00:00We are underway on match day four of the Total Energies Confederation of African Football

00:25Champions League.

00:28We are beginning to get to the business end of the tournament and it is time to deliver.

00:40What are we going to see this afternoon as Mohamed Yamba gets on the ball nice and early

00:46in the midfield for the visitors.

00:53And here is Ake Esis.

01:00And then holding Pirates last time around as Corey goes charging down the left-hand

01:09side.

01:10A man in the middle if he can find it in.

01:11It comes to Kone.

01:12Kone goes down.

01:14Stade D'Abidjan level against Pirates on match day three.

01:24Swung in.

01:25Clear header in the middle.

01:26He scored a wonderful winner at the weekend against Magessi.

01:34That was last Sunday.

01:36At the heart of it.

01:38Distance for Stade D'Abidjan from Asale.

01:41You can hear the crowd getting excited each time it comes down this left-hand side.

01:50Now it's through and in the middle.

01:53Chance here for Pirates if they can take it but they can't.

01:56Just couldn't keep it on target.

01:59Van Buren.

02:03Maswangani looking in for Mo Fokeng.

02:08Mo Fokeng still has it.

02:11A little shot at goal as well.

02:15Just wide of the target.

02:18These two combine again.

02:19Maswangani lovely little back flick.

02:20Well they played it.

02:21And the chance here.

02:22And Pirates open the scoring.

02:23We criticise many teams for almost walking the ball into the back of the net but that

02:31is exactly what Pirates have done on this occasion.

02:35And Rene Bohiel, Mo Fokeng has got his first goal in the group stage.

02:42He hasn't scored since the early rounds of the competition, the preliminary phase.

02:47And he took advantage of a move that sums up the way that Pirates have started this

02:54game.

02:55Quick passing for their opponents.

02:59Look at that lovely little back flick from Maswangani.

03:02Could have had a shot.

03:03Didn't instead.

03:04To one winger.

03:05And then to the other.

03:06And Kota, age 20, setting up Mo Fokeng.

03:10He's a fellow 20-year-old and he won't surely score a simpler goal all season.

03:17And that is just the start that Pirates were after.

03:24Kone muscled off it.

03:26Impressively so by Sassane, the centre-back.

03:28Glamini.

03:29They just find these pockets, Pirates.

03:32And that's a lovely ball as well.

03:36Chance for Mbassa.

03:37Oh, he couldn't hit it.

03:39Expertly fouled by Mo Fokeng.

03:42Still they come forward.

03:43Another strike.

03:44This time, fairly routine save for Bamba.

03:49And Mourinho forward, Maswangani.

03:55That's really nice from him.

03:56He's done really well to pick out Unkota.

03:58And Meitei has done equally well to deny Unkota.

04:04Quick to break, Pirates.

04:05And so quick to get men forward as well.

04:06Look at them charging.

04:07Upfield.

04:08Hotto.

04:09The ball wasn't good enough.

04:10There's a slip at the back that could prove costly.

04:14Still they haven't cleared it.

04:16Mo Fokeng trying to get forward.

04:18But time has run out.

04:22What has been a high-octane opening half.

04:25And in this African Champions League encounter,

04:28chances are plenty for Pirates.

04:32But it's just the one goal.

04:34Rele Bohele, Mo Fokeng, midway through the half,

04:38separating it.

04:39He was teed up by Mohau Unkota.

04:42And he had the simplest of opportunities

04:45when tapping the ball into an empty net.

04:49Black.

04:51And just kicked off the second half of playing Pirates, of course.

04:54And one wonders if Pirates can stretch away

05:05and make their pressure and their superiority count.

05:19They arguably deserve to be certainly one more

05:23than a goal clear.

05:24Hotto.

05:25Missed a chance in that first half.

05:28Matsuangani.

05:29And the flag's up.

05:33Mbappé.

05:34He's got his arms up in the air.

05:36Mbappé.

05:39He manages to ride the challenges and stay in possession.

05:42Glamini.

05:48Unkota.

05:49Matsuangani.

05:50That's a lovely turn from Matsuangani.

05:52And that's a lovely finish as well.

05:54Oh, what football this is for Pirates.

05:57They are loving this.

05:58They are hugely enjoying themselves.

06:01And Patrick Matsuangani has his second goal

06:05of this Champions League campaign.

06:08And what a turn.

06:10He left his opponent looking as if he was heading

06:14in completely the wrong direction.

06:17With a simple drag of the foot.

06:20And then a very, very composed finish as well.

06:23Well, he deserves his goal.

06:25Because he's been terrific, the 26-year-old.

06:28A lovely touch at times.

06:30And this sure-footedness we're about to see here

06:33summing up his game.

06:34Look at that.

06:35Centrale absolutely the wrong way.

06:41And then slipped it past Bamba

06:43to make it 2-0 and put a far, far more realistic...

06:50scoreline to this game.

06:53...position this century.

06:57As they try a free-kick routine.

06:59Strike from distance.

07:00And strike that just flies over.

07:04Chieno's goal.

07:10Mofuke, he's got men on the edge of the box

07:12if he can find them.

07:13He has managed to do so.

07:15And it's Glamini with the strike.

07:18And Bamba with the save.

07:22And now Hotto.

07:23Charging forward, looking for a third.

07:25The South Africans, that's a lovely cut back.

07:27And Matsuanganyi cannot double his goal tally on the day.

07:38Swung in.

07:39Better ball in as well.

07:40Oh, that was the chance for Stade Dabijot.

07:44And that was the moment.

07:47Charging forward again here.

07:49Mofuke round the corner to Van Ruyen.

07:51He'll get it back, Mofuke.

07:52And into the box he goes.

07:54Puts it on the plate to Matsuanganyi.

07:56And he can't make it 3-0.

07:59The 28-year-old striker.

08:01No wonder he's smiling.

08:03And there's a chance here now for Paris to make it 3-0.

08:06Across the face of goal.

08:08Mofuke couldn't get on the end of it.

08:11Broken up nicely and Paris charging forward again.

08:14Now can he hold on to this? He can.

08:15It's Hotto through the middle.

08:16For Paris.

08:17Oh, wonderful moment for Dion Hotto.

08:21To fully secure the win.

08:24Show pace and perseverance.

08:26And in the end, precision too.

08:29To make it Pirates 3-0 Stade Dabijot.

08:35And I was saying they hadn't scored enough goals.

08:37Well, that's a much better gloss on the scoreline.

08:40And the team going top of Group C.

08:43Doing so in style.

08:44And look at the smile.

08:47On the face of Dion Hotto.

08:50To get the right touches.

08:51To put the ball in the right place.

08:53That was the crucial touch.

08:54That second one.

08:55Set him up for the third.

08:57Really, really good finish as well from Dion Hotto.

09:03His first in the Champions League this season.

09:09Bambam, little chance.

09:10Bambam, little chance in these final few minutes.

09:16Well, the final whistle blows.

09:18And Orlando Pirates of South Africa have gone top of Group C.

09:25In the CAF Champions League.

09:27Above Al Ahly.

09:29The defending champions.

09:31Who are knocked down into second place.

09:35While their conquerors on Friday night.

09:39Algeria's CRB.

09:41Luis Ded.

09:43Now, moved down to third.

09:45But that was comprehensive.
