Tout Puissant Mazembe

Lupopo-Mazembe on February 28, 2021 will remain the worst derby of the past five years! The Ravens forced their talent and offered the game but encountered the big physical impact and the provocation of the Railwaymen.

Pamphile's less aggressive men will pay the price by losing two players to injury due to the incomprehensible outpourings of referee Taylor BAMBISA.

A technique was not enough, even if the desire was in the Ravens' legs.  A draw that doesn't help the accounting situation.

Back on the Live Game

DERBY LUSHOIS: Match launched by  Viets at the Frédéric KIBASSA Stadium

1^st On a loss of ball in midfield, the TPM is countered but Héritier KASONGO misses his crossing.

2^nd The derby starts with pressure from both sides

3^rd TPM response by Gondry SUDI, the winger strikes directly into the goal instead of crossing.

4^th Gondry SUDI takes a stroke in a duel and remains on the ground, game stopped

6^th SUDI speeds to the right and gets the first corner of the match. 0-0

8^th The "yellow and blue" circulate the ball in the camp of the "black and white" and get a throw-in but a TPM block is very compact to destroy the opponents' assaults

10^th Top Pressure by TSHIBANGU on the left, two handballs in a row played by MPUTU and OCHAYA. It ends in Yves MUKAWA's gloves. 0-0

17^th Throw-in by Lupopo and MOKONZI tries the 20 meters. No worries for MOUNKORO

20^th A great opportunity for Ravens. Back launched by SUDI and MPUTU. Trésor and Isaac stumble on the defense of the Cheminots. 0-0

22^nd Lupopo's response. The Viets proceed by small passes and it ends with an unsupported shot by Joseph IKAMBA which is easily picked up by MOUNKORO

25^th Yellow to MOHUTA for an illegal challenge on SUDI who was going very quickly

28^th  Isaac TSHIBANGU remains on the ground for first aid. The injury would be serious but let's wait

30^th TSHIBANGU, having just returned to the pitch, is the victim of another foul. Louison SEFU on Lupopo's right side is awarded a yellow card. 0-0

32^nd The game is not getting excited. This derby is rather dull but muscular in the physical impact. Philippe KINZUMBI will take the place of Isaac TSHIBANGU who seems to be on one leg.

35^th Game stopped! Trésor MPUTU and Christian KOUAME took voluntary knocks. Let's wait for the decision of the referee who is discussing with the two captains. 0-0

38^th TSHIBANGU injured, leaves the pitch on a stretcher, KINZUMBI goes up. The referee seems to want to moderate the pressure in this derby

40^th OCHAYA also takes a knock. MPUTU also takes a yellow for  drawing of a jersey

46^th Gondry SUDI is already awarded yellow as soon as the match resumes

49^th A delivery of ZOLA's head for MOUNKORO puts TPM goalkeeper in hardship. The international from Mali takes a sole to the left arm. He needs to be treated

53^rd What a missed opportunity for  Ravens! MIKA throws ISSAMA to the right, the full-back puts a tight cross in front of the penalty spot. KOUAME misses on his own as he strikes. 0-0

65^th Free kick of EBENGO flying over MOUNKORO crossbar

70^th MPUTU and SUDI replaced by BOSSU and MAYOMBO

75^th Etienne MAYOMBO penetrates the surface and tries to fix the collapsing winger and controls the ball with his hand. The referee does not flinch. 0-0

90^th A long ball from CHONGO lands in the area, BOSSU deflects for BALEKE who in turn lands on the goalkeeper.  Ravens claim a handball control as they pass. A defender on the ground blocked the ball with his hand
