Translation by Tony Larsson (#38738)

[…wnanaanza tena huku Mahmoud Abbas, anaupiga katikata ya kiwanja anauchukua tena pale Mulamba anampiga chenga hapa Kala Rokali, Rokali anakwenda pale kupiga pale krosi moja pale mbele kumtafuta JJ Masiga, JJ Masiga…..GOOOOOOOOOAAL!
Tunapata bao la kwanza msikilizaji! Kama nlivyokwambia, leo ni leo anyesema kesho muongo! Tunapata bao la kwanza manake baada ya krosi moja kupigwa na Mulamba na kaipata vizuri JJ Masiga, aliamua kwenda yeye mwenyewe na akawapiga chenga wote pale na difensi nzima! Manake wale walinzi na akawapiga chenga na akamtazama vizuri goalkeeper kule Mparusa na akapiga manake kwenye kamba kule kwa hivyo na kuzigusa kamba hizo na kwa hivyo inakuwa ni bao la kwanza katika michuwano wa leo!…]
[…and the action resumes, Mahmoud Abbas takes control right at the center of the pitch, he picks it up again, there’s Mulamba—he sidesteps his marker, now it’s Kala Rokali, Rokali moves forward, sends in a cross, searching for JJ Masiga, JJ Masiga… GOOOOOOOOOAL!

We have our first goal, dear listener! Just as I told you, today is the day—anyone who says tomorrow is a liar! We have our first goal, and it all started with a brilliant cross from Mulamba, perfectly met by JJ Masiga. He decided to go for it himself, dribbling past the entire defense! He left the defenders behind, took on the goalkeeper Mparusa, looked him straight in the eye, and fired it—right into the back of the net, brushing the ropes! And so, it’s the first goal of today’s tournament!…]
