This what happened in the final game of the Pan Arab Clubs Championship that opposes the Lebanese Team " la  Sagesse " to Algerians Team " Wadad Boufariq " .

Monday 30, 11h00 am : In Ghazir Staduim , Sagesse supporters had been already set up
to attend the finale and win the game . Their  steps were " full to crack ".
In the streets: Sagesse supporters give each other a free appointment to Sagesse Center, at the School Of Wisdom " Achrafieh " , where a giant screen is installed to transmit the meeting live in forecast of the thousands of witnesses who would not be long in coming.
 

 

  

 

ONE A FAILED TO LOSE!
Really failed! Not, but the first half was difficult. The " servant boys " were nervous and often lost the occasion to mark baskets. Boufariq in profited to outdistance us by several baskets at 3 points.
Time out on time out, the green trainer, Ghassan Sarkis does not manage to reverse the score in favour of its team.
Outside, in Achrafieh and in every house,disappointment was with its roof.
 
SECOND HALF-TIME, THE HOPE REAPPEARS
It is only after the 15 minutes of rest that the " servant boys " reacted, outstanding basket on basket. And the tension on the steps and elsewhere, disappeared as by enchantement. After having equalized, the score of Wisdom exceeds soon that of the opposing team.
A cry of heart rose : " Haram Kifaya " , " Ah! Ah! Boufariq " .

Monday 30, in the neighbourhoods of 23h00 pm:
Who thus remembers the exact hour to which the match finished? One was all occupied shouting victory, the eyes always rivetted over the screen where Elie Mechantaf received finally the cup!!
He carried it on his shoulder like a so much awaited baby.Then, he passes it to his friends and to
the trainer until he reaches the president of the club, Antoine Choueiri.
In Achrafieh , Batroun , Marjeyoun , Bécharré under snow or the rain, the night had become day!
The hole country celebrate this Hour Of Glory..
