Tout Puissant Mazembe

A narrow victory but consolidating TPM in its first place in the group with 9 points after the first leg of group B, won against Mouloudia Club of Algiers brings Ravens to quarterfinals. Changing its attacking trident during the game, Pamphile MIHAYO dared doing it and it was thanks to the substitute Meschak ELIA that came the deliverance... three minutes from the end.

It was necessary to be patient as Baba had indicated. Over minutes, the Algerians have weakened and folded on the goal of Meschak ELIA. Launched by Christian KOUAME who received a ball from the other substitute, Chico USHINDI, the winger "joker" anticipated the goalkeeper coming off the goal line to conclude with the left foot.

At the end of a match where opportunities after opportunities on both sides, 4 were to be scored by visitors and only the intervention of Sylvain GBOHOUO allowed TPM to believe again with a save of high class (79^th).

On this match, we needed something more concrete to be happy. A little in pain but the reward of perseverance. It was then a short moment of rejoicing, not that of the big nights because savored by some 9000 supporters leaving happy after the deliverance at the very end of the game. Phew!
