00:00And there is the whistle, and it will be the visitors who kick off, Simba from Tanzania
00:07playing in all white, attacking from right to left of your picture.
00:13It's a clumsy touch, the second one is better, thankfully for him, and he recovered well
00:23in midfield, and wins the first free kick of the game, good play, here comes Simba again,
00:39Ruben kept his nerve and composure, nicely done, I think he, well let's hope that can
00:55inspire the home side Bravos, make a game of it, because up until then, it's been very
01:01good.
01:02And there's the opening goal, what a mistake, in the heart of the centre defence, and capitalised
01:10on by the home side, unbelievable mistake, did not see that coming whatsoever, well that's
01:21a delight for the Bravos coach Miro, and the fans, terrific finish, but we really need
01:33to see that again, and soon, the danger seems to have been cleared, and then the back pass,
01:43you could hardly call it that, the South African, Masiha Talhaga, pouncing on the gift,
01:54let's take another look, there, danger seems over, and look at that for a poor pass, great
02:02awareness by Masiha Talhaga, stuck out of boots, and his shot goes over the desperate
02:11outstretched arm of the goalkeeper, Musa Kamara, great angle, oh he's delighted, well
02:24he might be.
02:25Contact with Ruben, over half kicked off with total domination by the visitors Simba, first
02:3915 minutes, or the first 10 I should say, I think Bravos just had one attack, or one
02:47foray into their attacking half, but then against the run of play, the goal by the South
02:53African wing, Masiha Talhaga, against the run of play, has proven the only goal of the
03:02half, there he is, here we can see, Masiha Talhaga, South African scoring against a team
03:16coached by South Africa, I want you to stay with us and we'll bring you highlights of
03:21that first half.
03:22Two degrees is the temperature, the humidity up at 58%, referee Jean Ouattara blows his
03:34whistle and Bravos kick off, lucky to defend their slender one goal lead, if you miss the
03:42first half, the only goal of the opening 45 came from the South African winger Masiha
03:50Talhaga, here they are on the counter again, Machiavelli, far wide and that's well claimed,
03:59very well claimed indeed, great ball in, it was a cross, temporary respite for Bravos
04:15because here come the visitors again, good ball in, here's a chance, there's the equaliser,
04:221-1, appeals for handball by the host Bravos, referee doesn't look too interested, their
04:32perseverance and pressure finally pays off, and look what it means to them, players on
04:42the pitch and the substitutes, that's what they came for, that will change the dynamic
04:51of the group as well, only in the end it was a half chance, brings his hands together in
05:05a gesture, really worth another look, it's a good ball in, not dealt with, and look at
05:12that, easily put in, back up on there, and then Ateba, the striker, doing what he's paid
05:23to do, great awareness and composure, kept his cool, didn't panic, just slotted the ball
05:32through the goalkeeper's legs, play in a white shirt and here they come again, all the way
05:37through, golden opportunity to bury the game, oh brilliant save, whistle's gone, the follow-up
05:46wouldn't have counted anyway, if Simba draw at home against group leaders Constantine,
05:52that's the state of play, that's why victory here today was crucial for Bravos, they put them in
06:02control of their destiny, the scoreline as it is, Ambo, clearly by substitute Celio Zoua,
06:13if the scoreline stays 1-1, Bravos' destiny and fate will be out of their hands,
06:23Shaniwatara, imposing his authority at the end of the game, you really are, there's just 20
06:37seconds left on the clock, Capombe, happy to count down that clock, ball over the top to Fernandes,
06:46they avoid the throat, well they avoid what he thought was a corner kick, did Angelo,
06:56not convinced myself, I think that would have been a goal kick, but no matter, the five minutes
07:03of stoppage time are up and there is the final whistle from referee Shaniwatara, final score
07:10here, Bravos 1, Simba 1, two celebrations by Simba, they're fully confident, really confident,
07:24that takes them up, final score here, Bravos 1, Simba 1, the host opened the scoring on 13
07:39minutes, only for the Tanzanian visitors Simba to equalise, with 20 minutes left to go.
08:01Do stay with us, of course, for the final match statistics, as well as the highlights.
