By beating the Etoile du Sahel on the score of 2-0, Esperance has almost set foot in the quarterfinals of the African Champions League while the Stars are eliminated from the competition one day from the end of the group phase.
By welcoming at the Hammadi Agrebi stadium in Rades, Hope ST, L’Etoile du Sahel played his last card. Indeed, she had to win during this 5th day of the group stage in order to keep a hope of qualifying in the quarter -finals, but she missed her subject in the face of a very leg hope for this recovery.
The “blood and gold” dominated this meeting with their heads and feet. A domination materialized from 27 ‘when Yan Sasse opens the scoring in favor of his family.
Faced with a “helpless” starred team and above all without soul, Hope will drive the nail before the break through Zakaria El Ayeb, which, with a 18 -meter strike, doubles the brand in favor of “blood and gold”.
In the second half, the same scenario continues with a hope controlling the game and a disoriented Star. The many hopeful opportunities are there to illustrate it.
In 53 ‘, Rodrigues sees his attempt pushed on the goal line; In the 57 ‘, Bukia sees her shot pass by the starry cage; In the 85 ‘, Derbali’s attempt was rejected by the transversal; etc…
The East will still have a match to negotiate against Al Hilal before definitively qualifying for the quarterfinals while the SSE is eliminated.
