The Coupe Nationale Des Quartiers is a football tournament
Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX
between 16 teams split into 4 pools.
After this stage, the best two teams from each group
get the chance to make the final...
He's out.
Go on. Don't mess up.
Go on Abou, try again.
This is how we play soccer in these neighborhoods.
All the big players who come
from the projects started out like this.
They start out on city pitches. "Do him dirty, kill him!"
Everyone's yelling, you get nutmegged,
that's the Coupe Nationale Des Quartiers.
For the technical guys, this is their tournament.
Eight teams, not huge.
These tournaments are for them.
Some people will never make the national team.
This is their team,
their moment.
You can be 100% Congolese, 100% Caribbean, 100% French,
that's no problem, as long as
you respect your parents' values.
There's no way around it.
For me, these events are more powerful than any speech,
than any protest.
It's a relief, for our moms too.
When we're playing, they can relax.
It does us good.
Set an example for the crowd.
Ignore those who are hoping this won't go well.
Some people just don't want to see this kind of tournament.
They see it as some kind of segregation, but it's not!
We're here, and proud of what we are:
the Coupe Nationale Des Quartiers!
AROUND THE WORLD
8 HOURS TO THE QUARTERFINAL ALGERIA - SENEGAL
How's it looking?
That one's higher. Bring it down.
- He's already tied that one up. - Okay then, lift it up.
In 2019 we called it the Coupe Nationale Des Quartiers,
but its official name was
the Living Together Tournament.
That's what Créteil is all about: living together.
You've got every culture, every origin,
every religion.
It's an incredibly vibrant city.
You have 16 players, and of those 16 players,
eight have to come from Créteil,
and you need at least one from each neighborhood.
L'ABBAYE NORTH CRÉTEIL
Hi, I'm Malik,
I'm captain of the CNDQ Algerian team.
The standards are high, particularly in Créteil.
Most of the teams are in it to win it.
They take the best players from the local area.
The Algerian team had to make some tough choices.
You can only have 16 players.
You have to turn some people down even though they're really good.
You have to do it all. You're captain, player, coach, manager.
You wear many hats!
One, two, three, go Algeria!
In France, there are more people from Algeria or of Algerian descent
than from anywhere else.
Algeria's love of soccer is insane.
My dad, for example.
Soccer was the only thing on TV. Algeria all the way.
Because of our dual heritage,
we love Algeria all the more thanks to soccer.
You see matches on TV
with the Algerian flag flying for no apparent reason.
You'll see it at a third-division game in Peru.
So be our witness! Be our witness! Be our witness!
QUARTERFINAL ALGERIA - SENEGAL
Our game is so technical, it's almost taunting.
Do a rainbow flick, control the ball, send it out again.
That's just how we play.
ALGERIA 1 - 0 SENEGAL
Don't worry guys, keep going!
The Algerian supporters are really loud, so we felt really small.
It could have been tough, but we were like, "We talked about this!"
Get that in the players' heads.
We showed them we were still going.
ALGERIA 1 - 3 SENEGAL
One goal, two goals, three goals!
It was a nightmare. Everything went wrong.
Two guys got injured.
You asked us to be more flexible about faults
and now you want him to get a red card?
I gave him a yellow card.
HALFTIME
Don't let the Algerians sway you, they're incredibly persuasive!
I was onto something and you ruined it.
We got in their heads,
and you heard less "olé olé" and more "ooh ooh ooh!"
Let's go guys!
This is our story!
Then I went on.
ALGERIA 2 - 7 SENEGAL
Who are the men?
Sofiane, who are the men?
It's over! Over! You get me?
It's over!
Look at this lion! He's scary!
- It's over! - We crushed them!
It was a disaster. I can't explain it.
We were the favorite to win.
I can't even say we were arrogant,
because we weren't.
Losing is annoying, but letting people down is the worst.
People tell us we messed up.
You go back home and people have a go at you. It never ends!
One, two, three, there's the way out!
Today, we made it rain.
Trust me, look out for Senegal.
You may have dismissed us, but we're coming for you.
I knew I was going on at the end.
