Hope ST defeated Mamelodi Sundows team tonight in Rades on the 1-0 score in a matching match for the first leg of the African Champions League. The only goal was scored by the Brazilian Yan Sasse in the 41 ‘. East takes option …
Hope started the match on the hats by seeking from the start to make the difference. Faced with an opponent whose main quality is the conservation of the ball, the “blood and gold” bet on a defense and a reinforced environment, in order to thwart the game in movements of the South Africans.
But as expected, the team of Mamelodi Sundows sets foot on the ball and unrolls her game. She will even create a golden opportunity to open the score in 18 ‘but the shot of the South African striker struck the transversal.
The first alert rang for the teammates of Memmiche, but it is still the South Africans who will create the danger when on one of their combinations, they manage to deceive Amanallah Memmiche in the 37 ‘, but the goal is canceled for offside.
At the 38 ‘, around the East to create the danger when the post and a South African defender prevent the ball from shaking the nets. This is only part given since Yan Sasse will find the path of the nets in the 41 ‘after a judicious service of Rodrigues.
Leading 1-0, the Hope decreases from a notch in the second half leaving the management of operations to its opponent. Mamelodi Sundows, a very technical and very collective team shows the full extent of their talent but will never manage to equalize due to the presence of a large goalkeeper in the “blood and gold” cages.
With this advantage of 1-0, East did the essentials, but the return match will be much more difficult to negotiate, next Friday, facing a team that plays both outside than in home.
East training: Amanallah Memich, Mohamed Ben Ali, Mohamed Amine Tougai, Yassine Meriah, Mohamed Amine Ben Hmida, Roger Aholou, Houssem Tka, Ghailane Chaalali, Yan Sasse, Houssem Ghacha, Silva Rodrigues
