First round, 2nd leg,
FridayESS vs APR FCAPR skipper is optimistic about the military side’s chances of getting a positive result in Sousse, Tunisia when they play Etoile Sportive du Sahel in the first round second leg tie of the Orange Champions League this Friday.But the forward admitted before the team’s departure to Tunis on Monday that the military side will need to score to stand a good chance of progressing to the next round. The first leg in Kigali ended goalless a fortnight ago."We are confident and believe the return leg will be more open, helping us to play our normal game. We missed many chances in the first leg because our opponents resorted to a more defensive tactic,” said the Amavubi Stars captain.He added; "It is going to be a tough battle, but the only weapon to win it will be to score goals and avoid conceding. We know it will be difficult but everything is possible.” In other matches expected over the weekend; Nigeria’s Dolphin take a precarious 2-1 lead over 2008 runners-up Cotonsport Garoua to Cameroon while Sunshine must overcome a 4-1 first-leg drubbing when they host Recreativo do Libolo from Angola.
