00:00stage on home so they did lose at home to Alalal Omdurman
00:10underway in the first leg of the CAF Champions League quarterfinal here from Algeria
00:16MC Alger facing Orlando Pirates FC
00:21and the Ligue 1 champions looking to make a quick start all in white
00:26while the Bucs in black give it away cheaply there by Mahele Leni Makora
00:35and it's almost turned on time strong challenge wins it back from Mofoking
00:42brilliant reverse angle ball clipped in but too close to chain apologies handed out by
00:49Naiji Orlando Pirates surviving but it may not last Bangura drills in the cross
01:01and then left to go for a corner from the clearance punched away the last one
01:06again on his toes and it's almost a carbon copy the only difference is
01:12the cap once again is having to have a number of conversations before deliveries
01:21lots of pushing and wrestling and all for nothing chain with an easy take
01:29MC Alger playing themselves from one end to the other
01:33quick free-flowing football just breaks down when it matters most
01:37really neat exchanging of passing
01:45when it started with this man Zunon a little bit behind but gathered by Naiji clips it in
01:56really good defending to tuck in many favors but they're in behind Bangura
02:03chain with a vital save they think there was a push on the 20 year old
02:14clips it in to the back post headed into the side netting
02:21into the edge of the area Bangura
02:24recycled but a howitzer coming but off target
02:32run for well the goalkeeper going for the header he did play it into
02:42open space but it's then being given away and a rare chance long ranger but well wise speculative
02:51injury to Makhlouba
02:55you know chest down is there a sucker punch moment evidence Gangbog well he went down
03:02Makhlouba out as the pirates are in possession
03:12but now a chance right at the death difficult angle but cuts back onto his right on target
03:17right on target the chain denying Naiji danger not over yet Bangura gives it away
03:29blocked in the wall
03:33referee has another little look
03:40and that is that for the first half
03:42it's been a battling plan work even for a draw hope for a big chance
03:56back underway
04:01goal is here this can't hold on to it
04:05this can't hold on to it
04:10nice little one two drives into the area but it doesn't run kindly
04:19then trying to continue his fine work
04:24speculative effort behind over from Najdi since his arrival in February
04:30swung in and it's the header from the youngster
04:34Alemija head down crosses the poor clearance and just wide of the target
04:45another opportunity
04:48driving run looks for the over up Shane can't hit the target past Shane game chain
04:58it's a match that's lacking in goals real clear-cut opportunities
05:05could there be one for the visitors in behind in Gota wow that's how to make an impact off the bench
05:17the smashing grab is on
05:21as in Gota just minutes after coming on
05:28has had their first chance on goal
05:32and it's in the back of the net
05:37the 20 year olds third champions league goal all have come in Algeria
05:45he put Belouzdad to the sword
05:50he's put MC Alger in a very tough position
05:54tough position
06:00unbeaten quite yet for the Lille academy graduate ball swung in chain is it clear with it
06:09but it's a free kick
06:13VAR is going to check but for now the referee's on-field decision is no goal
06:20what a response this would have been simple chain looks to have made an error
06:29and it was smashed in
06:36well there's very little in it so it's very much up to interpretation
06:41the question is whether chain had two hands on the ball before he got the bump
06:47and before his centre-back partner and captain Zoya Abdellawi smashed it into the empty net
06:59the question is are VAR going to ask him to review his on-field decision because
07:07it's gonna have to be clear and obvious
07:10if that's the exact chance to deliver can they deliver an equalizer no
07:19if that's the exact chance to deliver can they deliver an equalizer no
07:41from deliveries they've only had one in the net but that was ruled out for a foul on chain
07:47this one Hotto manages to get a block on it but it's onto the edge of the area
07:51slammed through a crowd chain gets there first
07:57went with the feet
08:02swung out wide
08:05bodies in the box but they've crossed too deep
08:11looking for a spark
08:12good strength gets to the byline Hotto away
08:18it's delivered in
08:22Bangura
08:26and then Hotto took control of the situation
08:32chance to whip it in header but it can't stay down
08:43but it's well won back Bangura finally gets his shot off chain pushes away he's thankful it was
08:51to his own and Orlando Pirates hold out ball breaks but kindly for the visitors
08:58but kindly for the visitors
09:11whipped into a good area the captain flicking at it stays up and attack and Delawaye clipped in
09:20headed back in oh that over a kick was never going to work
09:28and a yellow card eight additional minutes but that was the minimum
09:34maybe just about 50 seconds or so left
09:39the answer to that is no it's not it's all over and what a victory for Orlando Pirates
09:47they soaked up all the pressure and then they let the pressure valve loose
09:55five minutes
