Tout Puissant Mazembe

It was an hour late that the match between Ocean Pacifique - TP Mazembe started, on Friday, February 16 at Tshikisha Stadium in Mbuji-Mayi. The reason being: the very late arrival of the central referee Etienne SADISA, appointed at the last minute to replace referee AZANGA, who was selected for a match of the Confederation Cup...

It was finally at 4:35 pm that the kickoff could be given.

A ball on the crossbar and two taps from LUKOKO, the goalkeeper allowed Ocean Pacifique to return to the locker room without conceding. In the second half Ravens dominated quite clearly an opponent who also had some brilliant actions. But we remained on a goalless draw which concluded, logically, a poor party in terms of goal opportunities...
