August 21, 2015
For the 8th encounter between Al Hilal and TPM, memories are epic between these two big of Africa. Back to the encounter with the incredible scenario that made TP Mazembe a bulldozer even on a pitch of his opponents. In 2009, the road passed by Khartoum, in the semifinals, to be crowned African champions.
Certainly, there will have stunning match between Al Hilal and TP Mazembe. The Sudanese are at ease to impose a result to TP Mazembe in Lubumbashi as the Ravens in turn will allow walking quietly on Omdurman.
In the semi-final of the first leg for 2009 Champion’s League in Omdurman, the first minutes are like the nightmare scenario for Ravens: Malian defender Barry DEMBA of Al Hilal, after 54 seconds put TP Mazembe in doubt by opening the score. Mazembe reacts through Guy LUSADISU in the 4th Al Hilal strikes again following a penalty whistled by the referee Koman COULIBALY from Mali. But the Sudanese team then collapses like a house of cards: 2-5 in the final.
That day in Omdurman, the Ravens towered
At home Sunday, October 4, 2009, the Sudanese team is in an impasse and unable to worry more dangerously Robert KIDIABA throughout the second half. A fantastic turnaround and mental of strength for the future champion. With this demonstration away from their base, the Ravens launched their early reign on the continent that will lead them to the 2009 coronation.
The score of Guy LUSADISU forgotten by the international television
That day, beyond demonstrating in the pitch of Ravens, two major facts had revived the comments of enthusiasts of football:
- Spotlights of Omdurman Stadium had gone off, cooling actors and spectators for a good ten minutes;
- 5th goal by Guy LUSADISU in additional time was forgotten by international television! Blame is on the cut of the radio link between Khartoum and government broadcasting located in Europe...
