Tout Puissant Mazembe

An away precious point, this Wednesday, December 6^th, in front of Dibumba: TPM brilliantly continues its harvest of points in Kananga. After having largely dominated Tshinkunku (4-1), Pamphile MIHAYO's men were held back by the Scorpions on their grass at the Stade des Jeunes!

Given the face of the game, a draw does not entirely make sense. After a fairly balanced first half, MBOKO the goalkeeper and the referee had the Ravens' chances aborted. Penalties not whistled, lucky saves of the goalkeeper, time loss, etc. We can nevertheless regret the first twenty minutes of the second period when TPM should have scored on two phases of USHINDI and MULEKA the newcomers. But we will not be choosy, when we do not win, we should not at least lose...
