00:00kickoff ball from its pedestal and march out smiling trailing behind him the respective teams
00:06Tanzania in blue Nigeria in green and black two sides preparing to do battle on the grand stage
00:14that is the Africa Cup of Nations Sando Lise Tanzania there is an underdog story there that
00:20the next hosts of the Africa Cup of Nations or co-hosts at least they need this tournament to
00:24be strong the importance of getting off to a strong start from it that year the Arribaida says we can
00:33get underway and Nigeria kick us off at the complex sportif affairs the journey begins the story start
00:39to write themselves and somewhere in this match character will be revealed as the next chapter
00:45is written it's Nigeria in their traditional green and black it is Tanzania in the blue and yellow
00:50hello and welcome is Allah here gets on to the end of a ball for Tanzania looking to push forward down
00:55towards the near side where Monbois looks back to his midfield that's very very good recovery from
01:02Abdullah to denial cement potential on the end of that Jaquesie looks from range and it was a little
01:09bit of a bobble to Bertie Forba manages to bring that under control yeah because the ball got him
01:15up eventually might have a point Kenny will be they're asking for the ball pleading for the ball receives
01:22the ball now Chikwesi it's going to Sunusi asked a great deal of Sunusi goal kick it is
01:31more recently with young Africans and segura black stars in Tanzania here's a chance for Nigeria again
01:41little breakthrough tight angle acute angle it is brilliantly blocked by Forba
01:45more recently with young Africans and segura black stars in Tanzania here's a chance for Nigeria again
01:54little breakthrough tight angle acute angle it is brilliantly blocked by Forba it is a beautiful
02:01movement beautiful movement by our core here the lateral movement before going deep that's what kept him
02:07away from from from from the outside very very beautiful movement in the face it's like all Adams
02:16look to finish 10 minutes gone no goals as yet but Nigeria have the corner here Jaquesie header off the
02:24woodwork agonizingly close the taller men forward away from taking the lead in this tie as Basi came running
02:33onto it with some power behind it as well yeah very good movement for Basi they taken off on the way
02:39he's able to stay oh it's no it's not Basi thought it was Basi from our angle from our vantage point but
02:44it's uh Akor Adams who's got the final touch on there Tanzanians are playing what you're doing and so far
02:53they are doing it well Kapombe flying up on their far side flank he's got two men to aim at maybe just
03:00offside but a lovely acrobatic attempt at a finish that Nwabali gathers up cleanly into an attacking area
03:07he's a decidedly dangerous finisher the supporters have to attack but at the same time they have to be very
03:16careful and make sure that they don't allow the opposition to go on a counter ball just in behind
03:23Jimmy a little more central now usually plays in a wider position Jaquesie picks up the loose ball
03:28and here's a chance for look my no see men looking to time his run as he straight into an offside
03:33position maybe the chance to shoot fires powerfully and wide and then eventually the offside flag is
03:38raised but I think if Ossiman had applied the lateral movement we spoke about earlier on a little bit
03:44more he would have been able to keep himself onside
03:47bringing some continental experience
03:50the Confederation Cup into this tournament Jaquesie again
03:55looks for a teammate Ossiman can't find a finish from a ball that shot out in his direction
04:01leaving the play to Nigerians anyway
04:10oh Akor Adams gets away from two before being felled
04:13Fosters winner for South Africa against Angola
04:17Salah's 90th minute winner for Egypt after Mahmusha equalized the second half against Zimbabwe
04:23there's Jaquesie another dazzling run down the flank will be among those players approaching 100
04:32international appearances earning his 90 second cap here and now that Bassie follows and Calvin comes away with
04:41possession Akor Adams
04:43Ossiman into space touches on drives past the keeper and surely now denied with a clearance off the line
04:52scrambling defensive efforts we are the lead courtesy of Bakari Mangyeto
