Zambia: ASEC Arrive For Saturday Clash
We have come to do our best in the first leg against Zanaco, ASEC Mimosa coach Maxime Gouamené said today.
The 1998 CAF Champions League winners arrived in Lusaka at 14:35 on Thursday on board an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Abidjan via Addis Ababa.
Zanaco and AESC face-off on Saturday at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka in a CAF Champions League first round, first leg match.
“We have come here to play to the best of our abilities,” Gouamené said. “The match will be played over two legs so, we have come to take our chances and do our best.”
Gouamené said he had followed Zanaco’s exploits in this year’s competition and expected them to be a formidable side.
“Zanaco is a good team as they showed against the Uganda team,” Gouamane said.
Zanaco beat URA of Uganda 4-0 in the return leg played at Nkoloma to overturn a 1-0 loss in the first leg to advance from the preliminary stage of the CAF Champions League 4-1 on aggregate.
ASEC on the other hand enjoyed a preliminary stage bye.
Winner over both legs will face either Entente Satif of Algeria or Union Douala of Cameroon in the second round in late April over two legs for a place in the group stage.
