the first half:
In the first minutes
of the half Raja surprised the Egyptians with some attacking and a dangerous
counter attack in the 49th. In the progress Raja was able to keep the ball
further away from their own goal than in the first half resulting in a
match rare of goal scenes now..
In the 72nd minute
an accidental 'own-goal lob attempt' after a Casablanca corner was saved
by the Egyptian keeper.
The game became more
and more hectic in the second half and a Raja substitute was sent away
from the substitute bench.
78th: some disorder
in the AL Ahly defence after a corner led to an opportunity for Raja but
the resulting shot went across the bar.
80th: a nore rare threat
of Al Ahly towards the Marrocain goal.
85th: almost a killing
counter-opportunity for Raja but offside
no surprise that balls
were vanished for some seconds.
Last minutes Al Ahly
operated exclusively with long balls into the penalty area, but a lot of
wrestling was keeping Al Ahly players from profiting from bouncing balls,
a difficult game now for the referee who considered it better not to decide
anything now.
In the fourth minute
of injury time finally an opportunity for Al Ahly but the dangerous situation
ended in a shot wide.
