00:00Jean-Louis Diouf of Senegal gets this game underway and oh that's a smashing drive that's
00:11taken out the front man by Izid.
00:16It's driven very well. Bongeli's got acceleration, can he get the ball back?
00:20He passes the ball back to no man, no man in his team, Labi Tabti is the player.
00:25Mezziani does well. Possession, it's all about MC Algier. Just one shot,
00:35constantly under pressure and that's a decent ball over to the left-hand side,
00:38the fans will enjoy that.
00:45I love the pressure play by Tippi Mezziani but they're really not allowing MC Algier to have
00:52too much time on the ball which is interesting but when you've got young
00:59whipsnappers, whippersnappers like you know the ages 17 and 18 and 19, they're gonna...
01:04Smoothly done and good understanding, an opportunity here, that's nicely done as well,
01:11give and go, picked up by Bongeli. Bongeli tries to get past his man into the penalty area,
01:16can he get the ball across? He does but there's no one there and that should have been buried
01:21but you have to understand where your teammates are going, Lumbu wasn't there to
01:25pounce and hit it into an empty net. Great work from Bongeli though, absolutely first-class running,
01:33dancing into the penalty box and getting his ball back across but yeah, leave it for your teammate,
01:39he'll throw it at Halemiya. Well, free kick, that will be a free kick and you can see that
01:46he crashed down to the Grand Mezziani, what's well, it was inside of the penalty box.
01:55Let's get the react, well this is a massive reaction here from Tippi Mezziani because
02:06you know what, you know that's a brave call but I think it's the right call,
02:12contact was made and it honestly by Kalonji
02:19as he was Gennigali's goalkeeper. Akram Bouras with the left foot, oh, driven directly into the
02:28middle, high, powerful and into the back of the net to open the scores here, MCLG are taking the
02:37lead against Tippi Mazembe from the penalty spot, the 12th player, the fans jumping with joy,
02:46very happy here, the start to 5th of July 1962 and the Algerians take the lead with just under
02:5610 minutes to go, driven perfectly with that left foot of his, straight down the middle,
03:03fatty dive to the left and it was home and dry.
03:16Well, there's the halftime whistle and well, it's a goal that's been scored for MCLG,
03:23plenty of entertainment here, there's no doubt about it, we're not short of entertainment but
03:26the halftime scores, MCLG 1, Tippi Mazembe 0. Akram Bouras's 36th minute penalty,
03:38separating these two teams here on match day five,
03:42Group A of the Total Energy's CAF Champions League. There he is, Hassani.
03:49There we go then for the second half, he's 22 years of age, Hassani and played 24 minutes.
04:06Trying to keep the ball in play unsuccessfully.
04:13Ball comes out to the right-hand side.
04:19Ziani looking for a little bit of space
04:25and it's going to be Tippi Mazembe who pick up possession.
04:33Blasted upfield by Johnson Atibu and a little, here it goes into the goalkeeper who punches it
04:45away, Ramdan, well there's Bongeli, he's got the ball here, back across but it's offside.
04:52Final clash is of course MCLG against Young Africans so that means that
05:01firmly in control of this, I'm saying firmly in control, that's a great bit of running,
05:07great opportunity and the shot saved there by Fatih and it was a decent shot coming in
05:14from Andy Delort.
05:22Great running through onto the loose ball, Hamidi will take this with the right foot
05:29down into the corner.
05:32Delort, nice touch, gets the ball back, oh it's brilliant, oh it's a great save as well
05:39and the goalkeeper comes to the rescue. You can see that that was super close wasn't it but
05:49he's down on the ground.
05:58Let's just have a look at this again, this is wonderful, that is perfect from Delort,
06:03the ball came back, he handballed it didn't he, when it came back into his path
06:12and then he went down, cleaning those contact on his ankles but in any case
06:18handball offence was the reason why that came to an end. Two minutes remaining, not even
06:24with Ibrahim Akita down the line to Fofana, Fofana trying to deal with his man.
06:33To Tanzania to take on young Africans in the final grouper encounter.
06:42They will celebrate, they'll wait
06:48and they will hope that the right result comes their way tomorrow
06:55so they don't have to worry about the away trip to Tanzania on match day six.
07:03Well they've given the ball away, it's an opportunity,
07:11oh that's not the right pass to Fofana and it's easily distinguished at the back there
07:17by Kamil Hamidi.
07:21Frustration continues
07:23as we enter the final minutes here in Algiers.
07:45Well they call this team the people's club, the Joyenne, the Meludia.
07:53They would love to find themselves
07:59in a good position and there might be a yellow card for Keiser, yes it is.
08:05And a frustration charging into that challenge
08:10like a rhino
08:15but that's the frustration of a player who's put in a really good performance tonight
08:19but walks away, you can't put your arm up, then Kamasa goes down, folds
08:27under the challenge, he's been physical, he's put himself on the line constantly.
08:36Well these are the fans
08:42that we'll be celebrating tonight
08:44as we play out the last phase of the game, the last play potentially.
08:59Don't want to concede a goal now of course, MC Alger.
09:04There's the final whistle and the fans celebrate, Khaled Ben Yahya celebrates.
09:11They've got one step in the quarterfinals.
09:19They get three points from this that takes them to eight, they're four ahead of young Africans
09:25who've got to play two more games, one of them against MC Alger but this is a job done.
09:31Hasn't been easy but they've achieved their goal and their goal was scored by Akram Bouras
09:37from the penalty spot in the 36th minute. The final score here in Algiers, MC Alger 1-0.
09:53Well that 1-0 scoreline means that Tipe Mzenbe will not be able to qualify for the quarterfinals.
10:00They will not be able to.