I trust my teammates. I just come in and do my job.
I'm still looking for the ball since I scored a hat-trick.
PkoiPa94!
LA HAYE AUX MOINES CENTRAL CRÉTEIL
I was thinking about it all week! It was my lucky night.
Being top scorer at 33 when I don't really play anymore...
It feels great. I make out like I don't care,
but in my head, when I'm at home...
I drive my brothers crazy. "Mom! I'm top scorer!"
That really makes me happy.
You cheapskate!
Naïm, seriously...
- You have to! - Are you serious?
A euro. Thanks.
If you make a bet, you have to pay up.
They're local kids.
That's my PlayStation. They don't have one.
- They've never seen a PlayStation 5. - I have!
He's lying.
This tournament really shouldn't be overlooked.
Seeing so many people that are so invested...
We've had messages from Koulibaly, captain of the Senegalese team.
It shows that word is getting round, and there's a reason for that.
There are soccer players that support these events,
and I think that's great.
They haven't forgotten where they come from.
They want to be involved. Soccer has changed.
The way they play now isn't how they used to play.
They'd just go out and play.
If I play, I won't be a defender. I'll be a striker.
I won't go crazy, but I'll dribble, try out some moves, etc.
You're in a different headspace, you don't play by the book as much.
It's like when we were kids
and we played just to put on a show.
MEHDI PLAYER FOR THE CARIBBEAN
Yeah!
Here's the artist!
How are you, bro? You good?
How are you guys? All good?
This is Rsko.
- Soon you'll be hearing him everywhere. - Yeah! La calle!
Like never before!
I'm a 94 boy, guys! Fire!
Like never before!
They got wasted!
We got a pool in the middle of the estate!
The older guys from the estate bought all this.
They're doing loads for the kids on this estate.
There are others too, but this guy is working magic at the moment.
This is Biscuit. He runs Neighborhood At Heart.
We make donations, run soup kitchens, and have some fun.
He organized all this.
When we were kids, we didn't have this.
Over the last few years, with COVID and everything,
the kids missed out.
We want them to have some fun.
The moms love to see them having a good time, and all for free.
Not everyone can afford a pool.
You get me?
We're trying our best! You get me.
If you want something to eat, go ahead. It's free.
There are loads of sausages!
I can't eat now, I've got a match at eight.
The Coupe Nationale Des Quartiers!
Come watch me play, man!
Hey guys, come get a sausage!
My T-shirt needs ironing. Can you do it please, Mom?
Always Mom, Mom, Mom... Mom, do this, do that.
- Thanks Mom. - Thanks Mom...
My mom's the best.
I'm very happy,
very very proud.
Very happy.
He's played in tournaments too.
He took a vacation
to see me in Guadeloupe,
and he played in tournaments in Guadeloupe.
They didn't want him to leave.
They're always asking after him. They came over here and asked for him.
That makes me very happy.
It's weird over there. It's weird out in the sticks.
- He didn't want to! - No, I couldn't stay there.
You can't if you were raised here. I was going nuts out there.
There's no way I could stay. But it was good. I stayed for ten months.
Yeah, I stayed for ten months.
But no, I could never.
Tell me to go back there?
Great weather, beaches...
I'm happy on the estate.
I'm glad I have Caribbean roots.
Our parents taught us things that they wouldn't have been taught in France.
They grew up there. It's not like France.
We're considered French,
but truth be told, it's nothing like France.
There's a lot of poverty there.
Things are hard.
There's my big brother. Film him.
He's my second big brother, even though he's the shortest.
It's not my fault it's so hot. I didn't ask for this.
- Are you ready? - We're ready!
- You be careful. - Don't worry.
He's causing trouble.
Predictions?
- 3-2. For the Congo, of course. - You're gonna lose!
They're gonna lose.
- We'll be eating bokit. - We'll be eating pondu.
- Right? - Right!
- Predictions? - My brother scores twice. And you?
His brother scores twice, 3-2.
For the Congo! He's my bro!
There's no music round here.
We're in the zone, it's all in the head.
You'll see on the pitch. No bragging here.
