00:00and the referee blows a whistle and it's kicked off here in Francistown 90

00:06minutes of football in group C match day 5 of the Confederations Cup we have a

00:13Rapa attacking from right to left and Risa Maggi going from left to right the

00:20away side and that's the first foul of the match blown by referee Joseph

00:24Odai-Ogabor from Nigeria Sadie Raduani had such a an impressive match in their

00:32first time this first encounter between the two sides would even get on the

00:36goal-scoring sheet but provided so much offense in the way he positioned

00:40himself high up on the pitch creating a lot of issues for Rapa United here's

00:47Gloria de Conza the DRC international started his pro career TP Mazembe

00:56you'll see him wearing number 11 in the midfield he'll definitely be involved

01:00and a lot of the ball when he's in space it's the first opportunity this time

01:05who's Sekou Gassama wins the ball back plays it back Risa Maggi trying to

01:12create something here from inside the box that's the first signs of pressure

01:20already in the second minute we may be seeing more of the same the last time

01:25these two teams played each other the first goal came in the fourth minute

01:34goalkeeper for Rapa United was hit off his line could have resulted in a known

01:41goal

01:56scuffed effort from Wale Musalli

02:01and USMLG now fortunate to have their own little spell of possession difficult

02:09they're unable to keep it seems like they're a little bit nervous the Algerian

02:16side uncharacteristic given how much experience they have on the pitch

02:20players like Sadio Adani and Jolody de Conza would be able to bring their

02:30experience to calm all that traveling seems to be in their favor but here's

02:36Gatcha getting onto his right foot cut onto it but unable to find the target or

02:43even for it to get there it was deflected earlier here he's on the cross

02:46Gassama and he finds the back of the net Sekou Gassama wonderful cross from Gatcha

02:51and now he breaks the deadlock USMLG to the applause of the bench and perhaps a

03:00couple of supporters that came to support USMLG away and look what it

03:04means to the side the whole bench coming to celebrate with Sekou Gassama the

03:10Senegalese forward jumped into the air and guided his header perfectly into the

03:16opposite corner nothing Malapelle could do and USMLG delivers another

03:25fine assist for Senegalese forward the trajectory of the ball was perfect on

03:35that's cheaply given away Moussa Ali in front of the goalkeeper and that's a

03:38wonderful save from the Senegal Malapelle on Moussa Ali

03:46unbelievable effort by Malapelle stretched himself like a cat and with

03:53the palm of his hands got it blocked a shot from close range from Moussa Ali

03:58the winger was disappointing to see such an experienced center back get a yellow

04:04card for something very avoidable but nonetheless play plays on play goes on

04:12Sadie Raduani very complicated to break down a team by going through straight

04:21through the middle but USMLG attempting different ways of breaking down a

04:27defense they achieve success through through a header not getting as many

04:35corners as they did in the first match these times met and that's halftime

04:39blown by referee Joseph Ogbor it's 1-1 here in Francistown between the

04:44ostriches of Orapa United and visitors USMLG they open the scoring through a

04:49header by Sekou Gassama could have doubled it if Wale Moussa Ali had been a

04:55little bit more clinical from inside the box earlier on in the half but

04:58Lesenia Malapelle much credit to him came back and denied him excellently and

05:03then Orapa United as well they had their chance to equalize with that header

05:101 meter 89 towered above the defenders and here they go wasting no time

05:18the whistle of the second half here's Benzaza a bit too discreet and perhaps

05:27the instructions for Kamel Soufi picking up the ball not under any pressure

05:41under through Wale Moussa Ali cuts it to Gacha and he gets a second goal of the

05:46match Ousem Gacha wonderful speed from the tiny and mighty winger Wale Moussa Ali

05:53undid the defense of the ostriches of Orapa United and then serves it on a

05:59silver platter for Ousem Gacha and all he had to do was tap the ball into an

06:05empty net great chemistry between these two wingers have been so good all

06:11afternoon switching between left and right

06:17Wale Moussa Ali

06:24wonderful team play between UNSM LG and that's the second goal of the match to

06:31put them up 2-0 away from home

06:35they broke down the defense with the speed of Wale Moussa Ali

06:57yeah and that's just that I mentioned earlier Wale Moussa Ali so good when the

07:02ball is at his feet probably a little bit more comfortable in those situations

07:08he calms up winning it back for his side can they create one more opportunity it

07:14does seem like USM LG would be happy to get a third goal but with that

07:20whistle being blown for a foul seems unlikely now as the seconds tick we have

07:28now reached the fourth minute of added time but there was an injury to Nemani

07:34the player on the ball here Terazas with the one touch plays it forward

07:39is that Raduani the right back does he have support it's an interesting ball

07:45to Marouz but Malapela did not struggle to carry that one up and Cavaljello

07:52Maloy on a 2v2 situation he has support from his teammates it's played back

07:58Raduani or Rapa United are in the box here Maloy alone in the box and that's a goal to bring it back to 2-1

08:06Cavaljello Maloy the 18 year old introduced onto this match at the 91st

08:12minute makes almost an instant impact and exposes a gap in the defense of USM LG

08:21it's 2-1 and the first ever goal for Rapa United in Confederations Cup group

08:27stages comes from the foot of Cavaljello Maloy stroke of brilliance from Dimitar

08:33Pondev's coaching staff and it begs you the question to be asked had he

08:38been introduced earlier on in this match would he been able to make more of an

08:43impact Cavaljello Maloy connecting perfectly from inside of the box and he

08:53beats Kamel Soufi and that's the 90th minute blown full-time is blown by the

08:58referee Ogabor the match ends 2-1 in favor of USM LG who secure their first

09:05place in this group C of the Confederations Cup or Rapa United are

09:10officially eliminated but nonetheless get their first goal in Confederations

09:14Cup football this season and in all time through the foot of Cavaljello Maloy

09:24what a moment for the 18 year old who started against USM LG on match day

09:32one struggled to control even one ball but coming on late in the game to score

09:41and that'll leave a sour taste in the mouths of the USM LG side they do

09:48escape with the three points but they won't be happy to be the team known as

09:54the first to allow for Rapa United to score but it was a difficult match Rapa

10:00United at home did cause problems they lacked a little bit of precision in the

10:07final third well a lot of precision in the final third which would have allowed

10:11them to get closer in this match earlier on but there is a sense of joy that they

10:17scored

10:20and good sign signs of sportsmanship between both sides
