00:02And the referee giving Libby the green light to get the game going.
00:14Back to Brahim.
00:19Pinali will be the player just racing up that right side when needs be.
00:25Here he is picking up the ball now.
00:30Going through the middle.
00:34Al-Habishi over to the left-hand side.
00:37Al-Dawi looking for the ball but quite comfortable passing the ball around before they start to make inroads.
00:43There's the other high ball over to the right-hand side.
00:46And nicely controlled there.
00:48And by Mansour, the inside pass.
00:51And has been blocked.
00:52Calls for a handball.
00:55Referee Pierre-Jean Nguyené of Congo reacting immediately.
01:04Botswana on the attack.
01:05Here's Mohit Siwa.
01:07Nice through ball as well.
01:09Chance to get the crossover by Setsile.
01:12And it has been blocked quite comfortably there by Abrahima.
01:17Al-Taha.
01:19There's the delivery coming over.
01:21And a solid defensive header.
01:27Offside flag didn't get raised on that occasion.
01:30The Botswana front.
01:31Ball comes back.
01:34Chipped over the top.
01:36Goalkeeper.
01:37Straight up.
01:37Safe hands there for Foucault.
01:40And the former Zouaneng Portola Pro League in Morocco.
01:50Good hassling.
01:51Nicely done.
01:53Lovely little touch there.
01:54And here they are on the attack.
01:55Libya!
01:56Oh, he's just gone past the post there.
02:00And the captain, Havdu El-Houni.
02:04Nearly firing Libya ahead in their ninth minute there.
02:09It's wonderfully set up.
02:11Just look at that little flick there coming from El-Maremi.
02:14Straight into the path of El-Houni.
02:16His pace takes him past his man, Koppelang.
02:19The shot just marginally...
02:29The high ball going over.
02:31It's been collected here.
02:32El-Maremi.
02:33Can't quite get it to his teammates.
02:35That's well kept on the ground.
02:38And the battle from El-Habishi does really well.
02:41Over to the left-hand side.
02:42Chance Felsharimi tries to get the ball out wide.
02:46There's the attempted ball coming over by El-Houni.
02:50Gets a little bit of a touch to it.
02:51But he collects it again.
02:52The captain.
02:53Chance puts it on his right foot.
02:55It's a low drive coming from Ashiloui.
02:58Really tame and nonside with El-Sharimi.
03:02There's the delivery coming into the penalty box.
03:04And good defensive work from Ced Silei coming back to just get a little bit of a header to it.
03:13El-Habishi straight through the middle.
03:16Lovely ball.
03:17Puts it on his left foot.
03:18There's the shot that goes wide.
03:21And it will be a goal kick, but it all opened up there.
03:23Wonderful quick footwork there from...
03:39And then we make sure you jam, boys.
03:49Five standing up players, one lying down.
03:52El-Houni with a shot, it takes the deflection and goes over.
03:55The job is most definitely done for the wall.
03:59That was put together by the Zebras.
04:04Favored him.
04:09Taken quickly here.
04:10There's the curling cross that comes right over by Subial Dahoui.
04:16Out again looking for the ball.
04:18There's the pass down to the left-hand side.
04:20Nicely set up.
04:21Little pull back to try and get the ball clear.
04:23Has been picked up.
04:24Shot coming in.
04:25It's a rasping drive over the top by El-Houni.
04:36It's a rasping drive over the top by El-Houni.
04:38Oh, he's left it for his teammate.
04:40El-Shilwi came through with a solid rocket shot, but he drove it high into the sky.
05:00Mangolo.
05:03Oh, it's a beautiful ball that's been picked up here.
05:05I said Setsile.
05:06Well, he unleashes a shot, but it's still taken out as it took a deflection by a Libyan player.
05:14And easily scooped up by Eamon Altihar.
05:20The 24-year-old goalkeeper.
05:24Botswana getting some good possession, passing the ball around nicely.
05:29Ramotze, the eyeball coming in.
05:31Oh, the touch!
05:32It's going to be a goal for Botswana!
05:34A wonderful touch!
05:36And it comes from that man, Tumisang Oribonye.
05:42Well, he ghosted in from nowhere to get a little touch with the head.
05:50Beating Altihar.
05:53What a touch from the as far center forward.
05:58And Botswana have shaken things up here in Tripoli by taking the lead.
06:11Well, that is what you call sensational.
06:14The timing of his run and a wonderful touch.
06:17Let's have a look at this again.
06:19That was the delivery coming in from Cagamagnani.
06:22The bounce was the...
06:24It was allowed to bounce, wasn't it?
06:26By Bin Ali.
06:28And you can't allow that to happen because strikers will come in.
06:33And Alhouni will want to take this again.
06:42Right foot into the penalty box.
06:44There's two players going up for the same ball.