04:59great strike but Ossiman should have tried as much as possible to put that ball in the air not on the ground
05:07beating the goalkeeper this the next ball should be up forward
05:14well there's quality defending from Mangyeto
05:17young man to Danai Ossiman who rounded the keeper for the second time in the game but got off an accurate shot for the first time
05:26Chukwezi here's Iwobi Nigeria still pushing high presence the header is there and the goal is good
05:32Nigeria can celebrate the Super Eagles have left off and it's Shemi Ajay who scores only his second international goal
05:41and he attacked the ball
05:43beautiful pull out
05:45and a very good very good header
05:49that's lovely lofted in by Iwobi
05:53but Shemi Ajay
05:55that aerial presence that is often so critical in defensive efforts
05:59becomes critical up front as he scores the opener for Nigeria
06:05and he attacked the ball
06:07very very important
06:09came from behind went towards the ball and attacked it
06:13like a
06:14straight down the center the option potentially there
06:17Miroshi
06:19might fancy something looks for Samata now
06:22Space Alarachia on target
06:24Mawali in the wet unable to seize it cleanly
06:27but blocks the shot
06:31I'll say
06:32Didi
06:33looks from range and that's a brilliant effort
06:36denied by format
06:37Chukwezi picks up on it
06:39chance to finish deflected and tipped over
06:41he should have struck it immediately
06:43the
06:44beautiful
06:45oh
06:46and that is that's supposed to be his weak foot
06:48yeah he should have struck the ball immediately when the ball came back
06:50the moment you do that yeah
06:52there is there is panic here hit it
06:55goal is goal
06:59Chukwezi from the near side delivery again toward the back post
07:03looking for the acrobatic
07:04and Osime
07:06are successful in making contact
07:09sees his effort denied by
07:12I think it's a little bit normal because there has not been really monumental errors from
07:20I think it's just Nigeria just played on their best quality
07:24and
07:25that's a goal
07:26and inside the opening minutes after the restart
07:28the offside flag is up it won't count
07:32of tremendous quality
07:34but the flag up for offside
07:36Akor is a turn on the flesh of the of the Tanzanians
07:41maybe looking to give himself a little bit of an early birthday present with a fine finish here
07:46how was that touch to finish them
07:48but I think what what we should give something we should give compliment to the movement of Akor
07:53is his effort denied by
07:57that was the end of the first half in Nigeria
08:01Nigeria is taking the lead
08:031-0 to Tanzania
08:05this is not over
08:07actually we have 45 minutes more
08:09but we're coming back with the Express
08:12half-time show
08:13so don't move
08:14you're watching
08:15Beansports
08:16on target
08:18for Tanzania
08:19only four shots
08:21in two of them
08:22on goal
08:24everything is up ladies and gentlemen
08:26don't move
08:34Samata gets the second half underway
08:36Tanzania in the blue and yellow
08:37trail by a goal to Nigeria
08:39who play in the green and black
08:41Kapombe
08:42with a long ball down towards his captain Samata
08:44who
08:45in the wet conditions
08:46can't quite bring
08:47Nigeria put enough pressure to disrupt the passing game of Tanzania
08:50that
08:51when they're given space
08:52can flourish
08:53Kapombe
08:54in towards the edge of that area
08:56Samata
08:57crowded
08:58opts not to go through
09:00finds Alragia
09:01Miroshi
09:02chip over the top
09:03and the run on
09:04and that's gonna stand
09:06Moabwa
09:08has now got three goals
09:09in his last two games
09:10Tanzania
09:11back on level terms
09:12in brilliant fashion
09:13Dwayne
09:15this is impressive
09:16look at
09:17look at the change of direction
09:18the change of play
09:19the
09:20the
09:21this goal started from the right
09:22shifted to the left
09:23they
09:24they moved
09:25Nigerian right
09:26left
09:27right left
09:28back to the left
09:29there was nobody
09:30taking the man
09:31this is
09:34and
09:35maybe the presence of Samata
09:36there was key
09:37because when Samata got into the ball
09:38his path was immediately blocked
09:39there were three defenders in front of him
09:41what that did was create a little bit of space
09:43and maybe
09:44diverted attention from Moabwa's run
09:46Nigeria
09:47look through the centre
