00:01So the referee blows the whistle and away we go in Dar es Salaam.

00:05The whistle barely audible over the noise being made by the Tanzanian fans inside the Benjamin Mkapa.

00:14Homeside gets us underway.

00:16The second leg of the Total Energies CAF Confederation Cup quarter-final between Simba and Almazri.

00:30Nicely forwards by Dennis.

00:37Makuala was onto it, cuts inside brilliantly. It's a good ball in!

00:42But Ahua rather fluffed its lines.

00:46Got you off your seat in the first five or so minutes here.

00:50Simba straight back on the front foot again.

00:54That one dinked into the box but just a little beyond the run.

00:59Balls killed dead in the wrong space just like that.

01:04It could prove very problematic.

01:07Hussaini into the middle.

01:09Just missed.

01:15But Ahua can pick it up at the second time of Arsenal.

01:19Ali Maia.

01:20The strongest start to his tenure.

01:31OK form in the Egyptian Premier League.

01:35Didn't perform all that well in the cup.

01:40This time, the pitch counting out Dennis.

01:47Mpantu has support from Kapombe.

01:53Anywhere will do.

01:55It's already looking a bit desperate at times from the Almazri defence.

01:58Touch rattled.

01:59Elma Hamidi puts that one behind for a corner.

02:03He very easily could have gone, at the very least, out for a throw.

02:08There it was.

02:21Stephen Mkwala.

02:22Mkwala's head to the ball.

02:27Kpombe.

02:28Kpombe.

02:29Kpombe.

02:30Kpombe.

02:31Looking for the run of Mpantu.

02:32Mpantu's going to win it back here.

02:35And feed it through for Ahua.

02:37Important sliding tackle from Elma Hamidi.

02:40They're pumped up as well.

02:46Al Masri.

02:47It's going to be a fascinating second leg.

02:52And even more so now.

02:57Elma Hamidi sends the Benjamin Mkapa into Raptors.

03:06They needed that.

03:11And how different does the complexion of the next hour or so look now?

03:16It just opened up in front of the Congolese winger.

03:30Deflection certainly played its part for Shamari Kpombe.

03:43Another chance.

03:44This time saved by Gad.

03:46To catch either on the bounce or dropping from height.

03:51Kpombe throws himself.

03:52Doesn't get there.

03:53Head up.

03:54It's straight at camera.

03:55It's spilt.

03:56Back to one point.

03:57The combination of the keeper.

03:58And two of his defenders.

03:59The combination of the keeper.

04:01And two of his defenders.

04:03Who have sent it in.

04:05But straight into the gloves of Gad this time.

04:11Plenty of pace on the free kick but Gad will claim and of course hit the turf to try and

04:19keep Simba at a single goal.

04:24Here comes Impantu again.

04:28Cutting inside the pitch that catches out Karabue and here is the man who scored the

04:35first goal of the tie looking to put his side back in control.

04:40Degmoum denied, brakes on the edge.

04:43Hamid Hussaini towards to Ahuwa.

04:48Pansu.

04:50Hussaini again.

04:51He'll lift it in towards the head of Makwana.

04:58First leg score 2-0.

05:01Second leg score is already 2-0.

05:05It's 30 minutes in.

05:07Simba have levelled us back up.

05:10And that's what it means to the home fans.

05:25Gad looks on.

05:26They expected to survive longer than this.

05:31They knew what they were coming up against Almagry.

05:33They backed themselves to hold on, to defend hard.

05:38But with a little over 30 minutes on the clock, Simba have restored parity.

05:42And you can't say they're not good credit for a 2-0 lead here.

05:48A great delivery in.

05:52It was still an awkward header for Makwana.

05:55Makwana.

05:57Kong Nonde.

06:02Trying to let the game flow.

06:04It is flowing.

06:06This time, the cross.

06:08To be the man who won it to take the corner.

06:11Sent in low.

06:12Flicked on by Makwana.

06:14But there isn't time.

06:22Nonetheless, job thoroughly done in the first half for Simba here.

06:27Healyan Pansu with a deflected effort in the 22nd minute.

06:36And 10 minutes later, Stephen McCuala El-Gahari.

06:41And also coming off, Samadu Atejiku.

06:54Double change made by Anis Bujabene.

06:59Will it have the desired effect for what is a crucial...

07:04As part of that back five, it was traditionally a centre mid.

07:09Playing as a makeshift.

07:10Centre back and it's been given away here immediately by Gad.

07:14Into the penalty area.

07:17And down to the floor goes Sean Charles Ahua.

07:24Look in the direction of Njindo Hoongnonde.

07:30Referee not interested.

07:32Could have been costly there by Gad.

07:35Can he deliver from a set piece?

07:42A dead ball here.

07:43Ahua.

07:44It's off the bar.

07:48Well, Gad will say he had that covered.

07:50He was pretty slow getting across.

07:52Yes, Jean Charles Ahua.

07:54Yes, Jean Charles Ahua.

07:59Centimetres...

08:00...from, I think...

08:01...completing the turnaround here.

08:04I'm not sure.

08:05Running in on goal.

08:07Moosa Kamara only able to punch it in.

08:09And there's an acrobatic effort from just outside the area, which was on target.

08:19Dennis Kapombe.

08:24And Goma can't get it back to the right back, but he's got it back himself.

08:29And he's gone down in the box.

08:30Is there a decision to be made?

08:32Habbling currently, waiting to really boil over.

08:41Tensions, certainly getting close to boiling over, but the action as well.

