Tout Puissant Mazembe

Mazembe knows how to maintain traditions. One of them is his invincibility on his carpet of Kamalondo. This Saturday, July 08, at halftime, Horoya AC, champion of Guinea, was qualified for the quarterfinals. In the second period, he made enormous errors which enabled determined Ravens to reverse the situation. And it is the trophy holder, the TPM, who qualifies.

By equalizing in the 37^th minute by the Cameroonian Francis DIPITA, HAC of Victor ZVUNKA had undoubtedly done the hardest. While TPM opened the score by Déo KANDA on a "fox" action from KALABA, the game was relaunched and the locals in an uncomfortable position.

But the MIHAYO-MWAKASU-KIDIABA team did not lower their heads. On the contrary, even when exposed to a few cons, it played the game, pushed the opponent to foul and exploited one of its big blunders. Showing that at Kamalondo, they do not joke when it comes to beg stakes...

SINKALA was alone near the surface. He had time to control and then strike a corner-hit without any opposition. This is what a match at this level: make as few errors as possible...

Mazembe thus deserved his ticket for the quarter-finals that he will compete in September. The appointment is made, time now to Division 1!
