Ben MALANGO went to the fight valiantly
WITH A COMMENDABLE 0-0 IN TIZI OUZOU
Solid Ravens avoid the Algerian trap
April 16, 2017
With their two-goal lead at Kamalondo, KALABA's partners were safe from a disaster if they would be serious and vigilant on all the balls. They did it and sent back to his studies a JSK without imagination that has no longer much more to do with its predecessors...
TPM acquired its qualification for the 8th of the C2 first of all thanks to an excellent state of mind. From defense to attack, the whole team composed (with intelligence) by Pamphile MIHAYO and David MWAKASU was solid and cohesive. The defensive work of the forwards was remarkable. The composure of the whole team allowed him to avoid the trap set by Algerians always provocative and simulator, under the eye of a referee often complacent...
A goal by Meschack ELIA refused for an offside against a ball on the post on JSK side: the match logically resulted in a draw to which Sylvain GBOHOUO also contributed well. Some will regret that the Ravens did not show themselves a little more daring by playing too defensive so that the counters should be achieved. But on Easter Sunday, April 16, the essential thing was to qualify for the pool that will start the weekend of May 10.

KICK-OFF by MALANGO
HALFTIME: MAZEMBE WHO DEFENDS WELL. Upon reaching the break with 0-0 synonymous of qualification, TPM had the reward of its big defensive efforts. The whole team tried to protect their lead in the first leg (2-0) with great self-denial and despite the physical challenge imposed by the Algerians. Meschack ELIA, Mika MICHE took a lot of stroke before an impassive Malian referee...
It is regrettable that the TPM has remained too low in the pitch, proceeding only by counters. The Kabyle defense seems very vulnerable... With two defensives midfields, TPM manages to take back the balls and also to sweep the assaults by JSK. In spite of the five to six off free-kicks by the Canaries, GBOHOUO was authoritarian by taking out three balls of fists. KALABA and ELIA for far discreet, both bring a great support to KASUSULA and ISSAMA before the Algerians forced to pass on the sides.
END 0-0. We stop there. Ravens are qualified for the eighth (Group stage)
