00:00waiting for referee to get the to blow his whistle for the match to start and here we are

00:08wearing their iconic orange kit attacking from right to left

00:15in their white attacking from left to right initial long ball played in strong determination

00:25from the number eight getting his first start of the tournament

00:30perhaps showed a little bit too much excitement but perhaps a bit nervous

00:36getting his first start maybe good luck for the side and starting off the tournament with

00:43a 6-1 victory perhaps was it an indicator of such Alinuaidara went on one of the keeper and he beats

00:49him gets his fifth goal of the tournament Alinuaidara magnificent timing of course

00:57he's not offside the pass was perfect and he found himself in so much space and time to make

01:02his decision and beat the nervy Yanis Sakho punishing Les Aiglons and in their sixth

01:10participation if they hold this result the first position of the group

01:18yeah it was a wonderful bit of play

01:19from the number 18

01:28finding a oh no excuse me we found Alinuaidara completely alone and

01:34knowing that he's in red hot form can't let a player who's with that much confidence

01:40alone inside the box and you'd expected him to score the whole time and it's 1-0

01:49making the net shiver Yannis Sakho does well there and he serves Bomba with a second

01:55time effort took one touch to get away from the defenders but perhaps they didn't push it far

02:00enough but it's well recovered from Les Aiglons who are continuing to apply pressure Bomba in front

02:04of the goal trying to go for the generous play several chances already created will Yannis Sakho

02:11the goalkeeper of Les Aiglons be called upon seemed like that was a play worked from the training

02:16ground doesn't go exactly to plan but is it a photo hold on to possession driving forward into

02:21the box and will that be a penalty call not too long of a hesitation from the referee

02:29but he gives it and it was excellent work from Vavwe Dumbia the ASEC Mimosa player

02:37he recovered the ball he got his body in front of defender Soumeil Lafanné who's not a defender

02:45by choice more of a left winger you just had a feeling that the referee was going to be forced

02:52to blow his whistle and point to the penalty spot the contact looks so faint on the replay but

02:59with the speed that he had picked up Dumbia

03:03here he comes and it's 2-0 for Les Elefantos Alinho Aidara gets his sixth of the tournament

03:15and it's what a it's a bit of a surprise to see Les Elefantos go up 2-0 against

03:22perhaps one of the favorites to win the tournament Les Aiglons du Mali

03:32calming his players down don't want them to get carried away either that was a simple penalty

03:36the inside of his right foot slotting it to the left of Yannis Sakho maybe not even the

03:42best penalty that he's ever taken in his short young career Aidara but it's enough

03:47to put his side up by two

03:56here comes the in swinging cross seems high it's almost on target goes over

04:04with Sindhu Dembélé attempting to score and catch Yannick Kwesi the goalkeeper off guard

04:10and it hasn't worked out for him and Les Aiglons are on the counter-attack Alinho Aidara is alone

04:15instead of opting for the simple pass Taptouali tried to get the third all on his own and he

04:22misses the target can he get the best using his pace he's provoking on the left wing deep cross

04:31he does find a teammate and the deflection takes it over the goalkeeper and it's 3-0

04:36for Les Elefantos what are we seeing today

04:41Magnifique from Alinho Aidara what a first half two goals one assist and fortune favors the brave

04:51as the deflection takes the ball above Yannis Sakho unable to get a palm to the ball that

04:57bounced over him looped by a deflection and it's so unfortunate for Les Aiglons du Mali

05:04who have been pushing pushing pushing but just unable to unlock the defensive

05:10Côte d'Ivoire with one long ball found Alinho Aidara found the forgotten Taptouali

05:19no excuse me it was Diasouba Diasouba completely forgotten and it's a deflection by Lamine

05:28Keita

05:30and it really is a perfect deflection Yannis Sakho unable to reposition himself

05:37it looped high there was curl and it's 3-0 for Les Elefantos

05:46and if there's one side that needs a halftime break it's Madi oh but they've given it away

05:50poorly and carelessly Alinho Aidara he lets it go through for Bamba he's going to eliminate

05:54two players can't get the shot on target

05:59Les Aiglons du Mali desperately need the halftime

06:08oh but Madi perhaps can claw one back surprising then they do there we go the quality of

06:15Seydou Dembélé put on display just as I had mentioned he was one of the players that's capable of

