00:00Mijeli also there as gets us underway then here at the Stadion Donne.

00:06Asfa are about 4-1 down from the first leg in their predominantly dark strip

00:12kicking from left to right here in the first half. Pyramids, well very much in

00:16the box seat after the opening 90 minutes and they'll need a solid start

00:20here they can't afford to let Asfa get their tails up with an early goal, that

00:26will put a real touch paper to the home fans as well who have been banging

00:32their drums and singing and letting off firecrackers for the last hour or so.

00:36Talcarnero, nice ball in, Furkan, Furkan again good first touch tries to pull the

00:46ball back that goes out for a corner

00:56well has it gone out for a corner, that looks like a, oh nice layoff.

01:02Wokan gets the ball back in and there's the opener for Asfa eight minutes in and

01:08it's game on here in Morocco

01:09Amin Zuzu I think with the finish I don't think we need a VAR check on this one

01:27well well well the team sailing high at the top of the Egyptian Premier League now

01:35under the pump here in Morocco and that look lovely layoff by El Fahle it turned

01:44into a glorious one too with Atul Kan and Yusuf El Fahle finally had his first goal of

01:51the Champions League this season and how precious will that turn out to be by the

01:55the end of the day

02:07Shibby the right-back comes up to take the corner

02:14little dummy with it with Fatih the ball lost ball in and the header straight at the keeper

02:19great opportunity back in and into the keeper's hands Hamza Hamiani a lucky man

02:24that was a lovely delivery in the

02:27there's the shot count three each but

02:35that ball hooked over the top a little bit aimless

02:39can't help but think there's going to be some sort of sanction against the Asfa fans

02:47after this game no matter what happens

02:53El Shinawe just boots that ball out of play there's an Asfa player down on the edge of the

02:58centre circle

03:02this was the incident

03:04the

03:11tears as well

03:12that's how much it means to players when they can no longer continue

03:15interesting to see who comes on in his place

03:17he replaced

03:18Nabi Nagy in the back four

03:21going to be the in swinger six shirts in there now

03:24in fact goes for the long one here towards Zuzu

03:26takes it down Zuzu

03:28well measures the shot blast it high and wide

03:31well that's a good idea from Asfa you do that once or twice and you sort of try and pick out the player on the edge of the area

03:40lots of room to a

03:42dink a ball into there

03:44it's a decent looking delivery the defence though steps back

03:48Barker puts the ball back in there headed away

03:50Mieli beaten in the air

03:52Chibi beaten in the air

03:53oh and it's dropped here

03:55the shot deflects keeper comes for it

03:57why didn't you catch that Mr. El Shinawe

04:00humble and deep lying player

04:03now good ball in

04:04Mieli with the header

04:05and there's a goal back for Pyramid

04:07out of the blue

04:09and Fister Mieli's bagged his seventh goal

04:16at the Champions League this season we did see earlier in the game that the marking from set piece is not great from Asfa

04:25and again

04:26where was the defence on that one

04:29Mieli's onside he's been played on by Bach

04:32and there's no one with him at all in fact there's two players there completely unmarked

