00:00 Good afternoon and welcome. It's a historic day for African football as the inaugural edition of the African Football League kicks off today in Dar es Salaam.
00:10 It's an athlete of Egypt up against Tanzania's Simba today.
00:24 There's a chance here perhaps for Ali right before half-time and they have struck the opening goal in first half stoppage time.
00:31 It's Moroccan Reda Slim and Simba have been caught out right at the end of the first half here.
00:38 As I was saying, swung back in once more, better looking ball.
00:47 Stayed in play too, hooked across goal and they have the equaliser and it's Kibou Denis turning home from points blank range.
00:56 And it's in! And it's 2-1.
01:09 Heder at the near post, skips beyond Mohamed El-Shanawi and it was Sadio Kanute I think, the substitute.
01:17 Cross goal and it's tipped away but there is Karibat with the equaliser.
01:28 Minutes after falling behind and with the momentum seemingly well and truly against them.
01:38 Ball into the feet of Aleke.
01:40 Chamat lays it off first time, off the crossbar, what a hit that was!
01:45 Desperately unlucky, ball stayed in play as well.
01:49 Final whistle all over in Dar es Salaam between Simba and Al-Ali.
01:56 Finishes on as even at two goals apiece.
01:59 Goals apiece.