It's over there.
The Caribbean is that way. Gouyad, kompa, it's all over there!
- We're focused! See you. - Don't bother filming us.
We really want to show that this year, the Congolese players are really...
top-level.
We've seen it in the game, now we're going to see it against the Caribbean.
We're brothers, but today...
The Congo is here, united,
and ready to strike.
Raymond! Come over here!
We have to stay together.
They can wander off, but we're together, united.
Now's the time to speak up. We can't chat on the pitch.
We have to talk now.
Think of it as just another match.
A little five-a-side!
We don't play well under pressure, guys.
Don't start questioning things.
Follow your instincts, from here and here.
Don't start getting all, "Oh, I'm thinking, what do I do?"
Dribble if you want to. Do what you want.
Call your players, please. Goalkeepers!
I'm feeling the pressure too! What I'm about to tell you isn't easy.
All of you, look me in the eye.
For the crowd, you represent this tournament.
All your shady moves and stuff
will sway the crowd.
People from the Congo and the Caribbean are two huge communities.
So please guys, set an example. Everything depends on you!
Respect the tournament!
Even more so than the teams.
Enjoy the game, and may the best team win.
QUARTERFINAL THE CARIBBEAN - CONGO
Get back!
THE CARIBBEAN 1-0 CONGO
Mehdi!
Hey guys, we saw this earlier.
Think 0-0! We saw this earlier!
We saw this! 0-0! Don't lose your heads!
They're the best team in the tournament, for sure.
But things were going our way.
I knew they would. I have this intuition.
I didn't think we'd win
because we're better, but we are more determined.
THE CARIBBEAN 1-3 CONGO (HALFTIME)
There are three at the back.
They can do what they like. We're not getting the second balls.
They're hungrier than us! Everyone is watching.
You're playing like amateurs! You're here to show off.
Ignore the cameras.
Get out there and show me a decent second half.
We switched off their supporters! Hear the speakers? We switched them off!
- No instruments! - No sound effects!
Right! We're Congolese!
Come on, let's go!
The black shirts can do it!
- Go, black shirts! - Shoot, little bro!
Shoot!
The shit has hit the fan!
- It's not over! - Now it's getting real, little brother.
Mehdi! Mark him!
Good!
We're gonna equalize, guys!
THE CARIBBEAN 3-3 CONGO
That's not a foul!
The referee will keep the peace.
Hey, guys, get off the pitch. Are you for real?
It's all or nothing now.
PENALTIES (3 STRIKERS)
THE CARIBBEAN - CONGO
The enthusiasm is unbelievable. You can't...
I hope everyone gets to feel that at some point, it's just incredible.
I've played in the CFA, the CFA 2,
and I've never seen anything like it.
Nothing like it.
It was a tough one today.
The Caribbean really tried, but didn't win.
A match lasts 90 minutes, right?
Well done to the Caribbean, but the Congo will make the final.
You heard it here first.
No hard feelings, man!
We went too easy on them.
We scored a goal, we thought we'd thrash them...
And we paid for it.
We paid for it. We weren't tough enough in the duels.
We let them get away with a lot.
We shouldn't have lost this game! We hit the bar four times, man!
Fimbu! Fimbu! Fimbu!
Fimbu!
Fimbu means you gave them a beating.
What can you do about fimbu?
They got their share of fimbu!
I know that soccer and music are tightly linked in the Congo.
It's important. We all have our thing.
We do it this way, some will be a bit more warlike,
others won't really celebrate.
Our cultures are different. For the Congo, it's about music.
You can't explain it. It's in our genes.
It comes from our roots, it's natural.
If a Congolese guy's on the team, you'll be dancing, he'll have music.
I made friends with Tiako quite naturally.
I was listening to Gasolina on repeat.
My album came out the day before. I think he'd already heard it on TikTok.
He liked it, he sent me the video, and I reposted it.
We're from the same generation, we're making it big together.
He's come a long way, he's worked hard to get here,
and he's trying to make it, like me,
so thanks to those values, we became friends naturally.
