  • Story Text: PRESIDENT MOBUTU, OF CONGO-KINSHASA, WAS ONE OF THE SPECTATORS WATCHING THE AFRICAN CHAMPION CLUBS' SECOND LEG CUP FINAL IN KINSHASA RECENTLY. THE GAME ENDED WITH A DRAW BETWEEN KOTOKO, FROM GHANA, AND ENGLEBERT FROM CONGO-KINSHASA.

    PRESIDENT MOBUTU IS ONE OF THE FOREMOST SUPPORTERS OF AFRICAN SPORTS.

    THE GHANAIAN TEAM OPENED THE SCORING IN THE THIRTEENTH MINUTE, BUT ENGLEBERT (PLAYING IN THE WRITE SHIRTS) EQUALISED AFTERWARDS. BUT THE GHANA TEAM WENT AHEAD WITH ANOTHER GOAL BEFORE HALF TIME.

    IN THE SECOND HALF, ENGLEBERT PUT ON THE PRESSURE AND SCORED THEIR SECOND GOAL, MAKING THE SCORES EQUAL. ONE OF THEIR MEN, KALALA WAS KNOCKED OUT WHEN KOTOKO SCORED THEIR FIRST GOAL, SO THEY PLAYED THE GAME WITH TEN MEN, UNTIL WAY INTO THE SECOND HALF.

    EVEN EXTRA TIME COULD'T ALTER THE DRAW, SO A REPLAY MATCH WILL BE HELD SOON TO SEE WHO WINS THE CUP.

    IN THE FIRST LEG OF THE CUP, A WEEK BEFORE IN ACORA, BOTH TEAMS DREW AGAIN, THIS TIME ONE ALL.

    THE MATCH WAS PLAYED AT THE TATE RAPHAEL STATION IN KINSHASA. OSEI KOFI SCORED THE FIRST GOAL FOR KOTOKO, AND PARI KOFI THE SECOND. KABEYA SCORED ENGLEBERT'S GOAL, AND KALALA THE SECOND, FROM A PENALTY.