06:20helping Les Aiglons du Mali come back

06:25oh no excuse me it was Soumey Lafanné Soumey Lafanné finding himself this time on the

06:32left while he was moved on to the right replay again yeah look at the pressing from Seydou

06:39Dembélé all the energy all the determination look to his right to perhaps even play the ball

06:44faked out everyone oh excellent from Seydou Dembélé and he's been asking this time gets the

06:52answer and it's three to one for Les Aiglons du Mali against Les Aiglons du Mali here in Bereshid

06:57Morocco for this closing match of group D of the Total Energy's U17 Africa Cup of Nations

07:04Seydou Dembélé brought it back but it was the Aiglons du Mali who were the ones on the front foot

07:10for 45 minutes or so they let their concentration down and were punished severely with a goal

07:17and that goal perhaps has significant implications for the second half because Les Aiglons du Mali

07:22are a dangerous side they were the favorites going into this tournament to perhaps even win it all

07:33and it's kicked off the Elefanto attacking now from left to right

07:38Les Aiglons du Mali from right to left

07:40who was a bit of a super sub on match day one and scored from a set piece

07:55he'll look to have an impact as a super sub yet again

08:10he tries to get it back can he send a ball back in he does it's Bomba

08:25this is much better from Les Aiglons du Mali

08:30much much better in how they're producing and creating

08:33decision day in the group phase at this year's U17 Africa Cup of Nations Angola

08:44kicking off against the Central African Republic still in with a chance

08:48of reaching the quarterfinals if they get a victory here and Cote d'Ivoire lose at the

08:54same time and there is a sufficient swing in terms of goal difference but can they cut the lead down

09:00to one perhaps it will be through this free kick but there's going to be a video assistant

09:06refereeing incident Tianwan Kukua is going to have a look was there a penalty

09:18she has the images let's see was Njikwa Bomba impeded when he was turning around to shoot

09:26it really depends was his left foot attempting to protect the ball it did seem like there was contact

09:37he's with his left foot if he was trying to protect

09:41and after reviewing the images there will be a penalty for Les Aiglons

09:46an opportunity to come back and cut the lead back down to one

09:49back down to one wonder talent can he get his second of the match

09:57against Christiane Kwasi second penalty of the match here comes the run-up

10:06he fails to score but it's going to be converted by Njikwa Bomba who believed all the way

10:13and they are furious Cote d'Ivoire the reaction of Christiane Kwasi

10:19played by Christiane Kwasi he won his duel but then Njikwa Bomba was coming in with so

10:25much pace on the follow-up and just rockets the ball home from very close distance

10:34and that's disappointing for the goalkeeper yeah it seems like that none of the

10:39followed up maybe they didn't believe that their goalkeeper was going to stop it

10:44what a huge defensive mistake from the teammates of Christiane Kwasi

10:51will be even surprise all of us and he lofted it's driven and there were two to three

10:58Eddie Fanto who are charging in to just make any kind of contact Hasuba having to be

11:03stretched off the pitch play resumes and now there are six minutes left to be played at least

11:10oh off the volley let me see the Iketa never stopped believing one

11:17a lovely bit of skill and a backheel to create space it's a shot that's going to be toward

11:22target and what a goal

11:26c'est incroyable unbelievable scenes here at the

11:30Salle Municipale de Bereshid as a substitute Brulais Cissé on his first touch of the ball

11:36on the first touch of the ball excuse me rifles the ball into the top corner beating Yanis Sakho

11:46it's unbelievable they've done it they have defeated Les Aiglons four to two

11:54on this match day three encounter and they are going to be the group leaders

11:58heading into the quarterfinals on Friday

12:04magic magic from the foot of Brulais Cissé and I can't wait to see the replay

12:15from such distance you would have thought it could have been a speculative effort

12:19but no he knew exactly what he was doing must have been waiting on the bench

12:23biding his time and then when he's introduced and given the chance to to shine Brulais Cissé

12:29takes it look at the focus and then the execution it's perfect the curve and from the moment it

12:37left his foot you could tell by his face he knew he got it smoothly and he caught it cleanly

12:41and the scenes of joy and that's the final whistleblown four two victory for Les Elephantaux

12:49over Les Aiglons a wonderful team effort from the team in orange and they deservedly

12:57get their victory by four goals to two here at the Stade de Bereshid in Morocco
