The "rowers" of TPM have sank the Sudan boat
LIVE OF TP MAZEMBE - EL MERREIKH
And now, Mr. Garzitto, what do you say?
October 4, 2015
Fifty-three minutes. This is the time Mazembe took to open the scoring. The time during which the fortress of El Merreikh withstood without damage to the pressure of the Ravens. And then in the following 19 minutes, the Sudanese have cracked under the onslaught of ASSALE, DIARRA, ULIMWENGU and SAMATTA more furious than ever. Three to zero, It's in the final that the margin puts the Sudanese in their place. And with them their coach, very provocative in his remarks before the match. Mazembe will play the final of the 2015 Champion’s League against USM Alger. First Leg in Algiers the last weekend of October, second leg in Lubumbashi in the first weekend of November. If you want, we keep a place for you Mr. Garzitto in Kamalondo.

Half-time in Kamalondo 0-0. During this period, the Ravens have made the game against the Sudanese entrenched in defense and very present in the tackle.

Go ahead Ravens, Press! Press! Press! Make shake the nets and make vibrate the Temple.
ASSALE takes the place of ASANTE