04:42there will be a VAR check

04:47good ball in from Chibi but again there's just no one with him

04:50you cannot give the opposition striker a free header like that

04:55waving your arm in the air isn't going to help

04:57Amiani exposed by the defenders in front of him

05:21and the goal is confirmed

05:23finally

05:24well

05:26so another set piece here for Pyramids

05:28they've been dangerous all evening

05:29they were dangerous in the first leg as well

05:33are we going to get

05:34that corner

05:35no we're not the referee deciding that's enough

05:37for the first half here

05:39at the Stade d'Arneur

05:41in Meknes

05:43make things really interesting in this second

05:4545

05:46Pyramids thought they got one back

05:48through Fister Mieli just before the break

05:50that was eventually chalked off after a long

05:52VR check for off-site

05:55so underway then here in the second half

05:57Asfar our hosts

05:58although not at their home stadium as

06:01that is currently

06:04being used

06:05or being refurbished rather

06:06ahead of being used in the

06:08Africa Cup of Nations

06:09also been held in Morocco at the end of the year

06:11the Prince Moulai Abdallah stadium

06:14if you think the atmosphere here

06:17with a maximum crowd of 12,000 is hot

06:19and now all of a sudden

06:20Asfar on the counter-attack

06:21oh and they're spacing behind here

06:23here's El Fahli

06:25oh brilliant save from El Shinawi

06:29and El Shinawi comes out

06:31he's still out there

06:32and he eventually gives away the free kick

06:34and I think he's going to get a yellow card as well

06:36determined to get the game stopped there

06:38wasn't he Armand El Shinawi

06:40got Torfik for company over there on the right hand side

06:43Hadraf

06:44then wider and wider

06:45then cuts inside

06:47nice ball into the near post

06:48and a slip from Gabba

06:50what he says there was a tug on the shirt

06:53does the pyramids captain

06:57another set piece then in

06:58five minutes into this second half

07:00goes for the back post

07:01headed up rather than away

07:03by Hamdi

07:05held further away there

07:07lobbed back in

07:08Hamdi again with the header

07:09and it's going to be a tight one

07:10that one for El Shinawi

07:11oof

07:12that was close

07:13eh Torkan

07:15nearly get

07:18now Remat

07:22moving the ball quickly here Asfar

07:24oh nearly

07:25and it has indeed

07:26almost picked up

07:27by Zuzu

07:30Zuzu gets it back again

07:31on the edge of the area

07:32chips a nice ball into the back

07:33post

07:34and then the header goes over the bar

07:35and there will be a goal kick

07:41claims for otherwise from the Asfar players

07:50and Salbi

07:51brings it forward

07:53oh well now space in behind here for Asfar

07:55and the deflection off the defender

07:57fortunately for Pyramids goes straight to El Shinawi

08:00that could have gone anywhere

08:01that could have gone anywhere

08:04El Kharti perhaps not making the right decision

08:06and now there's space over on that far side

08:08for Anas Bach

08:10oh nice turn

08:11space

08:13turning the area

08:14laid off

08:15put a cross goal and that's off the top of the crossbar

08:17Asfar so close to 2-0 on the night

08:202-0 on the night

08:26machine beating in the air

08:29and Asfar coming forwards again

08:31just three men up in the attack

08:33oh lovely

08:34weighted pass

08:35and there's Bayer to make it

08:362-0

08:373-0

08:42Joel Bayer has come off the bench

08:43and bagged his fourth goal

08:45of the Champions League campaign

08:47and Asfar now

08:48within touching distance

08:52of the semi-finals

08:53that looked so unlikely at the start of the night

08:56and remember this a pyramid side

08:58unbeaten in 24 matches

09:00they've won 20 of them

09:04they're being put to the sword here

09:05in Morocco

09:07lovely finish from Bayer

09:08no chance for the goalkeeper

09:15but surely that was far too easy

09:16they just sliced straight through the defence

09:25and now things really will get interesting

09:27in the last eight minutes or so

09:35and now

09:38Hamadan

09:40fighting for the ball as well

09:41now

09:42over the top

09:44and pyramids

09:45coming through

09:47and now

09:48Bayeley

09:49oh brilliant save

09:50still on the attack here

09:51and eventually

09:52put behind

09:53put away for a throw

09:55now they're defending to be done

09:58Zuzu's going to fancy this one

10:00Zuzu does go for it

10:01and the keeper

10:02rooted to the spot

10:12and pyramids have done it

10:14Asfar have thrown everything at them here

10:17at the stadium done out

10:19but it's pyramids despite losing their 24 game unbeaten run

10:24that have won through

10:27to the CAF Champions League semi-finals

10:30for the first time in their history

10:31they'll face Orlando Pirates

10:32or MC Algier

10:34in those semi-finals at the end of the month

10:39and you've got to feel bad

10:41for Asfar Abad

10:42they've thrown everything into this game

10:43they didn't play well in the first leg

10:45but 4-1

10:46maybe a slightly harsh score line

10:48but they were deservedly beaten in Cairo

10:50but they really put that behind them

10:53and put everything into this second leg here

10:56in Meknes

10:57despite Anik being unable to play

10:59at their home stadium

11:01due to the refurbishment work going on ahead

11:03of the Africa Cup of Nations

11:04at the end of this year

11:06here in Morocco
