00:00And now we see the players coming out to the tune of the CAF anthem at the Estadio Onze
00:15Novembro on a beautiful sunny day and the referee blows a whistle for the match to get
00:24started. Sagrada Esperanza wearing their green kits attacking from right to left. Pyramids
00:32FC going from left to right and it's already recovered by the Pyramids going forward quite
00:40quickly actually trying to unsettle Sagrada Esperanza. Their supporters maybe not the most
00:46numerous but they are being well heard. Great to see a pitch in such good condition as well
00:54ideal for Sagrada Esperanza. Winning the ball back high up in the pitch. Can they move the
01:01ball forward? It's a first attempt doesn't find the target but Sadat Diallo with his
01:07left foot attempted the spectacular from far. Unfortunately he wasn't able to really get
01:12his foot under it. Here Pyramids FC again. They have three players on the offensive front
01:18against five. Can they take advantage of this situation here? Ibrahim Touré finds
01:26Fison Mayele but instead of going forward plays it back towards his right back. Who
01:32finds Moussa Fafati that's well played in. And Moussa Fafati confirming that he is here
01:39to make a statement on the right wing. So far at least from a defensive point of view
01:49and that's a that's well that's lost by Victorino Polanco Bueno. His touch is a little heavy.
01:56Here's Ahmed Atef. He's in the box. Gets the first shot but there's a call for a handball.
02:00Seems a bit obvious actually but Ahmed Atef again stirring problems. And that is very
02:08telling. You do notice it watching this match as well. And how long will Sagrada Esperanza
02:14hold on and that's a finally they make a break. Pyramids FC it's cut back. Here's Atef. It's
02:20in the air. There's a duel and the referee blows the whistle against Pyramids FC for
02:25an Egyptian international who played in Europe. Turkey Racing Club de Lens in France on wonderful
02:34pass. He has space. It's a shot by Ahmed Atef and again with the way that he changes his
02:42positioning on the field and that's causing that's perhaps the main cause of concern for
02:46Sagrada Esperanza. Going too far before it was cut out. Emad Meshour. Abu Ali would have
02:53been a couple of kilometres offside had that gone through to him. Gueye. This is better
02:59from Stade David-Jean. Corey in behind. Little slip. Is it costly? Oh yes it is because St-Jean
03:05Corey has called home an absolute beauty to give Stade David-Jean the lead in a game they have to
03:12win against the African champions Al Ahly. A little stumble and how the 26-year-old profited
03:20from that. Only one thought in his mind. He got his body shape all right.
03:29And Moussa Fafati finally finds Fison Mayele. Can he play a good ball into back to Fati who spreads it wide to Adele. Gets a shot but
03:37just seemed a little bit slow from Fison Mayele. Was a little bit too patient before he distributed
03:42the ball to Moussa Fafati who then injected pace with a one-touch ball with his
03:47right foot to Ibrahim Adele. He's been charging forward at the ball and also playing great passes
03:53and Al-Hajji Mahmat will blow the whistle for halftime. It hasn't been the most
04:00eventful 45 minutes of football
04:05but interesting defensive scheme from Sagrada Esperanza containing
04:12the forward Pyramids FC who have had almost 75 percent have had over 75 percent of possession
04:20but aren't able to convert that ball monopoly into meaningful opportunities on goal.
04:29And we're back off underway here
04:38at the Estadio 11 de Novembre
04:42in Talatona, Angola
04:46Pyramids FC and their white kids attacking from right to left. Sagrada Esperanza in their green
04:55from left to right
04:59and we'll have to be careful for the remaining 35 minutes of this second half. Another booking
05:09would put his side down to 10 men and there's a free kick here. Ibrahim Adele
05:14swings it in with his right foot. It's won by Ali Gaber
05:19and Aguadose the midfielder for Sagrada would be a positive result for both of these sides but
05:30a win would be the sweetest. Here's Touré looking to play it forward. He lofts it
05:36in the air. It's poorly cleared by Tati and Ntisan has work to do here. It's a mess
05:43and Fison Mayele who eventually got a volley onto the ball didn't find the target but
05:48the referee blows his whistle to signal perhaps a foul or or an offside but who is interesting
05:54in his movement more so in the first half but his influence waned as the minutes went on
05:59in this second and now there's an interesting free kick from the left-hand side. Will it be
06:05in swinging if it's Ibrahim Adele who takes it with his right foot or Karim Hafez with his left?
06:13There is suspense. A little bit of trickery there. It's going to be Hafez with his left
06:19searches for Ramadan Sobhi plays it back to Hafez. Sobhi again it's a one it's a give and go
06:26Ibrahim Adele in space but he's closed down quickly by Claudio Barbosa the substitute
06:32making a good impact in the few minutes that he's been on the pitch
06:38to have the setup to threaten but here's Aguadose oh that's excellent individually
06:45it's a cross in and they're in space Sagrada Esperanza is number 11 almost
06:50put the ball into the back of the net it's such a shame Benny Pepe
06:55that would have been such a night. Last week Sadiq where he completed a hundred percent of his long
07:02balls and dribbles here's Karim Hafez another cross it's getting into the path of was that Ali
07:09Gaber no it was not it was Ibrahim Adele to find goal scoring form in this competition this season
07:18that's well done from Polanco Polanco
07:24just winning some time here here's Tati
07:29Benny Pepe it's much better here from Sagrada Esperanza again but lacking a bit of precision
07:37and the ball went out Hamid the substitute making his sixth appearance in champions league this
07:43season can he be decisive off the bench and save his side just like they did last week
07:48late in the game Ramadan Sobhi gets his header he directed it towards a goal but
07:52not on target on he was all alone in space inside the box a rare opportunity this match a rare
07:59event three or four seconds and now it's still two whites against three or four green players but he
08:03gets away from it Sadiq plays it back to Hamdi it's deflected into the goal Marwan Hamdi with
08:09another late winner with 20 seconds left on the clock what a goal and what a moment for
08:15Marwan Hamdi coming off the bench getting the win away from home and that's so sad for the
08:22greens of Sagrada Esperanza so unfortunate they defended with numbers and in the end it was the
08:28numbers that penalized them Marwan Hamdi his effort may not have been goal bound but with
08:33the deflection put it beyond the reach of Nensi San you are not dreaming this is a 1-0 victory
08:44for Pyramids FC in two weeks consecutive did just enough to get it to deflect it into the goal
08:53Marwan Hamdi he does not and that's the final whistle Alhaji Mahamat signals the end of the
08:59match and Pyramids FC with these three points secure their qualification to the quarterfinals
09:07while Sagrada Esperanza after defending for almost perfectly for almost 90 minutes
09:15are punished with a late late goal
09:22you
