00:02The 8th edition of the Total Energies
00:05Kav Futsal Africa Cup of Nations here in Morocco is the second match of the
00:16tournament the first featuring the home side Morocco taking on their local
00:22rivals Algeria it's quite a gap in experience between the two sides
00:33Morocco three-time champions reigning three-time champions they have one most
00:39recent it's a good challenge from wasim sishaib
00:59space opening up here for the shot in flit it was a very unselfish pass in the
01:04end by anas elayan 90 seconds on the clock our first real attempt on goal from
01:11Morocco here for disguised bus from elayan
01:25the low ball forwards route one from teffa to touch your dad
01:35it's actually why did but tacky when I not the number four in the traditional
01:42number nine role while he better key
01:47shots nearly turned into a pass there from by Kali into the feet of rice
01:53Elfenny to the original starters nearly combining for the opener we're almost
01:58half way through the opening period here still deadlock remains unbroken
02:05still deadlock remains unbroken
02:05still deadlock remains unbroken Kali teasing it's opposite number to create the
02:15angle for the killer pass teammates trying to find a space to receive said
02:20pass knocked on there by Elmezroth not to rush to Faf but
02:28They're so uncharted territory, meanwhile, for their opponents today, Algeria.
02:34First successful qualification for the Afghan finals.
02:54And coming on in leaps and bounds under that man, Ben Amrouche.
03:01By 2023, having reinforced the squad with Diaspora players, many of whom are based in France.
03:08The team significantly improving.
03:11Ultimately went on to claim bronze at the finals and reach the World Cup.
03:16Now, Rocco with a disguise pass and it creates the opener.
03:21A free kick straight from training.
03:24Teed up, Yunus Mkhazri.
03:27The deadlock is finally broken.
03:34Really neatly done by Bilal Pakali.
03:38Everyone expecting the shot.
03:41The third free kick for Morocco.
03:46It was third time that the Lions teed up perfectly.
03:54And then equally bent perfectly into the bottom corner.
04:01Four players in the entire match.
04:03It is a two-minute effective timeout.
04:04But the player who received the red card will be out permanently.
04:18If they concede within that two minutes, they will be returned to full strength immediately, however.
04:27Really nicely done.
04:29Great dribbling from Elidrissi.
04:30And here's the final touch.
04:32Applied practically on the line.
04:35Rocco.
04:36Oh, now two goals to the good.
04:38Curse of that sliding effort from Juad.
04:51And they were made to work for their opener.
04:53Having opened...
04:56It was stunning work from Elidrissi.
05:02Heading just wide.
05:03The right decision to ensure it's found the net from Juad.
05:10That's his first of the tournament to manage four.
05:16On to the feet of the first goal scorer, Unis Nkazri.
05:22It's been well won back, but the pass wasn't quite to the feet of Rysel Feni.
05:29Nonetheless, they are literally bouncing in the stands.
05:36Had to wait for the opener, but now...
05:39Party time in Rabat.
05:42So we get our first timeout called by Algeria.
05:46Our head coach, Ben Amrouche.
05:49One for each coach in each half.
05:52Last 60 seconds apiece.
05:57Clearly a tweak to the tactics.
06:03So here we go again.
06:0620 minutes of action guaranteed.
06:10Those just joining us may be new to...
06:13Futsal.
06:14The clock stops every time the ball goes out of play.
06:1720 minutes on the clock.
06:19It'll take us more like 30 or 40 to get through the remainder of this match.
06:26Morocco picking up where they left off in the first half.
06:29Dominating the ball.
06:31Moving it around swiftly.
06:33Making Algeria work.
06:35They were really well drilled.
06:37They were really well drilled, resilient in defence of the Fenix.
06:39Their first ever AFCON finals game.
06:42And very much thrown in at the deep end against the three-time champions the last three editions.
06:49Each one by the Atlas Lions.
06:51Fresh legs coming on.
06:53Well, they make the difference.
06:57One of them is Amazal.
07:05Unsurprisingly taken off after that yellow card.
07:09First foul of the second half.
07:13Reminder.
07:15Just joining us.
07:17As Amarokko very nearly make it 3-0.
07:20Head in hands.
07:21There for...
07:24...Johad who scored the second.
07:27Loosely translates as the Association for...
07:31...Centers for Aid and Relief to Adolescents.
07:37It was started not as a professional sports franchise...
07:41...but as a neighbourhood social project in the 90s.
07:45Now in the top division of French Futsal.
07:49The group initially set up as an outreach...
07:55...for troubled youths and teams around the Paris area.
08:02Trouble here maybe Algeria and indeed they are.
08:05There is the third.
08:05It's been coming.
08:08And it's the man who so nearly scored it.
08:10A couple of minutes ago.
08:12Yusuf Juad does get his second.
08:15Amarokko's third.
08:16And that's the second time of asking.
08:18The second time in quick succession.
08:22This time picked out by Amarzal.
08:25Not receiving the gifts but giving them.
08:37It's a nicely worked move from Algeria.
08:40Not just a breakaway this time.
08:44Spell of passing.
08:45Can they apply the finishing touch?
08:47Give Morocco something to think about.
08:50They couldn't in the end.
08:51Haddad's pass cut out.
08:53That's better though from the Fenix.
09:00The band plays on.
09:03Algeria sinking ship.
09:0712 minutes remaining.
09:093-0 down.
09:11Is it about to be 4?
09:12Not this time.
09:14Bilal Bakali fires just wide.
09:175-0 down.
09:186-0 down.
