C1 – LIVE MERREIKH - MAZEMBE 2-1
Close to a draw, but...
September 26, 2015
TP Mazembe is not comfortable in Khartoum. Saturday night, however, he could get a draw and go home with a smile. At 15 minutes from time, Thomas ULIMWENGU "Rambo" more than ever gave them hope by equalizing with rage and control. With a little more concentration in the dying minutes, a stricter labeling, the party could be concluded positively. But the very skilled BAKHRI snatched victory for very rough Sudanese the referee has often let him be.
