00:00So we are underway as Esperance of Tunisia look for a fifth
00:29African crowd one that would take them a level in second place of all the teams
00:38to have won. Into the middle it goes is this an early opportunity was good
00:46defending good block a little push in the black by Belayli on in Belayli
00:58nice little ball through into the middle it goes and into the back of the net it
01:03goes Rayed Bushneba well it didn't have much power and it's not something that
01:10Yusuf Koita the Jolly Bird goalkeeper is gonna want to look at again because that
01:17just dribbled through but it is the perfect start for Esperance seconds on
01:23the clock and found by Yusuf Belayli and look at this how on earth did he miss
01:30that and no wonder he holds his head in his hands the 24 year old that is meat
01:36and drink for a goalkeeper but not on this occasion and Esperance lead and it
01:46is the very worst possible start for the visitors
01:56Scrappy looking for Mokwana on the right-hand side he manages to pick it up
02:01onto his left foot Mokwana straight at Koita
02:05Elias Mokwana 25 year old South African international and in Nations Cup
02:13qualifiers last month all his caps have come since March's that's headed over
02:21thumping the ground in frustration is Hamza Jalassi met that really well did
02:30the big centre back good power scored against
02:41vital touch to take it away and then a little deflection means that Koita takes
02:47absolutely no chances and tips that behind for another corner good struts
02:53out chance here for Joliba they need to make this count and on the turn
02:59Diabate cannot hit the target but at least it's a strike on goal from Joliba
03:05in this competition in the second round swung in and headed away and it's an
03:09important header as well by Marriott he's still going chance here volleyed
03:14over it was Diabate who hit it after Mariko showed some pretty neat
03:21dexterity to hold on to the ball and effectively create the chance for
03:27Diabate for that touch to set it up leaning back
03:37excellent bouncy play ripples of laws Al Hulu
03:42Makwana is in here can he get the shots away he can't oh that was a glorious
03:47opportunity for Esperance to double their lead lovely touch from Makwana
03:55into Rodriguez and he just doesn't have his radar on and his Rodriguez
04:04Makwana ahead of him a lot of space on the left for Belayli here is Belayli
04:08the first touch the back heel and Makwana doesn't miss from there and he
04:14makes it two and Esperance are cruising and Elias and Makwana of South Africa
04:21that's his first goal in the African Champions League for Esperance and it
04:28was put on a plate for him by Youssef Belayli and he missed one just a few
04:35minutes ago but he wasn't going to make any mistake from there Makwana and the
04:4025 year old has his goal and he's got a celebration too thought about the shot
04:48Belayli then when it didn't come to him it was the simplest of back heels and
04:54just some hesitation and look how it's punished at the top level of club
05:00football he's in the back of his head from Belayli
05:12easy as you like
05:18from Makwana
05:22in football
05:29plenty to work on in the second half for the visitors and their coach Denver
05:33Mamadou Traoré meanwhile for Esperance it will be business as usual that early
05:41goal from not only the semifinals but also the final itself now we joined just
05:50over a year ago from the Nigerian League
05:57still a young man
06:04Diabate, Diabate forcing the save from Mamish he just got clear
06:11space on the left-hand side really nicely found by Ogbele
06:17Konate it's a nice flowing move from Esperance and the header from Rodriguez
06:24you see that in North African football I wish we didn't strike a goal and strike
06:31wide of Koita and it remains 2-0 to it. Ogbele again he's gonna play Makwana
06:37here and they're steaming forward into the area one in the middle is Konate
06:41over him free header expertly taken by Bugheira to make it Esperance 3
06:49Jolly Bernil and Makwana who scored one has now made one and that was put on a
06:56plate for Oussama Bugheira and he took it expertly well really did had a lot of
07:05time but he got it absolutely spot-on look at the delivery and look at the
07:15finish
07:21expert stuff Koita no chance whatsoever with that one
07:35Jalloh again two in the middle that's a better cross from him he just could get
07:48over it nicely played into Ben Ali on a plate it comes and that is the fourth
07:55deep into stoppage time Kusei Benmacha sealing a thumping victory for
08:04Esperance against the debutants Jolly Bern and he took it so coolly and that's
08:13a look that sums up the feeling of the Mali inside on their Champions League
08:17group stage debut took it really well precision finish from the substitute at
08:27the finish of the game and Esperance have won by four clear goals just as
08:38group D rivals pyramids of Egypt did earlier but the final whistle has blown
08:48the last kick of the game seeing that fourth and final goal from Esperance
08:55look at the smile on the face of Macha and they go joint top of the group
09:03alongside pyramids it was always felt that Jolly Bern of Mali and Segredo
09:07Esperance of Angola would struggle