09:48here
09:49Lukman
09:50delivers again
09:51Andemola
09:53Lukman
09:54with a fine goal
09:55that takes Nigeria
09:56back in front
09:57mere minutes after
09:59an equaliser for Tanzania
10:02in the second half passage
10:04to play
10:05clinical finishing

10:11in his own hands
10:12four players in front of him
10:14but clinical finishing
10:15with
10:16with his left foot
10:17this is really
10:18well struck
10:21well
10:25he was the rampant goal scorer
10:26in the knockout stages
10:27for Nigeria
10:28well
10:29that's
10:30that's why
10:31we love the AFCON
10:33the bombay
10:35whipped in
10:36decent looking delivery
10:37space for Alarakia
10:38hits it deflected
10:39and that's
10:40pushed wide
10:41for the offside flag
10:42will go up
10:43runs there
10:47it's unadmissible
10:48at this level
10:49to leave the man behind
10:55inadmissible
10:59well
11:00if Nigeria
11:01have the quality

12:00mabulo got a touch on it
12:01Nigeria
12:02happy to work the ball away
12:04indeed he with a clearance
12:06Kapornbe
12:07brings it under control
12:08from under the feet of Osimen
12:10and now
12:11at that world cup
12:13but he keeps coming back
12:15he's a resilient star is Moses
12:17Simon
12:18keeps this ball in play
12:20inside outside
12:22Moses Simon
12:24for the assist potentially
12:25it will be
12:26just over
12:28at that world cup
12:31but he keeps coming back
12:33he's a resilient star is Moses
12:35Simon
12:36keeps this ball in play
12:38inside outside
12:40Moses Simon
12:42Simon
12:43for the assist potentially
12:44Iwobi
12:45just over
12:47seats
12:48in anticipation of a finish
12:50but agonizingly high
12:52it will have been almost like
12:53a carbon copy of the ghost called by Lukeman
12:57that almost pleading look at Iwobi
13:01layered into my path
13:03and Iwobi's assist for the opener stunning
13:05here is a ball
13:06layered into a semen's path
13:08it was an awkward angle
13:09to try to finish with his right
13:11sent in invitingly
13:13but again
13:14nodded away
13:15Kelvin John
13:16pulls it back
13:18Miroshi
13:20switches the angle
13:22gets away from
13:23Osimen
13:24a bit of space
13:25straight down the centre
13:26where
13:27Hussein has it control
13:28plenty of experience between those two
13:30it's
13:32obviously getting involved again
13:35it's
13:36Simon
13:37in combination with Iwobi
13:38gets past his marker
13:39Kapombe left behind
13:40delivery in
13:41it is impressive the introduction of
13:43Moses Simon
13:44out wide
13:45in behind the defender
13:47comeback
13:48was certainly on
13:49but not accomplished
13:50he scored in a victory over Burkina Faso
13:54delivery in
13:55Osimen
13:56brings it down
13:58doesn't bring it under control
13:59keepers come out
14:01dangerously
14:02Machiro looked to finish
14:03but couldn't
14:04blocked by Forba who's down on one knee
14:07oh I think Osimen could have done better with the first touch there
14:12I think that's what put him into
14:15kind of source
14:16because physically he had
14:17kind of
14:18he seemed to have dominated
14:19the defender
14:20yeah
14:31back into space
14:33Miroshi
14:34just in front of that back four
14:35Mabula again
14:36lovely ball through
14:37chance to strike at first time
14:39not taken
14:40and then pulled off targets
14:41at the second time of asking by Kelvin John
14:44probably the best Tanzanian side I've seen
14:47play
14:49this is
14:50goes on that overlap down the left flank
14:53because he's such a dangerous crosser of the ball
14:55from the corner
14:56Miroshi
14:57in toward the near post
14:58bouncing around dangerously
15:00the opportunity however not taken by Tanzania
15:03Abdullah with a chance to finish
15:05an agonizing moment
15:08not only in the miss
15:10but indeed the cramp that seemingly struck him
15:13moments after
15:15this asymmetric way of
15:17this asymmetric way of
15:18the mouth and that will be it says
15:20Dan Bader of Mauritania
15:22the referee signals the end of this opening fixture in Group C of the African Cup of Nations
15:29Morocco 2025 and Nigeria have beaten Tanzania by two goals to one
15:34it's not a statement win
15:37but it is three points guaranteed
15:38and the perfect platform to launch into their campaign
15:41before they meet Tunisia
15:43on match day two in four days time
15:45Tanzania
15:46have Uganda in rabat in four days time
15:49before they finish their group against
