Tout Puissant Mazembe

TP Mazembe added a friendly in its preparation program by welcoming Lubumbashi Sports in Kamalondo. Ravens were simply fine with the thinnest of wins (1-0) but controlling the game from start to finish. Some problems of automatism remain unresolved and the lack of efficiency and concentration in the conclusion of offensive actions.

In the first 20 minutes we saw especially Tanzanians, with the overflow of SAMATTA on center side for ULIMWENGU whose foot was too short (2nd). The same ULIMWENGU saw his head kick blocked following a cross by SINGULUMA the head kick by SAMATTA being off target (4th). It was then KALABA who hit the goalkeeper after a breakthrough by ULIMWENGU while avoiding the offside (21th).

We have also noted a combination by KABASO - ADJEI - KALABA (28th over), while Lubumbashi was busy but without getting to deceive the triangle of COULIBALY - DIARRA - KABASO. In conclusion a Crossing ball by SAMATTA, the head kick by KALABA passed over (34th) while Idriss MBOMBO went alone into the left lane, but face-to -face with BAKULA he opened widely his right foot (44th).

SINGULUMA finally...

The shot launched by BAKULA in 5m50, that KALABA received and gave it in lobe to SINGULUMA in the penalty area. Finally he faked the goalkeeper Daniel MITSHINENU with the outside of his right foot: 1-0 (45th)

In the second period, COULIBALY who illustrated with a head kick which went over the crossbar (52th) an action concluded with two corners without result. On Lubumbashi side, a head kick by Idriss MBOMBO went off target (58th) and a shot from about 30 meters, BAKULA put the ball in corner (63th). After several checks and dribbling by KALABA in the penalty area, the shot of Master Rainford was driven in a corner by the goalkeeper of Kamikaze (67th) and a ball of SINGULUMA flew above the crossbar.

A head kick by SAMATTA grazed the left post of the goalkeeper MITSHINENU, very fit this afternoon, after an action SINGULUMA – AWAKO – MBELU (88th) before ASANTE in the penalty area after a series of twists and strikes with strength to obtain only a corner (89th).

TPM remained on this short success in the presence of Mrs. Carine KATUMBI, the 5 Leopards back from CHAN and Hervé NDONGA who joined Don Bosco. The coach CARTERON was satisfied, noting the good behavior of the defense and saying that the game had given him valuable information before playing against Elima.