COTEAUX DU SUD SOUTH CRÉTEIL
Music, lust for life, we've got all that.
We're born with it.
Since we were kids,
our homes have turned into nightclubs every Saturday.
Inviting people over, having fun, we're party people.
It doesn't always work in our favor.
When the time comes to be serious and concentrate,
sometimes we forget things.
And Congolese people don't have a good reputation.
We don't take anything seriously, we party too much,
we only care about clothes and girls...
We're going to the Duvauchelle stadium to show them who the Congolese really are!
They make fun of us at every Coupe Nationale Des Quartiers.
All we do is drink beer!
All we do is dance!
We'll show them who the Congolese really are!
We're Bantus!
We're Spartans!
I said we'd win, and I was right!
We know how to have fun, but we can be serious too.
We're in Coteaux du Sud.
People say we don't really mix with other neighborhoods.
We keep to ourselves, it's like a family.
He's feeling the pressure. Go for it, Momo!
Yo!
- I'll go next! - Go on, you can do it!
Yeah!
He's got talent!
It's friendly here.
Even if you're not from here, as long as you know the...
I mean, I wouldn't say "rules," but if the people here respect you,
you'll always be made welcome.
The suburbs are swimming with raw talent.
My name's Jason Mbock, I'm 22.
I'm from quite a big family. I have seven siblings.
My dad's Cameroonian, my mom's French.
Everyone wants to play for France.
But for me, I'd be proud either way.
I'd be proud to play for Cameroon on my dad's side too.
You always want to represent your home country,
so I'd always love to play for Cameroon,
just as I'd love to play for France.
ONE DAY TO THE SEMIFINAL
Mom can't see me lose.
Dad on the bench and Mom in the stands? No way! You're crazy.
No way! Are you kidding me?
We're the favorite to win!
It's true, right?
Bro, we'll find out tomorrow.
Okay!
We're gonna sleep well, we're gonna watch the fireworks,
and have a good sleep.
Catch you tomorrow at 6 p.m. !
I'm not gonna eat.
- Don't go crazy. - No, listen!
I won't eat, so once we thrash you, we can go straight to Beef Cut!
Go home, take a shower, and straight out to eat!
So you're sure you'll win?
Look, I brought you guys a little Malian.
- How's it going? - How are you?
All good.
The pressure's on them. You should see their group chat.
They're sending all these long messages.
"Okay guys, focus! Have a good dinner, go to bed early!"
We're in it to win it! For the motherland!
- Mali's feeling the pressure. - Never!
Guys, we don't care who we're playing against.
We just have to play our game.
Look...
I saw those messages.
- You're coming to the final? - Sure!
I'll get you a shirt.
He's spoken! If you qualify, what will you bring me?
Okay.
I'll just bring you the cup.
- I'll bring you the cup. - He's spoken.
I think I'll go for France.
- I won't bring you some shirt. - Straight to the cup.
The pools changed everything. Look at Algeria.
Who'd have thought that Algeria and the Caribbean would be eliminated?
You know what they're thinking?
Jason...
Good! Keep it up! All the better for me.
- They'll forget the other players. - Works for me.
BLEUETS-BORDIÈRES NORTH CRÉTEIL
Hello, I'm Soronah,
I'm ten years old.
I like soccer, watching matches, I like it all.
I hope Mali will win.
Because I love Mali!
There's a lot to play for. We're a match away
from the final in the Duvauchelle stadium. Not everyone
gets to play there,
so everyone wants to bring their parents, their kids if they have any,
to watch them play.
This is still just a humble neighborhood tournament.
If Mali wins... It's a big country!
So if we can make a success of it,
and scare the other teams next year...
That's our goal.
How's it going?
Hey, Jason. What's going on with your hair?
- You want more attention? - I've gone Super Saiyan!
Abdelak wasn't there! He would have kicked people in the ankles!
How do you break a guy's nose and not get a red card?
- Don't say that, come on. - Malik, stop it!
His head was going towards the guy's foot!
Malik! It was a flagrant red card, you're right!
Gaoussou!
- It's the rules! - This is a neighborhood game!
