00:03 Pleased to report that not a single game
00:10 in the first round of group games
00:12 has ended goalless, as we've got a goal here.

02:33 3-3.
02:36 It's a defender.
02:38 Aaron Chipola.
02:41 Still Gavanski's being sent the wrong way, isn't he?
02:44 Yeah.
02:45 Gavanski's still looking for that first save.
02:48 Good in a really good shift for the Leopards.
02:52 Must score, otherwise it's game over.
02:58 [WHISTLE BLOWS]
03:05 Gavanski in his way.

03:22 Nonga is a center man.
03:27 It's Henneken Nonga.
03:35 Gavanski got a touch on it, but it wasn't enough.
03:38 Having missed the penalty, Aaron having to come back
03:41 and try to save this one from Bassi.
03:44 A little bright smile there from Lino Bassi.

04:21 Oh, that's lovely.
04:22 That's brilliantly done by Pemba.
04:25 He's made up for the early era.
04:27 He did made up.
04:29 Waterman, he does a strike up from his head.

04:38 restored parity here at Abidjan.
04:42 Superb finish at the back post.
04:45 Bissa to take it.
04:48 Bissa, steadies himself, scores!
04:56 Congo are ahead.
04:59 They're thrilled and they fought back.
05:03 You can see why I love African football.
05:05 It's almost colourful.
05:08 It's quite a goal for a country.
05:11 I'm sure nobody gave them that opportunity.
05:14 The Cookies never gave them any opportunity
05:17 of making the round of 16
05:19 or even making the quarterfinals.
05:21 And now they are the bench,
05:23 making the semifinal history in the making.
05:26 Oh, they were down.
05:28 The Warriors have won this competition twice.
05:31 '92 and '25, and suddenly they win this evening.
05:35 It's a goal!
05:38 Superbly done.
05:40 Directly taken from the free kick.
05:43 And surely it's all over now.
05:45 It wasn't a fluke.
05:47 He knew what he was doing.
05:49 He saw the goalkeeper left the line,
05:51 he left that space for him,
05:53 and then the Warriors swing.
05:55 It's a beautiful goal.
05:57 He put his country in a very comfortable situation right now.
06:00 The way they're playing, the way they're keeping position,
06:03 they're keeping the Indians out,
06:05 and they can still go for more goals.
06:07 What a game for Bemba.
06:10 And what a superb free kick from Masuaku.
