00:00Welcome back to Ismailia, as the teams come out for this...
00:18...come to that in a moment. Momo camera just over hit it, but unable to latch onto it.
00:26But that was a very very promising opening for Sierra Leone.
00:30Which they were unable to profit from just too much on the pass from Momo camera.
00:38The press won them possession, and this was a fairly routine pass.
00:44For Sierra Leone, into the middle it goes, it's this Tanzania's first ever goal!
00:49At these 20-25 African under 20 Kappa nations and you know that it is not.
00:56How on earth did he miss that?
00:59Well that was a chance for Tanzania.
01:05And Bakari to give his side the lead at the under 20 AFCON for the first time ever.
01:13And you are not going to get a better chance than that.
01:17Across the face of goal, he just couldn't sort his feet out.
01:21It is a horror miss.
01:25From Tanzania's number 11.
01:27That is surely going to be offside.
01:29As soon as he touches this, it will be.
01:31I mean he is in, and the ball is in the back of the net.
01:33And it should theoretically be a moment to save it, but he was a mile offside in the build-up.
01:43I think he might have known it as well.
01:45And it is in the back of the net.
01:47And it is in the back of the net.
01:49And it is going to go back.
01:51And it is in the back of the net.
01:53where the back of the net is, took it nicely, opening up his body, to Salyouba, to the byline,
02:01nice cross in, and he's going to find a player in green, Jalo, strike a goal for Mohamed Kamara,
02:07and into the back of the net, it goes on the rebound, it's not going to count though, well
02:12Gandhi thought he had finally got his first goal of the tournament, but the flag went up instantly
02:18for offside, the strike from Mohamed Kamara, just too hot for handle for Ismael and Pank.
02:29It was a really good volley, and he's certainly not offside, Gandhi, and this surely will need
02:37to be checked because Gandhi was most confused, I know lots of players look that way after
02:43they have infringements go against them, but we could clearly see there that he was very
02:48much onside, there was a Sierra Leone in an offside position, he was not interfering with play.
02:59And they will be going to the VAR, well they will be awarding the goal instead, straight away,
03:05Sierra Leone lead, and Samuel Gandhi has his first goal of the tournament, he's been made
03:12to wait in more ways than one, look at the smile that comes out.
03:16It's going to need something special to go in from here surely, can Mohamed Fafana deliver
03:22that and double Sierra Leone's lead, he doesn't take it, swung it, straight at Umpank.
03:30Nathaniel Jalo, as the referee blows for half-time, a half the Tanzania will look back on with real
03:40regrets because Bakari Msimu had a glorious chance to give them the lead only to spurn an open goal
03:48and so allow that honour to go to Samuel Gandhi.
03:51Samuel having done that so well, last time out, Ghana, the only African nation still to have ever won the tournament
04:00back in 2009 on Egyptian soil, in the run-up to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa on African soil of course.
04:09South Africa on African soil of course.
04:12It feels good.
04:13Kibeku, bit of space, Naushad with the strike on the turn, and it's much brighter.
04:25Pipino, in the swinger, headed on, because the keeper came and missed, and the Tanzania missed
04:33as well.
04:35Well, they are getting closer, they just cannot find this elusive goal.
04:43Jalo, all at sea, and Jami Jr, and he got the touch.
04:50Look how close that was, millimetres away from him.
04:57Sierra Leone with a chance to make that academic, excellent ball in, but they can't keep the header down.
05:05They can't keep the header down.
05:09And it was Carbo, who's just come on.
05:13Gandhi, good play from him.
05:15He's coming to the middle, it's a camera.
05:17He just can't get a hold of it, and it will be tipped behind for a corner.
05:22And when he was winding up the spectacular volley, Mumu Kamara, he sliced at it.
05:39Mumu Kamara, back to Kamara.
05:43Back to Keita.
05:44It's a striker goal, was it?
05:47See if he crumbles.
05:51Bakari and Pipino standing over this.
05:57Can Tanzania find an equaliser that their players arguably deserve?
06:02Pipino with the strike, and Pipino into the side netting.
06:06Well, it was a decent effort from the Tanzania midfielder.
06:11A little wide in the end.
06:18Decent bend and pace on it.
06:21Just having the majority of possession in this half.
06:25Mumu Kamara in the middle.
06:27And Pank came and missed.
06:33Sierra Leone will have the possession here.
06:41Just a touch from Mumu Kamara.
06:51Drops the shoulder when he could have played it forward.
06:58Striker goal from distance.
07:00Just needs a glass if the delivery is good enough.
07:05And it did get a glass and it came off Cabo.
07:08And it's a corner tick twice for Tanzania.
07:13Decent header away from Cialo.
07:18Swung in deep and they're queuing up at the back stick.
07:20Chance here for Vadastas.
07:22And it's blocked.
07:25Loose.
07:26No more camera.
07:28Into Cabo.
07:29Cabo to win it for Sierra Leone.
07:32And a swinger.
07:33And it's just wide a goal.
07:36And it was Fauna in the end with the strike.
07:39And they've not had too many sightings of the Tanzanian goal this half.
07:46It looks as though Cabo was going to be the man here.
07:51Excellent defensive play.
07:55Well there's no time for the throw.
07:57And Sierra Leoneans sink to their knees as well as Tanzanians.
08:01And it's the Sierra Leoneans, the West Africans who do so in delight and relief as well I'm sure.
08:08Because they have won their second game out of three in their first ever under 20 Africa Cup of Nations.
08:15A draw against Zambia followed by...
08:18A draw against Zambia.
