00:00so underway then here in Cairo pyramids our hosts in the blue shirts kicking from right to left in
00:09the first half esperance yeah the cash cap and their usual red and yellow red and gold really
00:20kicking or attacking the goal on our right and that's ahmed torfik they're just being a courthouse
00:30so the weather forecast was certainly not for this sort of wind and this is it's a real
00:43game-changing wind that ball over the top is going to hold up in that wind
00:48now making it very difficult to defend eventually it's put out for
00:51on the ball cleared along and that's the final action from the first half here at the
01:0630th of june stadium here in cairo it's a pyramids nil
01:12aspirin sportivity this nil at half time aspirin arguably with the better of the game so far
01:21but it's uh honestly there's not been a lot of action in either box to be perfectly honest
01:28four shots in total only one of those on target that's between both teams together by the way
01:34a collective xg of uh under 0.5 yes a game of a few chances just that one good chance
01:44really well saved by armand elsh and are we only somewhat spoiled by the referee not spotting the
01:48save aspirin still
01:55trying to show off their wounds from the first half being rightly ignored by the officials
02:06cigarata one goal to the good that puts them up on five points level with pyramids as things stand
02:11with a nil nil draw here
02:14now then how will the players adjust to the wind in the second half
02:19pyramids now with the wind at their backs sadiq gets the ball turns on halfway lays the ball off
02:27if you are metorphic the makeshift right back went off engine in the first half after a
02:32bash on his already damaged nose
02:34so now osama galal the number six filling in at right back a career center back
02:44use the body there by hulu and now that space over on that right hand side
02:48hand he has to go out and meet the player and there's the opener
02:52meet the player and there's the opener
02:5856 minutes in and we have our opening goal at last and it's esperance
03:05who could well be away and clear at the top of the group by the end of the day
03:10depending on how things go in the other game
03:12and it all opened up on the right hand sticked in too narrow no offside ball comes in
03:22and just a nice little touch yousef belaili who else with his seventh goal in the competition
03:27already this season with tony and your match day for the group phase
03:31did well just to use his body to get across the front of the player ben ali with that precision
03:44cross and the keeper beating at his near post as well el shinawi just couldn't react in time
03:53nelly to get hold of that
04:01nice ball in towards the run of kanata
04:05gabber midfield by kanata
04:14again good play from belaili but then the ball now has gone the other way and pyramids now on
04:20the counter attack trying to go through well pulled back on the edge of the area surely
04:27well that looks suspiciously like a tug
04:30paul might have been slightly out of his sphere of influence by the time that tug came in but still
04:37i can hopefully get a chance to look at that on the replay
04:46there's four consecutive clean sheets now for esperance in the competition a moment cruising
04:52towards a fifth this is opening up nicely for pyramids and then the shot flies miles over
05:02build up from pyramids but then torre running into wakaldi
05:07sound
05:16finding himself dispossessed on halfway line
05:20that's he
05:23again there's too much on that raid of vishneva and anusha belu
05:28prepare to come on for the visitors attempt to clear and slice straight up in the air
05:34headed back over and the key wouldn't seem to quite know what he wanted to do that
05:40and we have an esperance ball one height the pitch this time by pyramids but then given away again
05:47they just haven't had their passing together today pyramids at all they have not looked like the
05:52second best team in egypt that's for certain yes they're against the tunisian champions
05:58and the finalists from last year's champions league but they've got to produce more than this
06:05they think they're going to go anywhere in the competition as a whole
06:08oh the ball giving away on the edge of the area and mimi scrambles that one white a bit of luck there
06:22fatty unable to really take the ball with him eventually whips one in and there's the equalizer
06:27straight in from fatty wide out on the right whip the ball in it avoided everyone it was in that
06:35horrible little
06:38well corridor of uncertainty between the keeper and the defenders and everyone left it then fatty
06:45has bagged the equalizer here a huge goal for pyramids do they deserve it well maybe not
06:52and he just made a bit of space everyone missed it he's gone straight in
07:05oh there's a point that puts pyramids back in it means that esperance will no longer
07:13be qualifying at the end of this game they'll have to do it the hard way well they will have a
07:20three-point lead at the top of the table oh and there's a winner my word what a strike that is
07:26deep into second half stoppage time and pyramids gone from zero to hero here
07:35what a strike
07:42and all of a sudden it's esperance on the back foot the uh
07:50so hand side puts the ball in that bicycle kick bottom corner no chance goalkeeper
07:55fantastic technique there from ibrahim adil
08:04his fourth goal of the competition that mustafa fatty has come off the bench he scored the
08:11equalizer and assisted the winner as well well what we assume is going to be the winner
08:18still time for more you know
08:22to the six for the goal celebrations in which there was what 30 60 seconds
08:31there are rules and regulations for these sort of things you know
08:35and the referee has indeed blown the final whistle
08:43well what a turnaround that was for pyramids
08:47second best for most of the match but esperance really
08:50no ambition at all in the second half and eventually that came back to bite them in the bum
08:55use of balili with his seventh goal of the campaign in the 56th minute to give
09:05esperance the lead but after that they were just happy to sit back against a team not doing much
09:11the substitutes came on and it was one of those substitutes mustafa fatty who was
09:25you
