00:00The decision day in the group phase at this year's Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations, Angola
00:11kicking off against the Central African Republic, still in with a chance of reaching the quarter-finals
00:17if they get a victory here and Cote d'Ivoire lose at the same time and there is a sufficient
00:22swing in terms of goal difference.
00:27Red shirts in the penalty box waiting for the cross to come in, the corner played short
00:31now the cross comes in, the header from Jadon Puna was well off target in the end the Angolans
00:39have won themselves another corner, again it's played short, cleverly worked by Angola
00:49and the shot has rebounded off the frame, Cabral with the throw-in helped on by Denzel
00:59Leunen, the goalkeeper rushing out to collect for the Central African Republic, dropping
01:06out following the last match, what can Angola do from the free kick, Marcos Raimundo plays
01:17it back the way, Jadon Moana good ball in from him from the left-hand side, as you see
01:27the replay the corner played short, flighted towards the back post the goalkeeper again
01:31gets an important touch and appeals for a penalty, it's been given, Angola get the spot
01:36kick, 12 minutes in here in El Jadida, a chance for them to get the breakthrough, Omar Oliveira
01:45the player brought down, well they've been piling the pressure on the opposition goal
01:52in the early stages and excellent control from Oliveira, who is chopped down inside
01:59the box by Betolum, the player who was just booked a few moments ago and he will be walking
02:07a tightrope, captain Delfin Luau from the spot for Angola scores and they've got the
02:15early breakthrough that they were looking for, they have to win this game to stand any
02:20chance of finishing in second place and qualifying for the knockout phase and they lead by goal
02:27to nil, Delfin Luau sending the goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot, Cooley
02:39converted by the skipper and that's 1-0, captain is one of them, now then the break
02:54of the ball is kind to Tule Fova, comes back for the shot, Betolum trying to make it, 4-1
03:06down at halftime, goalkeeper red carded inside 31 minutes, crossing from the Angolan right
03:14turn behind by Selenbe, the Central African, Jadon Puna with the long ball forward, brought
03:22down by Denzel Leunen, from the angle it's 2-0, beautifully tucked away by the Angolan
03:29number 10, it's an excellent finish and that leaves Palanquinhas in a really strong position
03:43to register their first win of this campaign, the long ball forward brought down on the
03:46chest by Denzel Leunen and slotting it low beyond the goalkeeper into the far corner,
03:54it's an expert finish and the Angolans leading by two goals to nil here, Portugal, McFoy playing
04:11the corner short here, gets it back again, French base number 10 floats the ball to the
04:16back post and they free header, this is Luau the skipper, thought about the shot then
04:26supplies it back to Jadon Moana and the attempted overhead kick from Jadon Moana, to get away
04:36from Titalon which he's done, it's a really clever ball through, Denzel Leunen again,
04:41I think he was possibly trying to unselfishly,
04:52could be it again, flag staying down for the moment, chance to make it three this time,
04:56the shot is off target, the offside flag eventually,
05:01the pressing nearly causing the Central African Republic to lose the ball inside their own penalty
05:14box, we've reached halftime here in El Jadida, it's been fairly one-sided in this first half,
05:25Angola 2-0 up in this final, Central African Republic get us underway then in the second
05:34half of this final Group D game, the Angolans leading by two goals to nil, Delfim Luau with
05:42the penalty and Denzel Leunen adding to the lead as the arms in an unnatural position will be penalised,
05:55Central African Republic looking to get a goal back but they're not, Jadon Moana beautifully done,
06:03at the pace of Elisil Francisco might keep this in play, he's clearly brought down by
06:08the goalkeeper and it's a second penalty for Angola, goodness me, you can almost see that
06:19happening in slow motion, great pace from Elisil Francisco, sharper than the Central
06:24African Republic defenders and Ousmane Binkimal the goalkeeper coming up, coming out of his
06:30six-yard box trying to deal with that himself and really he stood very little chance of getting to
06:36that ball, clearly brings down the Angolan number 18 and the Moroccan referee pointing to the spot.
