00:00We just wait for the confirmation from Referee Iretunga to get Group B underway between
00:08Mamalodi Sundowns and FC Massa.
00:12Down to the left wing and a chance to deliver something across.
00:14That came right back off the frame with a goal.
00:17Incredible stuffing really.
00:18The chance opened up, I'm sure it was across initially, but it just drifted and spun onto
00:23the back post.
00:24An extraordinary start.
00:27Mahiga Ali with the shot, right from the beginning of the game.
00:41Again right on the centre spot, this time Mamalodi Sundowns can look down the right
00:47hand side.
00:48It's a clever switch back pass.
00:49Corners, Tatulets also looks to take the throwing quickly.
00:55It's given away on the edge of the area.
00:57Maybe a chance for something to open up.
01:00Farah El Mahdi chasing it down.
01:03Speed in play, Massa wanted the throw in, instead Mamalodi Sundowns, the ball's lifted
01:16into the middle, controlled in the box.
01:19Chance maybe for the shot from the edge of the area, they opt for the pass instead.
01:22Massa struggling to get it away.
01:24Too many bodies around the ball there.
01:27Eventually they get it out of the box, it'll come straight back in, but the offside flag
01:31is surely up.
01:34Massa again trying it with Farah El Mahdi on the right hand side.
01:39Again they've picked up the ball in a good position here, just when the chance looked
01:42to be dead.
01:43Maybe a shooting chance from the edge of the area.
01:46Really good effort towards the near post.
01:50Mahiga Ali who hit the post in the first 30 seconds.
01:54Now she's sent one just over the top, Claudette Simassar, she took advantage of the loose
02:01ball, cut inside onto her left foot, and that was a really decent effort.
02:05Just off target, and not far over the top, Mahiga Ali, the ball into the box, there's
02:19a player across in the middle, if they can find her, that was a chance again, it's Mahiga
02:23Ali, who's been involved in so much at the heart of the FC Massa attack, that time, she
02:30was a willing recipient in the box, but it didn't get over to her, it will get back to
02:36Mahiga Ali eventually.
02:37Mustafa working really well on the left flank, she's kept that in, and she's still going.
02:44It just didn't quite work out.
02:48Simassar looking for the throw-in, it's not going to go out of play, now it will be spread
02:53to the left side, Ramini has done really well with the delivery across, stretching for the
03:03header in the middle, but there's no way to get a 24, Women's Champions League, goalless
03:11at Stadler-Bizouli in Casablanca for now, both teams have had half chances, Simassar
03:17maybe more, and this might be the best chance of the lot of them, heavy touch in the middle
03:21at a crucial moment from Hasnaf Ubaimba, off-way line it goes, they've been the battle for
03:27it in the middle, no they can't, referee says no foul, Amolodi Sundance can play on here,
03:32good pass out to the right-hand side, Ramalepe with a chance to deliver, crosses blocked,
03:37but she'll come back into the box again, Ramalepe, great step over, opens up the space, and she
03:42hits it over the top, it took a touch on the way through, referee Suave Silatunga pointed
03:49to the corner, that drop of the shoulder was quite something, did it touch the fingertips
03:54of goalkeeper Sabri, or did it hit the crossbar, it was the fingertips of Sabri, the referee got
03:59that call spot on, get it back here, I think there might be an offside call there,
04:07it looked like Mahira Ali had just spread forward, but a will clear to the middle,
04:13good shooting chance, might not have counted anyway, but none of them yet, can be forgiven
04:19of course, they were FC Tut or FC Tutankhamun in recent years in Egyptian football, the team
04:25based in Cairo, have undergone a rebrand recently, having won their first Egyptian Women's Premier
04:32League title, what nicely defending to do, goalkeeper comes out, clears out her own defender,
04:37got good, back to FC Mazar,
04:43launch it forward, then the pass stops well, was there a push in the box,
04:47the referee thinks about it, and points to the spot, Suave Silatunga saw the foul on
04:55Sabri Niyonkuru, and just as I said it would be a blow to FC Mazar if they were to concede in
05:01stoppage time, now they'll have the chance to score, it was a brilliant ball in behind,
05:10over the top of the defence, spinning back, Matisetsu Makubela, the number two,
05:18got the heart of the centre of the Mamelodi Sundown's defence,
05:24she just pushed a little bit too hard against Sandrine the number nine,
05:31Sandrine Niyonkuru for FC Mazar, she scores from the spot, sends the keeper the wrong way,
05:40procedure beaten, and FC Mazar lead against Mamelodi Sundowns on match day one,
05:47what a moment for FC Mazar, the Egyptian champions score in the Women's Champions League,
06:03it had to be Sandrine Niyonkuru didn't it, she's hardly had anything to do in this first half,
06:10Mamelodi Sundowns had kept her out of the game,
06:13but the one dangerous ball over the top led to the penalty, it was Niyonkuru who used her body well
06:19to get the foul against Makubela, and from the spot she was never going to miss,
06:25sent the keeper the other way, struck the ball calmly into the corner,
06:29Mamelodi Sundowns nil, FC Mazar one, and we might play just about 30 more seconds at the end of the
06:35first half, or indeed referee Etunga will decide that the teams are heading into the changing rooms
06:45and indeed they are, from the player who's gone off, Farah El Mahdi,
06:53substitution down the right hand side, player number 12, really worked out for her,
06:58is replaced by player number 20, Shah Mahmood, as well as Ahmed Rampadan, decided to make the change,
07:09chance to burst into the box from the left hand side, and they still go all the way across here,
07:13that had to be cut out on the edge of the six yard box, and it was again the offside flag,
07:22Mamelodi Sundowns now starting to make FC Mazar work really hard to hold on to this lead,
07:28that again, it's bounced back towards the box, a little bit of scrappy play at the moment, but
07:33Sundowns have it back in a good position, pressure beginning to build as they camp on the edge
07:38of the FC Mazar penalty area, now another chance to send something into the danger zone, it's headed
07:51away well, second ball comes back out for Mamelodi Sundowns again, good positioning to get this into
07:59the area, another big shooting chance, and another one that ends up over the, Antongo played it away
08:04and it might stay in play, and it does, chance now to get something into the box, Agamalepe,
08:13loose ball outside the deep, it's going to be fired back in from outside the box,
08:16being marshalled back out,
08:22good ball into the middle, it's lifted up and over the keeper, but onto the roof of the net only,
08:30it's going to be sent in from the right, lofted into the middle,
08:33it's headed down but wide of the target, defender took the last touch, Matandi goes over to take
08:40the corner, but that's the full-time whistle from referee Iretunga, Mazar make history
08:48in the CAF Women's Champions League.
08:52Defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns have been beaten on match day one in Group B,
08:57and look at what it means to FC Mazar.