06:46The communication wasn't perfect there.
06:49And I just thought that maybe Ashiloui needed to...
06:59Aldawi trying to send it through there to El Maremi.
07:04Oh, he shoots. Showed too much of it.
07:07Well, the flag has gone up.
07:08Ah, he was just a fraction too early.
07:15Abrahima.
07:22Again, they're just clearing the ball, not allowing it to go through.
07:25Great opportunity here.
07:26The goal scorer's at it again.
07:28Can he get it on this right foot?
07:29Look at that! Rifled in!
07:31And Audibonnier has done it again.
07:35Goal number two.
07:36And what a goal it was!
07:41Stunning finish there from the Asfa forward.
07:45And Botswana have really shaken things up here.
07:48Group H will be fascinating now.
07:54Uganda, Tunisia.
07:56The other Group H battle that will be taking place.
07:59But Botswana have really shown what they're capable of doing.
08:05And that quick counter and the front man.
08:09Super cool finish.
08:13Wow!
08:21I mean, look how calm and collected he was when he managed to pick this up.
08:27There's the first touch.
08:29Chess pushes it forward.
08:31Holds off his man.
08:32And then drives in his short with the right foot.
08:35It all came from that long clearance.
08:41And that fabulous little touch to get himself away from Ben Ali.
08:45That one there gives him the space.
08:48Driving in right across the goalkeeper, Altega.
08:51And a 2-0 lead here for Foucault.
08:56And his players.
08:58There's a delivery coming over.
09:00A chance for a long-range shot potentially.
09:02No, it's not going to happen.
09:03Alhouni.
09:03Alhouni shot!
09:05It's driven very well.
09:06Right-footed effort.
09:10Claiming.
09:18Not too sure, but in any case, it doesn't matter
09:21because that's the end of the first half.
09:23What a fabulously entertaining first 45.
09:29It's Libya-0.
09:30Botswana-2.
09:34And it's going to bolster this team as they go in search of goals
09:37because Botswana are leading two goals to nil.
09:41Two goals scored by Tumisango Reboni.
09:44A forward to bolster their attack to try and get another goal.
09:49Get a goal, in fact.
09:51But at the moment they're trailing two goals to nil.
09:55The ball comes over to the far side.
09:56It has been picked up here.
09:57And Sed Silay.
10:00Just pushed out a little bit too far to be able to do anything.
10:03There's the little deft chip coming over the chop.
10:06And a cross that's brought into the penalty box.
10:09And it's headed away at the back by Aldawi.
10:14Shots that have come in by Alhouni also are Shiloui.
10:18Mahmoud Alshiloui.
10:20Al-Itahan able to get his shot on target.
10:24He hasn't really been worried, has he?
10:26He's shaken Foucault, the goalkeeper.
10:28He's running Galaxy player.
10:31Let's see what Hamdou Alhouni can do here.
10:34me'll play.
10:40Alhouni, there's the delivery coming in.
10:42Relling around nicely!
10:44Solid header.
10:45And he stood firm.
10:49And then the goalkeeper.
10:53Too close to each other.
10:57Nice to the goalkeeper.
10:58touch there from El Habishi. Here's El Huni gets a long deep crossing. Pull it
11:03back behind, well he could have pulled it back, it was there for the taking, you
11:07could just see. There's the shot coming in, look at that, gone wide, quite close.
11:15El Simoad with a fine right-footed strike from the, yeah, more possession,
11:23holding the ball. Yeah, look at the strike there, taken well and Foucault doing
11:31really well. Here is El Sey. Mansoor back to El Sey on his left foot.
11:39There's the shot, it's not a bad drive. Takes the deflection off Mohit Siwa and the
11:45Tehat Tanjir play up.
11:53There's the delivery. Who's going to tidy things up? Hamdou El Huni.
12:04Nicely passed out to the right-hand side, a chance to get the delivery over.
12:08Hedda was death chipping. There was a bit of a touch there, so again it goes out.
12:15Wants to take a short one here. Mansoor's calling for it. It's not going to happen.
12:20Al Ghoshim, another substitute, will take this this time.
12:27Good delivery. Hedda direct towards goal and El Habishi couldn't even get it on target.
12:35You could see that's a strong challenge there. That's a brilliant effort just to get in there,
12:41very heroic. Coaches love that. The ball out wide. That's nicely done. Now they can move up in a
12:49position. You've got players. Cagamaniane is looking for it. It's gone high over the top.
12:54He could control. Puts it on his left foot. What a thumper of a shot. Denied there by El Tihar.
13:03First-class strike happens if you want, because they find themselves moving on up very quickly.
13:09And El Hooney picks it up. Gets the ball over. Not yet. He's going to put it on his right
13:14foot.
13:15Pulled back perfectly. There's a chance. On the left foot it goes.
