Tout Puissant Mazembe

The Ravens start 2018 with a victory as they finished 2017 by a win. Meschak ELIA and Nathan SINKALA are the goal scorers of a Mazembe team dressed for the circumstance in ... red and white. With only one day of training session in the legs, Pamphile MIHAYO's men showed that they did not leave their skills in their families during the holidays. By winning 2-0 against Ecofoot Moïse KATUMBI, the leader tackles better this second leg.

The first event of the match takes place at the 10^th minute. It is after a pass at ten that the twirling ELIA, the best player of the last CHAN, inherits a ball from Trésor MPUTU to lodge a superb shot in the skylight. Subsequently, a dominant TPM in front of young people who learned a lot against the last winner of the Confederation Cup. And a corner of Meschak ELIA scrambled in the small area for a conclusion of Nathan SINKALA ten minutes from halftime. TPM has launched 2018 by consolidating its position at the top of the partial ranking of the Center-South group.