You're 1m80, Idriss is 1m90, he kicks him in the face.
- These guys are flexible! - Do you think Ladji deserved a red card?
- What for? - Breaking Idriss's nose.
We're actually asking if a broken nose deserves a red card?
- Did he mean to? - We don't know.
You couldn't tell right away if his nose was broken.
As per the rules, you give a yellow card,
the player's physical integrity has been damaged, he's sent off.
That's a red card! It is!
Our parents came here to give us a better future, as they say.
We have an extra strength.
We're proud to be French, but we're also proud of our roots.
That's what this tournament is about.
Even though I'm French, I'm supporting Mali.
- And me, I hope? - Yeah, a bit. If you score!
Good luck!
I want impact!
My three defenders, I'm talking to you.
I want impact from left to right!
That means that the forwards here can't turn around and run from you.
If they turn around and run from you, grab them.
Scratch their eyes out.
Get it?
We've got a match to win!
You achieved this all by yourselves. No thanks to me.
I'm just someone trying to help you win. You did it on your own!
I've seen the other teams, none is better than yours.
But you have to focus! You have to want it, together.
If you do, you'll move mountains.
When it was 3-0, ask him what I said! We're done, out. I swear on my mom's life!
We won 4-3. That means a lot!
This is about more than representing your club or your neighborhood.
Get it? It's more than that!
You're representing your country.
I'm sweating just talking to you!
You're representing your people!
The Malians, the Africans that have come to see you play.
You represent them.
It's a lot to bear. Be aware of that.
So go do a good job.
We're with you, we'll do everything we can.
Do what needs doing and we'll get through. Get out there.
SEMIFINAL FRANCE - MALI
Gaoussou, step back a bit! Enjoy the semifinal, gentlemen.
Here we go.
On your own, forward. Go!
Look out, Abou.
Go wide, Jason!
Who's the referee?
He's not Cristiano Ronaldo!
- We can touch him! - Say what you like, it's a foul.
Some guys are just the sweetest guys you'll ever meet,
really, but when they play soccer they turn into someone else.
I'm smiley, I'm pretty happy, apart from when I'm in a competition.
Then you'll see another me.
Come on, Gaoussou.
On your own!
You have to score, Gaoussou!
Chin up, Gaoussou.
There'll be others, don't worry.
Go!
- He's on the outside! - Switch it up!
Ladji, on the left!
No whistle, play on!
There's the opening goal.
Whoever loses
is done for. Particularly if the other person does some tricks.
Watch out for the duels, gentlemen!
Go on. It's our ball.
Take a white shirt, or a blue one. Want a French shirt?
- Stay there! - Go wide, Ladji!
It's halftime, with 1-0 for France.
I'm supporting Mali, bro!
Yes she is!
- Go Mali! - Mali power!
Gentlemen,
this is a semifinal!
Nothing's going to be easy.
We need to get that final.
We've been a goal down, and we turned things around.
We need to turn things around again now.
We did badly in the first half? So we turn things around.
There's no point playing corners.
We have to take them on in pairs. They're bigger than us.
And they're lashing out.
You're doing really well.
We're not in a corner.
We're not down 5-0. We'll have opportunities.
Calm down, guys.
Some things were obvious.
- You're wearing a mic... - I don't care!
You know, that's just me. I'll never change. Mic or no mic.
Get out of there, Matthieu!
You can't say that's not a foul.
Sure, he'll get up. I didn't say he wouldn't.
But that's a foul.
It's a foul, Mr. Gaoussou.
I know you're a good guy. That's a foul, I swear.
- Go on, Mustapha! - Go long!
What a shambles! That's the second goal for France.
He'll be paying for dinner.
- It won't be cheap! - He already knows!
Careful. Step back a bit, sir.
Go, but don't overbalance, Django!
Goalie!
Leave the ball!
Be careful. Don't kill them.
We told you not to play.
So don't complain, just play.
Over to the other side, look out!
Don't argue with the ref!
Look...
All we want is for him to referee us correctly.
We're not here to cheat.
Of course it's a foul. We don't need the video.