06:54Now, the penalty is cancelled
07:10but here come Angola again down that left-hand side, Omar Oliveira
07:14back towards Jadon Moano helps it on, Denzel Leunen who was ready to take the penalty a few moments ago,
07:21still alive here, this is Sandro Giannina
07:30and the challenge coming in from Denzel Leunen, that will be a
07:37Oliveira, there's that space on the left again,
07:41Elisil Francisco comes inside up against Palanda, needs to be really careful and it's been turned in
07:48the third goal, Denzel Leunen claims it, tapping it in on the line, it's the second of the game for him
07:59and Angola really are out of sight now
08:09once more the goal coming, thanks to all that space that Angola have on the left,
08:14Elisil Francisco coming inside Josue Palanda and it's tapped in to an empty net
08:22by Denzel Leunen, who appears to be emerging from an onside position
08:27another substitution for them
08:44Angola in again here, around the goalkeeper Jadon Moana to make it four nil
08:49straight from the kickoff and Angola running riot, he's had a pretty impressive tournament
08:58Jadon Moana, lots of energy for the number 14, such a lively player and he is rewarded now with a goal
09:07too easy really for Angola, Jadon Moana in between the two defenders and
09:14Giovanni Guida having just come on as a substitute in goal
09:20left hopelessly exposed
09:25he is beaten, and Angola heading for a big victory
09:32he is beaten
09:34and Angola heading for a big victory
09:42in continental Africa but they have a huge tradition
09:46at this great event which has got better and better over the years and maybe an early chance
09:51it is an early chance for Tunisia has come all the cross and well they can't clear their lines
09:56and finally it's held by member Jame Haj Abdallah was there
10:04and Angola could be in again, Puna squaring it for Denzel Leunen
10:12and the celebration's cut short, he thought he had a hat trick
10:18Jadon Puna making the run early, I'm not sure that he is offside that's
10:22I think why the flag has come up, Puna then squaring it for Denzel Leunen to finish coolly
10:31I think that goal may well stand, it will be checked very closely, he'll have to draw the lines
10:38to determine whether there is an offside at the beginning of the move
10:53the goal's good, no offside and that means that the goal stands
11:00Denzel Leunen can make two changes which they are going to do
11:07well we're slotting it through for Romano Oliveira, cut back and it's eventually turned in
11:14the goal stands, it's 6-0, well the goalkeeper made the stop initially
11:21but the ball fell kindly and Paolo Luvumbo is the player running away in celebration to substitute the number nine
11:31and we'll see from this angle the pass for Romano Oliveira
11:36there will be I suspect possibly quite a long check here because nothing wrong with the initial
11:45ball from Romano Oliveira then the save, ball ricocheting up but striking Paolo Luvumbo who
11:52turns it in with the back, big win for Angola and a defeat for the Côte d'Ivoire
11:59and Angola could be heading through to the quarterfinals
12:03instead of the Ivorians, at the moment Angola are heading for that big victory
12:10but this goal I think is going to be disallowed
12:18and it's a handball and that's why Paolo Luvumbo's effort will not stand
12:25it's been a very comprehensive display from this Angolan team it's going to be a very
12:31comprehensive victory but it looks like it's only going to be sufficient for them to advance to the playoff
12:41third place meaning a playoff for a spot at the under-17 world cup
12:47a chance maybe for the Central Africans to pull one back they've done that great strike
12:54brought down on the chest and lashed into the net
12:57they reduced the deficit to make it 5-1
13:02something to shout about at long last today for the Central African Republic
13:08they are going to bow out of this tournament with three defeats out of three but that was a fine finish
13:15but that was a fine finish
13:21Anand Jefferson-Otto with the goal he took it really well
13:27and both Central African goals here at the competition have been scored by him the number 12
13:37it's a good ball fed through Bogote
13:41looking for a teammate on the other side of the penalty box
13:46all the way across towards Bogote again and he couldn't connect with it it seemed to be a slightly awkward bounce
13:58Angola coming forward again
14:01coming at a sixth it might be in here Jairo Moana he scores
14:07it's his second of the game and 6-1 for Angola
14:15so
14:25well the Central African Republic defense wide open once again
14:29Jairo Moana running unchecked into the penalty box and slotting into the net
14:37hat-trick for Denzel Leuna
14:40a couple from Moana as well
14:46so
14:57loses out Jairo Moana coming forward again but there will be no more time
15:02the final whistle goes a big victory here for Angola today in El Jadida they have
15:09outclassed the Central African Republic and they have registered their first win
15:15so
