01:00looking to create some space. Aiming for Bayer at the back post. Here come
01:06Morko again. No chances taken by Roger Simumba but it was certainly heading
01:15wide. He certainly was across just waiting to see if he was half looking at
01:25the goal. It wasn't too far away after a Shabab Mohammadiyya player in the 50s
01:31and 60s has an opportunistic effort from Nirongo. Carries it on, goes for another
01:41one too. It wasn't far away from coming off. It's picked up by Mahoub again. It
01:49ripples the net from Ziad Bayer but the wrong side of it from a home
01:55perspective. There were a few cheers thought that had gone the other side of
02:00the post. It wasn't far away.
02:12Despite their relative struggles on the continental stage remain the most
02:15successful team in Kassafa under-17 history. Won the regional championship
02:21four times. Van Mochtar, a shot that whistles a little wide again. Simumba had
02:31that one covered too. Hands possession straight back to the hosts. No
02:45chances taken by Roger Simumba. Leaves it to El-Kalfioui. Struck from range. Had to
03:01be saved by Simumba. We cut back. It's delivered in by Bel Mochtar. On to the
03:09head of Bayer. He's getting into the right positions. He's just not applying
03:15the right finishing touch. This one headed well over the bar. It was under
03:24pressure.
03:31Would that be the case three to half time though? Bel Mochtar in on goal.
03:37Important challenge. Denying him an opportunity. Two number 11s coming
03:44together. Sabini coming out on top. Mochtar, so a goal kick and that the final
03:53action of the first half. Well no goals but a pretty entertaining first 45
04:01minutes of football here in Mohamedia. These two teams scored nine but now
04:11we'll see what Ian Bacala's halftime team talk can do for their chances here
04:17as we head into the second half.
04:20Zambia now shooting from left to right in orange and black and Kelvin Malinga
04:32to be a touch careful now. White shirts for company and now it's Wazan back to
04:47El-Kalfioui. It's spilt and as Ahmed Mohoub trying to force it out from
04:55underneath Roger Simamba. The referee does blow for a free kick. Nervous moment
05:02though forcing this corner. Flicked on again by Bayer at the front post.
05:11Bent into the far post. Parried away by Simamba. Wahabi will pick it up. Morocco
05:23throw right over by the corner flag for Morocco in that UNEF Under-17
05:32Championship. Three goals. Effort from range is a good one. Out of nothing for
05:41Zambia. Andrew Mwappe letting fly and that was heading for the bottom corner.
05:47Billy Dacca turns on the edge of the air. Take a touch though I think. This one
05:53didn't take a touch. Skidded on through. Forced the first real piece of goal
06:00keeping work from Shoei Belarus. Just a slightly heavy touch. It was a rather
06:10desperate challenge. My captain was worried. He's been beckoned over.
06:19Van Sonkabouri reaches for his back pocket and shows the Morocco captain the
06:25red card. Debated the decision for almost five minutes.
06:32Riyad will of course now miss the final group game. That's almost immediately
06:38effective. Punched away by Belarus after had been missed by almost everyone in
06:45front of him somehow. Great delivery in from Banda to fill the void of his
06:51captain as much as he can. This game has been turned on its head. Zambia
06:58suddenly the team with the wind in their sails, the ball at their feet.
07:04Produce the red card. Skipping past one. Not catching the shot quite right.
07:12Here's the chance. Saved by Belarus. Acrobatic attempt on the rebound from
07:23Jansa. Towards goal. That's gonna drop for Gabriel Piri. Substitute came off a
07:35Morocco player. It did indeed. It was a narrow angle though. Asking a lot to run
07:44at Moape. Number three versus number three. That's left and erroneously left.
07:52What will he do? But that will be that. Final whistle blows in Mohamed here. The
08:03hosts dominated the first hour of this game but after a lengthy...