We have a new rule: we have VAR now!
It's not usable.
He's far away, and we can't see with that field of vision.
What do you want to do? We can swap.
- I didn't say we weren't swapping. - What do you think?
He's faking.
Let's get back to it.
It's a free kick.
It's that neighborhood spirit.
Your friend beats you, you leave, and he's going to make fun of your game.
PENALTIES (3 STRIKERS)
One of my dreams is to work with the national Mali team,
but I think I need some more experience at a higher level before that.
I've always been soccer-mad. My maternal grandfather was too, so...
He was a diehard Juventus fan.
His name was Luigi Confalonieri, you see how Italian it sounds.
You take Sammy Traoré, 1m90, mixed-race, plays for Mali,
you wouldn't think his grandfather was Italian, but he was.
So you see, this dual or triple heritage makes you...
Might make you a bit different in the eyes of those that
only have one culture and need to open up to others.
My mom is Algerian,
so of course I feel like I also belong elsewhere.
When you see the Algerian soccer team, for example,
it means something to you.
It's important to you.
Try explaining to someone
that you feel like you're both, they'll ask, "How can that be?"
You can't choose between one or the other.
It's like choosing between your mom and your dad.
I wasn't born here, but I grew up here,
with this country's values.
I think representing your country in the national team
is something powerful, incredible.
You put on that shirt and carry that country's history.
That doesn't mean I'm forgetting my roots.
There's no harm in that.
If a French guy has a French flag,
people will say, "Great, he's proud of where he's from."
But he only has French roots.
I have French and Tunisian roots.
Where's the harm in representing both countries?
He used to wrestle for France, now he wrestles for Tunisia.
I'm not on the Tunisian team. But it's the same thing.
Yeah, I was on the French team, representing France.
I have no problem with that. I was proud to represent France.
If I change teams tomorrow,
I'll be just as proud to represent Tunisia.
I have no issue with representing France or Tunisia.
What made us who we are today,
growing up in France, studying in France, that dual heritage,
that's our personality, our identity.
You can't get rid of one identity or the other, and you wouldn't anyway.
Why would you?
If it's a strength, if it's a gain, you'd have no reason to!
The paranoia of those that have dual heritage
doesn't come from themselves.
The real problem is those that judge,
that criticize.
Not for the thousands or millions of people
who grew up here and whose parents come from elsewhere.
I feel like we managed to build ourselves a peaceful identity.
CRÉTEIL LAKE WEST CRÉTEIL
- Not many of us are Bambaras. - I am!
- We're the only Bambaras? Two? - A minority!
- Man! - Wow...
- It's rough. - Two Bambaras!
The Soninkes are tough! You're tough!
You've opened up bit by bit, but it's hard work!
- We're family! - We're all Malians!
We're in this tournament together. Forget it.
If there's an issue, blame it on the Bambaras!
Guys, is this an ambush?
No... You keep talking about the Soninkes. What do you really think?
Soninkes are great!
What do you like about Soninkes? Give me a reason.
- What is it you like? - Well, they… know how to live.
They show respect.
It's true!
They're made of strong stuff.
Leave a Soninke anywhere and he'll be fine.
He'll never struggle. You know he'll find his way home.
Send him off like a Frisbee!
A boomerang!
Leave him in Saint Denis, even if he can't read, he'll get home.
The casbah.
My name is Assa. My last name is Damba.
We speak to them in Bambara.
They understand, but the kids in France
often understand but don't speak much.
It's very important they know where their parents are from,
our roots, that's very important for them.
I'm Malian, his father is Malian,
they were born here but have Malian roots.
We think it's great.
And we say, "Go Mali! The Eagles!"
I'm sure France is proud of these tournaments,
to see that Anthony, a child born here,
is playing for his parents' country.
Honestly, I wasn't keen at first.
I didn't really want to play in the tournament.
I had my career, I was worried I'd get injured.
My dad wasn't keen either.
His brother came to me and said,
"Dad, leave it to me. I'll keep a close eye on him."
Every time he came home,
he'd bring good news, that he'd won, that he'd scored.