13:20El Ghoshim this time. Looking for the one-two. Does really well. El Ghoshim gets it back across.
13:25It's been cleared. Danger. And these probing passes. El Hooney picks it up. The very busy Ahli player.
13:34High ball. Far post. Why didn't he go with his head and try and knock? Because you can see that
13:40El Tihar was already on it. And it's back in Botswana territory. Acres of space on the right-hand side.
13:48As they go and look for another shot on target. There's El Semoad. There's the ball into the penalty box.
13:54And, well, there's going to be a yellow card there.
13:59And El Hooney coming across and really getting in the way of the, of Alford Velapi.
14:10Clumsy challenge in the penalty box.
14:24And the right decision coming from the Congolese referee, Pierre-Jean Nguyené.
14:38El Hooney goes on a wander. He's got an overlap. Goes for a shot himself. He's rifled it low and
14:46outstretched goalkeeper. Foucault can't get near him. The goal scoring hero for Di Pizzi.
14:55Nice turn. Brilliant turn. Oh, the shot that came in. And that ball's gone back into the goalkeeper's hands.
15:01But how about that? That was sensational from El Semoad.
15:12Chico Molafe. Left back. 31 years of age. Plenty of experience.
15:19Let's go and see where this Libyan free kick goes. Defensive header. Solid one as well.
15:24Coming from Mosha Gaiola-Loi. And the Gaborone United player. Former Richards Bay player in South Africa.
15:35Distinct. Just, uh, bringing an end to that play as they get the quick corner going. It's gone over the
15:44top. It's a chance for a shot again. And this time you can see that El Maremi had
15:50lots of time to do. Collected there by Jador. Jador squares the ball. A chance. That's, uh,
15:56not a bad ball into the penalty box. Totally understood what he was trying to do.
16:01But, uh, El Maremi unable to do anything with it. There he is. El Maremi gets the ball back.
16:07God, it's just hit a little bit too hard.
16:11And the Botswana defenders all back behind the ball. There's the delivery. Nice header.
16:17No, Jador couldn't do anything with it. El Huni. El Huni on his right foot.
16:24Far post. An attempt for a header. Oh, he flips himself over the top of Mangolo.
16:29And, uh, down on the, on the deck, but...
16:45El Huni pulls it back. There's a chance. Two players queuing up. It's been set up. Brilliant shot.
16:51Brilliant goal. And finally, Libya get one back.
16:56The perfect drive from the edge of the penalty box. And Al Habisi has given Libya hope in the dying
17:07minutes of this opening group H encounter. Well, he scores and then he goes straight off.
17:17But that was the perfect response. But is it too late for the Mediterranean Knights
17:25to go?
17:28Racing back into this.
17:33Well, Johnson not getting in the way of the shot. Driven firmly to beat, uh,
17:38uh, Kutsunifoko.
17:45Tunisia playing Uganda in their opening clash.
17:51Well, again, they've got to be careful. It's been pulled back. There's a shot. It's driven in there
17:55by El Huni. And he had it up high and he couldn't keep it down.
18:01A little bit of cramp on the far side with El Huni. He was trying to get back up onto
18:05his fate.
18:05There's the ball from Abrahim into the penalty box. There's the header. Easily taken there by Foucault.
18:14There's the goal for the Botswana defense as El Huni collects it on the left side. Delivery into the
18:20penalty box. And, uh, El Saimouad unable to get there first.
18:27Oh, is that going to be a penalty? Johnson, he's pointed to the penalty spot. What a clumsy challenge
18:33that was. And Libya get themselves a penalty with less than two minutes to go in added time
18:40to try and score an equalizer. They would see them share the spoils. What an error from Johnson.
18:48Johnson. They would see them share the spoils. What an error from Johnson.
19:06I mean, you just can't throw yourself into the challenges like that.
19:09He was on the wrong side of the player.
19:11He was on the wrong side of the player. And just look at that. That is so clumsy.
19:22He's flying into, uh, Mouad El Saïd.
19:29Come on, come on. Come on, Riquette.
19:31Come on, Riquette.
19:31Come on, Riquette.
19:40Come on, Riquette.
19:41Come on, Riquette.
19:43Who will be the hero tonight?
19:48El Maremi with the right foot. He drives it into the corner. And there's the equalizer.
19:56What drama we've seen here in Tripoli tonight. And Libya have hauled themselves back into this game.
20:05And with a penalty in the sixth minute of added time, although it was only meant to be five minutes,
20:15they've got themselves back into this.
20:18It's Yusufa Dabo watches on. And it was perfectly hit into the corner, sending Godzio Nofoko the wrong way.
20:30And it was a very, very cool finish.
20:39And I think that I've just heard the final whistle.
20:47And it is, in fact, the end of the game. How about that, Libya?
20:50Yeah.