08:51As Bahir El-Mohammadi this time drops to his knees.

08:56Disbelief at the decision.

08:59McQuala going down, winning a free kick.

09:00Even more dangerous position than the one from which Ahuwa hit the crossbar.

09:16Now, Mohammadi claiming his innocence.

09:20There was a collision.

09:22McQuala, they can stand where they want, though.

09:24Dennis leaves it.

09:28Ahuwa!

09:29Straight at Mahmoud Gad.

09:31They get in each other's way.

09:34The latter does manage to get the ball out of his feet.

09:38Over to the substitute, Valentin Numa, who wins a corner kick.

09:43Particularly nervy moments here for Al-Mahsri.

09:53And we have another player down.

09:59And also another yellow card for...

10:02Nearly a red card, even, for seemingly a member of the medical team.

10:09I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's all bubbling over.

10:14Lots of frustrations.

10:15I think this is the Simba medics trying to get involved and...

10:22Do a good deed, I'm sure, in their eyes.

10:26Help out the downed Al-Mahsri man.

10:31Whilst also...

10:32Coincidentally...

10:34Speeding things up, potentially.

10:38We will finally...

10:40See this corner taken.

10:43Headed away by Mohsen, who continues on for now.

10:47Again, two players in each other's way.

10:48That's not a bad effort, and it's not far wide.

10:56Al-Mahsri forced to retreat.

10:58Once again, back to the edge of their own area.

11:02Always the game plan.

11:04To defend hard.

11:06Try and catch Simba on the break.

11:09They've not threatened a huge amount.

11:11They have defended very hard since that equalising goal.

11:17Just a slow start that cost them.

11:20Schedule programming here.

11:23The regular direction of the traffic.

11:25Here comes Kapombe and Makuala.

11:27Makuala looks to set up Dennis.

11:29Another shot blocked.

11:30Mahmoud Gad will claim that, and will probably stay on the turf...

11:33...for as long as he dares.

11:36Of course, has already...

11:38Here comes Simba.

11:43Is this the moment?

11:44Two and a half minutes left.

11:46Kapombe!

11:46Oh, it's millimetres wide.

11:50Will the referee add on to the ten minutes that we've already had after...

11:57...where he should have been blowing for the final time.

12:04Well, there's your answer.

12:06That's that.

12:08Nothing to separate these two.

12:10Over 180 minutes plus of football.

12:13A 2-0 win in the home leg for each side.

12:21And it creeps it past, Makmoud Gad.

12:26A bit close for comfort, but it's 1-0 Simba.

12:30And pressure now will be on the Almazri takers.

12:38Always playing catch-up.

12:43Just about enough.

12:45He was looking at the keeper.

12:48Gad didn't move.

12:49Moose the camera.

12:50Supposed to make himself look big.

12:52And it does the job.

12:55Kamra saves the first Almazri penalty.

12:59Long way to go.

13:02But Simba...

13:04...take hold of this shootout.

13:07Early on.

13:16Straight down the middle from Gaber.

13:22And the camera waited enough.

13:24Stephen Makwala.

13:29Cool as you like.

13:31This time, Gad did move.

13:35Makwala just passed it into the net.

13:38He made it 2-0 in regular time.

13:40He makes it 2-0 in the shootout.

13:42That little delayed jump.

13:50Just allowing Gad to move.

13:53He went right.

13:57To calm himself.

14:00And slots it into the bottom corner.

14:04Keeps Almazri in this one.

14:07It would have been tough to come back.

14:08From 2 converted Simba penalties and 2 missed Almazri ones.

14:16He sets the Egyptian side on their way.

14:18And it was an excellently taken penalty.

14:20Had to be.

14:21Camera went the right way.

14:22It was very close.

14:25To making it 2 saves out of 2.

14:31Beautifully into the top corner.

14:32It may have been close for comfort.

14:40The first take-up.

14:43But Makwala and Dennis.

14:47Have looked composed.

14:51And converted.

14:54And it's saved again.

14:59Camera wheels away.

15:01Celebrates.

15:03Like a goal scorer.

15:05But that.

15:06Is as big as any goal.

15:082 saves from 3 so far.

15:11For the Ghanaian keeper in this shootout.

15:14Fadlu Davids keeps his call.

15:16He knows there's work still to be done.

15:20But Simba.

15:21Are on the cusp.

15:22It's gone the right way.

15:29Every time.

15:33Hamada.

15:35It wasn't high enough nor low enough.

15:38In the quarterfinal exit two years ago.

15:43He scores today.

15:44Wrongs are righted.

15:52Simba.

15:53Are into the semifinals.

15:55Badly Davids wanted his team to draw upon that famous night in Istanbul.

16:09And they've done just that.

16:10Liverpool fought back.

16:12To prevail via a penalty shootout.

16:16His Simba side have done the same.

16:19Divine intervention.

16:21From Shamari Kapombe.

16:24Missed in the shootout.

16:26As Simba exited at the hands of Wiedad.

16:31In 2023.

16:33The quarterfinal of the Champions League.

16:37Simba right the wrongs of the first leg.

16:39Kapombe rights the wrongs of that penalty miss.

16:42And now.

16:43Fadlu Davids.

16:44Let's all the emotions out.

16:51It's heartbreak for Al-Mazri.

16:52It's pure unadulterated joy.

16:57For Simba.

17:03They came with a job to do.

17:06They did it.

17:11They all meet.

17:13The winner.

17:16Between Stell and Bosch.