And I decided not to go,
so as not to jinx him, as they say.
That's why
I stayed home.
I see top players like Mbappe, and I really want that.
And when I see tournaments like the Coupe Nationale Des Quartiers,
that the Congo is winning, like it used to,
I want to experience that too!
I want to know what that feels like.
DUVAUCHELLE STADIUM CENTRAL CRÉTEIL
2 HOURS TO THE FINAL MALI - CONGO
I told you before!
We're not loud. The action's on the pitch!
- That's right! - You'll see!
You film us, we film you!
This is the first time Pompon's gonna play Duvauchelle.
The first time in his whole life!
All that experience, and it's his first game at Duvauchelle.
I played there once in the CFA 2!
Sorry, I thought it was the first time. So it's the second time!
I've never played in front of such a big crowd!
- I hope I don't mess up. - You deserve it. You won't mess up.
Can you thieves give us our balls back? Your balls are over there.
Hey, Lukas! Give them some balls, please.
They're stealing all our balls!
VIP BOX NORTH BLEACHERS
Move!
Go Mali!
They're teasing us.
They put that there to tease us.
I think our problem was that we didn't believe what was happening.
In our heads, we were still at the quarterfinal against Algeria.
We were still in that frame of mind,
as if we were playing Algeria, but it was the Congo.
They're a good team, they were fast, I don't think we...
played that well.
I think they deserved to win.
The Malians are family,
but I think the Congo will win 2-0.
You see how she's looking at me?
What will it be?
Nil for the Congo, and... I don't know!
It's full.
There are too many people over there.
We'll try to get them off the pitch.
STOP THE CONGOLIAN MASSACRES
Stop all this, it has to stop!
PEACE FOR MALI
Take it all in! Look around, gentlemen!
Supporters, an awesome pitch, nice weather.
What more could you want? This is a celebration.
A wonderful celebration.
But to make it even better, you need to win, gentlemen.
That will make it really great!
Do you hear that?
Soccer's not just business. It's friendliness, love for each other,
That's what we're talking about. Love, and solidarity.
It's happening in our home, department 94,
I'm an ambassador for it, and that makes me
really proud.
Look at all these people. Your moms, sisters, brothers, kids.
We don't need any more motivation. Guys, just stay together.
The last match wasn't easy. Stay together!
If everyone works on themselves, the team will come out on top.
How will we win? Together, guys! Together!
The newbies, the old hands.
Stick together! Mali, united!
I've played here in League 2, and it was never this full!
It was never this full!
Be united, and tonight we celebrate. That's the way it is!
What's up, children of the motherland?
The rest is insignificant To arms and all that
What's up, children of the motherland?
Our glory days are coming To arms and all that...
Soccer is the real winner here, but will the Congo or Mali win?
Let's go!
Vamos!
There's the start of the first half.
Thirty-five minutes for this first half between the Congo and Mali,
live from the Duvauchelle stadium in Créteil.
Basso, better than that! Keep it...
The captains are going head to head.
Use your feet!
There's the first goal, guys!
The first goal of the game, by Gaoussou for Mali!
He's Mali's top scorer!
This is Gaoussou's eighth goal in this competition!
Gaoussou is one of the best players in the competition.
He was named...
Look at that response.
And the Congo's equalized!
The goals are flying!
That's Nathan Mituensi's second goal of the competition.
The Congo's reacting quickly.
Mali's struggling, they've got no energy.
Look out, Colombien!
The third...
No, no third goal there.
Yes! He's got room.
This is crazy!
This is incredible!
Incredible.
Celebrating like Memphis Depay!
That's Adama, Adama is number 9,
who scored that goal.
His first goal of the competition.
Mali is taking the lead again! That's 2-1 for Mali against the Congo.
Now that's a bit better.
How is Mali doing on your end?
Honestly, it's going great. The game's in full swing.
2-0... 2-1. I actually forgot the little...
Look out!
Head to head!
- There we go! - And it's a goal!
Colombien, this one's for you! It's Gaoussou!
He really is the man of the match.
That's two goals for the Mali captain!
