi
05:01oh that was very close
05:03she got a boot to the head
05:04and she's gonna be in some pain
05:06it's a yellow card
05:09and
05:10what's your goal going for it she'll logically go for that
05:15she didn't hold it in Ghazi so I understand what she did
05:18I just hope that she is okay because if there was contacts
05:24boot to the head we don't like that
05:32let's see if
05:32well first of all
05:34call for it
05:35oh it skimmed her mouth
05:37didn't it
05:39let's have a look at this
05:41yeah I think that she's gonna be okay
05:43she literally pulled back
05:44but it's a little bit of a shock
05:47for the system
05:48when you have a boot that goes clear
05:49next to the mouth
05:52she should be fine
05:57Samira Navada of Uganda
05:58I mean it's a super dangerous play isn't it
06:08that just
06:10so that image
06:12yeah I mean we see that
06:13she can make
06:19red card defense
06:21where Drogo
06:23the star player of the Cote d'Ivoire
06:25has been given her marching orders
06:29which means that
06:31lofted ball going into the penalty area
06:33dealt with the back
06:35there's the shot
06:35well that's the first one
