On two headers in the first half, the Ravens flew higher than their opponents (2-0), to regain first place in these Play-offs.
From the start, Mazembe imposed his rhythm in the game. And it was Joël Beya who opened the scoring in the 8th minute. Patient Mwamba’s cross is excellent for the attacker who unlocked the scorer (1-0).
The Kindu club, which tried to get its head above water, was caught on the counter. At the forefront, Ibrahima Keita placed the ball in the back of the net with a header to double the score (2-0, 34th).
Shortly before the break, Joël Beya on a solitary action found Oscar Kabwit. The ally’s shot is deflected for a corner by the opposing goalkeeper, well in place. Pressing their opponent, the Badiangwenas, also efficient at the back, managed their lead perfectly until the break.
In the second half, there was no clear opportunity for both teams, had it not been for Jephté Kitambala who narrowly came close to reducing the score with a quarter of an hour to go.
Despite the various replacements, the score will no longer change. And it was on this score of 2-0 that the referee ended the game. With this success, Lamine N’Diaye and his troops take first place with 7 points, just ahead of Papy Kimoto and his troops (6 points). On the next day, Maniema Union will meet FC Lupopo in Kindu, while Mazembe will face CS Don Bosco.
Initially scheduled for 5 p.m. from Lubumbashi, it was finally at 3 p.m. that the duel between Mazembe and Maniema Union kicked off this Wednesday, March 13, 2023.
