WEEKEND SCORECARD: Red Arrows Plot For Agosto

Red Arrows captain Benedict Chepeshi insists they have a plan to deal with Zambian clubs’ continental nemesis CD Primeiro De Agosto in the second round of the CAF Confederation Cup.

Arrows have a tricky second round date against Agosto that they secured following a 0-0 away first round draw against Eswatini side Young Buffaloes on Saturday to advance 2-1 on aggregate.

Unlike Arrows, Agosto enjoyed a preliminary round bye.

“At least we have seen how Agosto play, we have watched a lot of their games in Zambia like the ones against Zesco United and also in their league,” Chepeshi said.

Zesco have endured a very poor continental record against Agosto after drawing three and losing one game against the Angolans since 2018.

But Zesco are not Agostos’ only continental victims from Zambia over the last four seasons.

Green Eagles were ejected from the 2019/2020 CAF Champions League second round by the Luanda club.

Agosto drew 1-1 in the first leg in Lusaka but Eagles’ 2-1 away win in Luanda was not enough for the Choma side who bowed out on away goals rule.

“At least we have an idea of where we can start from, unlike Young Buffaloes whom we knew very little about,” Chepeshi said.

“We will just work extra hard to try and reach the group stage.”

Agosto visit Arrows in the first leg on October 16 while the final leg in Luanda is set for the weekend of October 23.

Winner over both legs will advance to the pre-group knockout round to be played in late November and early December against a team relegated from October’s CAF Champions League pre-group phase to decide who qualifies to the league stage of the CAF Confederation Cup that kicks off in February, 2022.
