A draw thanks to a goal by Salif COULIBALY

Bazano-Mazembe: further regrets
October 24, 2015
Despite several opportunities, TPM had to go draw with JS Bazano Group. While the Ravens were led from the 27th, Salif COULIBALY equalized one minute before break. Jean KASUSULA sends ball on the post in the 56th on penalty kick. 1-1, and we stopped there...
Back to Kibassa stadium for Ravens! A few hours before they set sail for Marrakech to prepare the final of the Champion’s League of CAF, the players of Patrice CARTERON met JS Bazano on the occasion of the 7th day of the championship. A game they started loudly: following a clearance by Sylvain GBOHOUO, Rainford KALABA is fouled in full penalty area at the time of arming the shot (13th). No reaction of the referee... Unfortunately for the Ravens after 27 minutes, LIMA BALAMEYA on a penetrating pass deceives the goalkeeper Sylvain GBOHOUO and gives the advantage to Lumpas (1-0).
Salif COULIBALY as a forward
Then Patrice CARTERON's players tried to react, but the ball by Adama TRAORE on a pass from Rainford KALABA fails on the crossbar (34th). By the fact of possessing the ball, the Ravens are more enterprising and are quickly rewarded before half-time. Taking advantage of a badly corner kick by the defense of Bazano. Salif COULIBALY who went at the limit of offside, hit with the flat of the foot on receiving a pass from Joël KIMWAKI.
Another missed penalty...
After the break, the Ravens attack again as they did early in the game. The technical staff launches Roger Claver ASSALE instead of Daniel ADJEI, and two minutes after entering of the number 7 of the Ravens, he is fouled in the penalty area: TPM is awarded a penalty kick. Ravens hope to take good advantage but the attempt of Jean KASUSULA fails on the left post of the goalkeeper KAMBASSA. Immediately after it missed, KASUSULA leaves the pitch for Nathan SINKALA in the 57th.
TPM increases it efforts, dominates in the game and casts doubt on Bazano but the balls do not go to the bottom of the net. Neither Thomas ULIMWENGU nor Mbwana SAMATTA nor Solomon ASANTE – came on for Thomas ULIMWENGU – even less Rainford KALABA are effective. The funniest thing in this second part of the match is the referee MBOWA, completely outdated, who also saves time as players of Bazano. He stops the game just to go and award a yellow card to a player of Bazano, out of pitch bounds, while the Ravens are attacking!
A goal on either side, Bazano are jubilant, Mazembe feeds regrets. For the second successive time in three days, the Ravens went draw. The championship continues...
