mportant remark:
Unlike the years before
the reports of the group matches are summeries of various reports by other
sources.
As usually many reports,
although available in various form on various sites, go down to the same
human source and inherit the danger of overemphasizing a particular view
on events.
But the financial and
infrastructural situation (f.e. payTV) of The Shot does not allow a better
coverage at the moment.
Still The Shot has decided
to keep the value of an archive of reports alive through this improvisation
as the past years (since 1999) are documented very detailed.
Aug.
2/3/4:
Costa do Sol - Esperance
0:1
Esperance Tunis went to
Mozambique with two weeks extra preparation in the southern hemisphare.
But like the years before the Tunisian allstar team, spiced with a couple
of new players, had difficulties in finding their rhythm at this time of
the year. The likely reason is a lack of match practice for a reformed
team when the first weeks of the Champions League fall into the long summer
break of Tunisian league football before a new season starts. (Tunisia
is one of the countries which have a football year from summer to summer).
Still Costa do Sol proved
to be too much of an outsider to profit and Esperance took away the valuable
three points thanks to a goal by Jelassi in front of a disappointing crowd
of 5,000
The reported line-ups
were:
Costa do Sol:
24-Antoninho, 3-Sota, 13-Jotamo,
18-Julinho, 27-Pascoal, 28-Edmundo, 4-Betinho (10-Magaba 87), 20-Nelinho
(21-Samuel 75), 6-To, 11-Mavo, 19-Arnaldo (16-Ze Bernardo 46).
Esperance:
19-Jean-Jacques Tizie, 4-Khaled
Badra, 5-Moyin Chaabani, 7-Tarek Thabet, 15-Radhi Jaidi, 26-Jaouhar Mnari,
2-Oumar Sane (14-Sirajeddine Chihi 82), 11-Mourad Melki, 30-Clayton (Bechir
Mogaadi 87), 12-Riadh Jelassi (9-Ali Zitouni 73), 29-Kandia Traore.
Zamalek - ASEC 3:1
Aug 16/17/18:
At
the moment it is difficult to fill up the missing match reports because
of time, money, and/or somebody who does this work.
I hope I can add them
as soon as possible.