Gaoussou is really someone.
He really is. The hat trick's not far off.
Incredible!
Faster!
They're catching up! We just had to say it!
It obviously stung them.
The Congo, that's 3-2.
The Congo has scored again
thanks to Nathan Mituensi, their number 9.
That's his second goal.
He scored the earlier goal too. The game is back on!
We're at halftime.
The score between Mali and the Congo is 3-2.
3-2 for Mali!
And we're off.
Colombien will play later on.
Here's the second half between the Congo and Mali.
Sammy Traoré's Mali team are in the lead, 3-2, against the DRC.
Let it go.
Leave it.
The Malians are already celebrating.
It's incredible.
Careful, it's not a sure thing yet! The Congo might...
He scores!
- That's a tie! - We just had to say it!
Incredible.
All we had to do was say it, and Anthony Batshoy,
number 10 for the Congo, brings the game to a tie!
It's not over!
What if this was it, right now?
Don't forget, Mamad called it,
this is the National Comeback Cup!
We're seeing another one this evening!
What an opening!
Goal!
Simply incredible!
What an insane goal!
It's all over!
This is incredible!
Mamadou Camara scores for Mali!
And Mali is back in control of the match!
4-3 for the Mali Eagles against the Democratic Republic of the Congo!
I'm with the Malian supporters.
Colombien, you have to go and see Camara.
They still have faith, that's the main thing.
If the supporters lose faith, then there's no point.
They're right. There's a minute left.
Look out! Goal!
We saw it coming!
Two goals for Anthony Batshoy, Congo's number 10,
who's brought his team up to a tie for the second time!
What a match, what a game, what a final
for the Coupe Nationale Des Quartiers!
Well, guys.
OVERTIME
You wanted it, and here we are!
The team to score the next goal will lift the Coupe Nationale Des Quartiers!
I'm with the Mali captain and striker.
How do you feel about this extra time?
We're feeling the pressure. We've made too many mistakes.
Now it's the golden goal. He who scores, wins.
Yes!
The golden goal!
It's over! It's the end!
Run after him! He's the man of the match!
Anthony Batshoy!
A hat trick for the Congolese player! The golden goal!
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the champion, and will lift the cup!
The Coupe Nationale Des Quartiers!
What a match!
That's the magic of soccer.
There'll be other disappointments, celebrations too.
That's life.
And now for the famous victory lap of the pitch,
with that song.
It's a victory lap.
There'll be some teasing.
They'll tease the Mali supporters.
We're trying to get hold of the striker. Guys, what a buzz!
What a buzz. You can join in with Prime Video on TikTok.
It's madness on the pitch!
- The Congo are the winners! - There'll be teasing!
Minimum three! If you're not happy, it's a hat trick.
One, two...
three goals!
He's from l'Abbaye, the only neighborhood that's good for soccer in Créteil.
Here's my buddy. I made an amazing friend in this tournament.
I told him from the start that we'd smash them.
That's it. It means, "Take that!"
And that's it.
AROUND THE WORLD
What?
I don't care.
They cheated. Those cheaters added on extra time.
And the refs were on the Congo's side.
That's not true!
To our victory, gentlemen. You have a goal to defend.
If you have to leave your moms on the pitch, do it.
I'd leave my mom on the pitch. She's in the bleachers.
I don't know if you would.
If you would, then I don't think they can beat us.
Sammy! Honestly, I salute your bravery, your selflessness,
I feel your ferocity to win and I admire that.
But calm down!
Ok, there's a crowd, loads of people.
The YARD guys are there,
it'll be on Amazon Prime. Sure!
What else? But your mom?
A Malian mom, what's more. With Malian moms, you get home,
there's thieb, there's maafe!
There's plenty to choose from, you know?
You think they'll leave them on the pitch just to win this match?
Calm down, man…
That's why they didn't win, bro.
When you said that, they went, "Ah…"
"We're not ready for this!"
They weren't ready for that, Sammy!
If you'd said that about their old man in the bleachers,
okay, you don't need your dad when you're a grown-up,
but their moms?
Sammy, calm down!
