Sunday, December 8, 2024 will remain etched in the memory of TP Mazembe supporters, who witnessed a match full of twists and turns and intense emotions. Traveling to the Al Hilal team’s field, the Ravens had to face significant adversity and an unexpected scenario.
From the kick-off, the tension was palpable on the pitch of the Cheikha Ould Boïdiya stadium. Unfortunately, the Lushois conceded a goal from a set piece in the first minutes of play, thus plunging into a delicate situation. Despite this setback, TP Mazembe was able to raise its head and show its determination as the minutes went by.
The match started at a frantic pace, testifying to the intensity of the rivalry between the two teams. Attempts by players like NGALAMULUME and KABWIT punctuated the first minutes, but it was Mohamed YAGUB ABDELRHMAN YOUSIF who opened the scoring for Al Hilal from a penalty. An achievement that put the defensive solidity of the Ravens to the test, but they knew how to react.
Despite the repeated attacks of the opposing team, TP Mazembe found a gap thanks to KABWIT, whose spectacular strike ended up in the back of the net suddenly. A goal full of panache that gave hope to the supporters of the Congolese club.
The second half was not short of twists and turns, with hot actions on both sides of the field. The TP Mazembe defense, led by LUZOLO and MUNGWENGI, held firm against the incessant attacks of Al Hilal. Despite their solidarity, the Lushois finally conceded a goal at the end of the match, thus sealing their defeat that was difficult to take.
This setback must not undermine the determination of the TP Mazembe players, who will have to bounce back quickly to regain their dynamism. The next matches, especially against Young Africain’s, will be crucial to restart the machine and get back to winning ways.
In short, this match between TP Mazembe and Al Hilal will remain as an intense moment of football, marked by individual exploits and a fierce fight for victory. The Ravens’ supporters remain confident about their team’s ability to turn things around and shine again on the continental stage.
