غدا هلال افريقا ينازل سوبر اسبورت كاس العالم

Quote: United cruise past Al Hilal SuperSport United were stretched to the limit by Sudanese side Al Hilal in their first round, second leg African Champions League tie before registering a 2-0 victory at the Securicor Loftus Stadium on Sunday. More African Champions League Results Aubin Takutchi opened the score almost at the half hour and Abram Raselemane increased their lead from a free kick shortly before the break to give the Tshwane side a cushion going into the break. It was Raselemane's second goal in as many games after also scoring their solitary goal when they held AS Port Louis 1-1 in their first round tie in Mauritius during April and on Sunday showed that international competition is sharpening his finishing. Although it appeared as if "Matsatsantsa" were headed for a cruise following the sleek manner in which they destroyed Kaizer Chiefs in mid-week, it was not to be as they went to sleep. It was a discretion they could live to regret as the Sudanese side also woke up from their siesta and started making a fight of it, though it must be mentioned that they hardly looked like the side that eliminated Egyptian giants Al Ahli in the previous round. However, it could be a different story in Khartoum in the second leg in a fortnight as they showed glimpses of brilliance, even though they lost possession of the ball with sickening monotony. United were never in trouble throughout the match and operated in second gear, hardly stretching themselves against opponents who appeared content to just contain them with the hope of delivering a knockout in the second leg in a fortnight. Pitso Mosimane's charges now only need to hold on in the second leg and should they succeed, will qualify for the money-spinning group stage where the eight best teams in the continent stand to pocket a lot of lolly.
